gamma input leads
« on: 07 January 2010, 21:43 »
many many years since i messed about with gamma head units, but just got golf turbo and wanna bung me ipod through the input leads rather than a fm / wanky tape adapter, wanna keep gamma as not fussed on sounds just need some tunes for when radio crap is there now a lead you can connect ipod to gamma or will i have to sort something else out??


cheers

Don't know much about ipods, but you can use the aux that usually goes to the multichanger to have a USB input.. i think that works with ipods? About 50 sheets from ebay

For that price i'd bung in an aftermarket H/U with full iPod control, sell the Gamma for £25 or so meaning new h/u costs you the princely sum of £25  :smiley:

there are leads and stuff available but it won't give you full iPod control and works much like the multi CD changer meaning you can only scroll through 6 playlists  :sad:

Up to you how bothered you'll be by that though  :smiley:

Dunno if thats any use about adding additional sources on to the standard head unit?

Remember reading a bit when I changed mine to an aftermarket one last week.
