[Deleted member 12147]

Just butchered my centre console to make way for my ipod, all i need to do now is bond the ipod connector and i'm done. What do you think?

[Deleted member 12147]

Yes it's fitted to a mk3 ibiza. It was v. easy to do.

would you recommend doing this than fitting a new headunit?

how old is your gas fire?

very old. We've just bought the house, so funds are tight only managed to decorate the living room. Plus it don't help, me buying a cupra and trying to mod it so the fire stays.

I did have a dension ipod link fitted to my standard stereo but i sold it. I fitted a new HU and bought a ipod interface which is alot better than the dension one. To answer your question though you could do this with either the dension link or an after market HU and interface, you just need to run the connection to the ipod under the centre console. The only problem you'd have with doing this with a dension interface is that it would be difficult to see the ipod display.

Cheers aint fussed about seeing screen of ipod,i can always make a docking bay somewhere so i can see ipod. Just wanted to know if music quality is good etc? cheers for ur info

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Yep music quality is spot on with both dension link and after market interface, i'd recommend upgrading your speakers if they are standard.

Looks smart, u got any pic's of the headunit u fitted?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Here you go.

 

[beattie17]

Cheers was ur headunit easy to fit?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

It was easy in theory but when it come to actually fitting it was abit of a nightmare. If i had to do it again it would be easy tho, have you fitted stereo's before?

 

[beattie17]

Yeah have fitted stereo's before.Something i mite look into in future eh upgrade headunit

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Yea would definately recommend it, after upgrading my front and rear speakers the standard stereo just wasn't upto scratch.

 

[beattie17]

Got ipod and dension,fitted in all in ten minutes lol.
1 question tho,whats the yellow connector for?tv?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

What yellow connector? Do you mean the one that plugs into the rear of the standard stereo, that's for the aircon ain't it?
