Ipod connection problems solved

[Chippenham_Cup]

Have just bought an adaptor that allows you to connect any mp3/ minidisc/CD player to the standard Renault head unit. It plugs into the autochanger socket in the back of the stereo. And connects to the headphone jack on the player. Not fitted it yet but hoping it will be good. Cost £55 sounds expensive, but much cheaper than buying a new ipod compatible unit. Check out http://www.connects2.comwww.connects2.com it is an AUX in adaptor.

This cannot be used in addition to a multichanger - it replaces it.

Fitted it at the weekend, very happy with it . As expected, it tricks the head unit into thinking there ia a multichanger connected so sound quality is as good as it gets from MP3 or Somy Atrac in my case. The 3.5mm jack to RCA leads is not included.

Fitting is simple, pulled out the head unit, drilled a hole in the side of the glovebox to pass the wire through to it. Then taped the silver box to the inside of the glovebox with some heavy duty doublesided tape. Plugged in the connectors and then pushed the head unit back in. the lead to the ipod can either go out of the hole in the back of the glovebox or trapped between the glovebox lid and the dash.
