Ipod adapter but not with an ipod
« on: 29 May 2006, 20:30 »
hello

I got the Sony NW-A3000 and i know VW cater for ipod peeps.  But is there any way to link non ipods to the stereo.  Is there an aux input on the stereo or one on the changer, im have the 6cd thing that i can use?  Didnt want to pull things apart unless i have to.

I know the ipod charges while driving but im not fussed at that im getting nearly the acclaimed 40 hrs on me A3000 :D

Any advice or pics would be useful.

a headunit wth CD changer facility, you can buy cables that will play and or charge via that input, but you can't run the changer and teh cable at the same time! starting from £30+

You could go for an RF Modulator.

You plug it into your mp3 and power then tune to a certain frequency on your set and bobs your uncle!

Quality not as good but good if you know what I mean...

try this....

have a look at www.connects2.com - they do ipod solutions such as:
1) auxiliary adapter
2) propoer connects so you contorl through radio etc (will also charge ipod)
3) fm connection - actually wired so you tune to a freq but dont get any interference
