I've just got myself a nice Syphony CD H/U from a helpfull forum member and I'd like to add an I-Pod connection to it.

I've seen the usual Connects2 leads, which connect via the CD changer plug in the back of the H/U.

Then I found one of these -

It looks like these units (not sure which of the top 2 I'd need?) let you keep the CD changer, which would be a bonus.

It's £25 more than the Connects2 but it'd be worth it if I could keep the changer in the boot.

Has anyone used one? If so, what's it like?

No, but this might help ?

I've got my eye on one of these too.

I have fitted one to our Mk5 Golf (just the basic iPod kit, not the USB/SD card compatible one) and it performs faultlessly - you do need to arrange your music into just 6 playlists then the whole iPod can be listened to, the xcarlink will also charge the iPod at the same time.

Would i buy another? yes but i would get the USB/SD card one to make it a bit more futureproof, however i bought mine from an eBay shop for less than £50 delivered (IIRC it was around £45?) so i am not complaining.

Brilliant mate thanks, pretty interested in one of these now.

Just got to make sure I get the right one!

got one of these for xmas but gonna fit it to me mfd sat nav unit.....

got the 8 pin one with the bluetooth gonna have a go at it 2mora

This is the one I have:

Belived or not, once you have your ipod conected, you will not use your CD changer.
