Stream MP3 headunit + ipod

[VRSThunder]

Hi all,

I have recently picked up my Octavia VRS diesel and am in need of an ipod connection. I have looked all over and it would appear I dont have one!

Any info on the best aftermarket connection? I am not well up on ice tbh but I have the Stream MP3 headunit and a 6 CD stacker in the boot.

Mine is a 2007 octy II

Thanks

Do you not get the centre armrest in a VRS? If you do then that's where the AUX port is.

No mate mine doesnt have a centre armrest :(

One of the Dension products, either the gateway 100 or 300, would work fine with the Stream.

If you take the radio out you will the aux input on the back.

I connected a lead to that and fed it down to the ashtray

I've looked at the Denison site and maybe I'm a bit stupid but I couldn't figure which is the best solution to suit the Stream. I want to be able to select albums from the head unit.

If you just want to connect the ipod then the gateway 100 is fine. If you want to additionally attach a usb hard drive or usb key with music then the gateway 300 is needed.

Watch with dension 100/300's, if you have MaxiDot and want it to integrate with maxidot, then some people have had problems, which Dension

have yet to resolve.. My Gateway kit vanished months ago, never to return, but Dension are working on a fix, but no confirmed date has been

issued.

These days I just result to radio 2.............. :-(

Ben @ Shark Performance offers fitting for Dension products.. Anyone had a problem with an install from there?

I have a Dension Gateway 100 connected to my Stream and it doesn't work with my 3rd generation iPod Touch

It will work with my housemate's normal iPod but he has an obscure taste in music but it does control the ipod so you can feed the connector to the glovebox and leave the ipod in there. It will charge it when you are on the move.

Have you got Maxidot?

Slightly off topic but I have got a Parrot MKi9200 hands free telephone kit installed into my Octy II.

Part of the installation was leads into the glove box for USB and Ipod connections.

I know you weren't asking about a hands free kit but may be worth considering price wise as you can also load an SD card into the Parrot Unit and play your music directly from there as well?

Just a thought?
