I have just taken the VW ipod lead out and put in a Hardon Kardon ipod controller with a connect2 adaptor and my first impressions are that it is a million times better, there is no delay in changing track and you control it just like an ipod.

And there only £30 on ebay at the moment including the carriage.

The only thing i have noticed is that it doesnt switch the ipod off like the VW one did.

eagerly reading this, the HK unit looks good.
I see theres a HK version 2 that has remote and colour screen.
Anyone on here used this? Not sure its even available in UK + some not so good reviews in US sites.

Still searching for a good ipod/bluetooth/phone solution tbh

Anyone got the dimensions of the harman screen? I had an idea if it will fit in the glasses case area on the room in a custom build as i know you can fit a din sized faceplate in there so its down to the height of it,

Hi all,

i am new here, the 4th one should be the one i need right? http://www.nexxia.co.uk/iPod_MP3_Adaptors/vw.htm

also is there any place that will do it cheaper or the price listed is reasonable?

i just imported my gti from japan to nz... would need a fm expander later on as well. :)
