Ipod

Hi, got a JVC cd player with no aux and no usb but it is linked to me amp and sub...was wondering can I add my itouch onto it acting as a hard drive? Seen loads of pics in mk4 section of headunits and wondered if I can do it and how???

if you wire it straight into your amp and use a audio switch you can run it through your amp and whatever speakers are connected to that eg 6x9's and sub OR get one of them FM connectors for the ipods and run it through a radio connection any decent ipod online store will have them.

the only way to do it is with an fm modulator which is pointless in my opinion you have a good quality digital source and you then convert it to an analogue fm signal therefore losing quality and they generally sound crap
just save up and get another h/u with an aux in or ipod control

that will work but will only give audio no control
you can buy a kenwood kca-ip500 ipod adapter it will charge it and you will be able to select folders and tracks but it will not display the album/artist names etc

Long as I turn volume up on itouch and then I can control it on the stereo for volume? It wont sound crap will it? Want it like CD quality?

[troublestarter]

if you get the kenwood ipod adapter it will be perfect sound quality
and having this unit means you do not need to have the ipod to hand
using a modulator will always sound crap

I ordered the cable now and which was only 6pound so no really a major crisis if it sounds rubbish-ish....how much is the adapter? Just fed up of cd's and need a hard drive instead in the car but people say I may as well get a different set up if I would go down that route?

See how you get on with the cable you bought and if you find it to be too annoying having to grab you itouch all the time then upgrade. Simples

put the cable in and guess what NO SOUND! what has gone wrong?
