Hey - I have a '55 Fabia Sport and want to play my Ipod Nano through the car head unit. I don't fancy a FM Trans because I don't know where to start - being a girly whirly and all... Hee hee!

SO, anyone got any ideas?

I read something about checking to see if I could get a lead to attach to the back of the unit to play it?

This may as well be in Chinese though as I don't get it? HELP!!!!!

Connects2 interface!

Or you could get a stereo like mine!!

just get them tape playing interface gizmos.. 1 pound on ebay

get a headunit with a AUX port in the front, then you can plug it straight in just like mine!

i dont know if you know what an aux port is? but looks just like the hole in your ipod where you plug the headphones. you just get an aux cable which has the headphone jack at each end and job done!

My stereo has an aux as well, comes out the back though. The ipod lead with my Alpine is great. You just plug the ipod in, stash it in the glovebox and control it through the stereo. I used to have an aux in the front but i got tired of the cables going everyewhere.

I hate my connects 2!!!! its friggin annoying...all I get is a high pitched wine when my car revs and its really annoying thinking my hearings gone. the 1st one i bought had broke in 3 days!

anyone else had this problem? :(

New headunit with an aux in is definately the way forward. Get an fm transmitter in the meantime if you need to save, keep the box and return it when you get your headunit. Worked for me.

The fabia headunit has a connection to allow you to fit a CD multi-changer. There's a lead you can fit that connects to this connection and rather than going to a multi-changer, goes to a ipod headphone socket.

I popped one in the missus' fabia, and modified the lead to have a headphone socket on rather than a plug. I drilled one of the switch blanks above the radio and stuck it through there, so her ipod could sit on the little shelf and be connected up using a short lead.

Sounds like a similar set up to my Kenwood HU.

CD changer socket filled with a headphone cable, run down behind the heater controls and out into the cubby hole in front of the ash tray in front of the gear stick in the centre console..

now simply plug ipod in , turn HU to Aux in, listen to ipod

I have a Sony Xplod H/Unit.

It has a usb socket on the front.

I use a retractable short usb lead and my tiny

little Sony MP3 player which is compatible with the head unit.

I control the MP3 player from the main switch panel of the Xplod

and it's powered by the Xplod too, There is maybe an inch and a half of visible

cable if that... The Mp3 goes in my under stereo storage draw.
