ipod retro fit
« on: 07 May 2007, 08:14 »
i want the ipod connection for the armrest, is it just a case of swaping the tray in my armrest for the ipod tray? are the wires already under the armrest to couple up to the ipod or do i need to run a cable from the head unit to the armrest?

Straight swap if you have the 6CD player in the armrest, but cabling should be present

Or get an ITRIP, thats what I use in mine with my NANO.  Downside is you cant control the thing through the stereo but its a cheap option
