Has anybody found a viable solution for their iphone.. im currently using the standard iPod connection which is ok but I can take call & it doesn't charge my iphone... I have been looking at the dension gateway 300 but that will do everything apart from answer my calls...
Just want to know if anybody else has managed to come up with a complete intergration for both calls & music

Thanks for the reply mate.. I was looking at the kit.. Do you loose the cd changer functionality when using the parrot kit?
-
nope ya can still use changer its just an add on bluetooth hands free that you can stream music through
-
But does the parrot charge the iphone aswell? i used to have an alpine head unit in my old car that wouldnt charge or play music of my iphone but would my ipod. Seeing as the iphone could possibly the sh!test for battery life, they also seem to be really fussy about they will sync with. would be nice to see a head unit that could charge and play music of the phone. Calls would be a bonus too.
Am i asking for far too much?
i think so :angry:
-
I found out today that my iPhone 2G charges and plays though my Alpine 9880R, it's not meant to but it does.

Lucky stuff :smiley. Want to get a good iPod/iPhone head unit in the next couple of weeks 150 is the budget could be more. If anyone has any bright ideas of a good quality unit?

The 9880R has 3 preouts :) and CarAudioDirect is defo one of the best, bought all my stuff from them.

3 outputs mean that if you're connecting an amp and sub, there headunit has dedicated outputs on the back, one for the front speakers, one for the rear speakers and one for the subwoofer, usually meaning that adjusting speakers is much easier as most can be done from the headunit itself.
Very handy for the sub as you can easily up the bass on the go without having to adjust the amp.

As said, the 9880R will do this, but you'll need to buy another add on for the bluetooth, haven't used it myself as I don't have the add on though, but been told it's wicked.

No they can be powered by the HU but I would get an amp to power any new speakers you put in.

shady what do you think of the 9880r? im thinking of getting one because of the ipod features. is it easy to find what you want on the ipod etc?

Yeah man, I can't stress enough how good it is. 2 of my friends got as does someone I know from Taunton. Cracking piece of kit. In terms of the iPod usage, I have a 120GB Classic, and have 3000+ tracks on it, I can find what I want relatively quickly, if you know who you're looking for it's a piece of cake.
The other great thing is the 6 preset buttons under the display, act as "jump tos" so say you're looking for an artist, preset 1 takes you to around the E part of your artists, 2 would take you to H part of artists and so on and so on.
It's also rated as Full Speed so you pick a song, it literally comes on as soon as you press the button :)

Ive just ordered the alpine 104bti from car audio direct, got my £7 off postage! will let you know how i get on on friday when it arrives and i fit it

finally got my head unit fitted today. Brought the alpine 104bti and its amazing. so easy to set up and the inbuilt parrot is so easy to use. It was a little pricey at 189 but it really is amazing, if your an iphone user and want easy handsfree calling then get it!!
