Been looking for a new car for a while for partner, although I will mainly drive it (currently driving saab 9000 aero 23mpg) I was blown away by the vrs - it really is an amazing car. Paid dep yesterday, picking her up start of sept. Paid

I'm not very technical, but you could try one of the other parts of the forum, there's a techie section and one about in car entertainment too. Anyway, congrats on getting the VRS!

Through the standard stereo you wont be getting that good sound quality with an I-pod adaptor, if they even exist to fit this stereo!

You're best getting a package which includes a headunit and the i-pod adaptor to match. I fitted a Kenwood package to a Ford Ka the other day, like this one

It worked fine and made the two speakers in the Ka sound good! She's pleased with it anyway.
