ipod connectivity

[bigsteve]

Hi folks, I know there is a huge resource here on this brilliant forum, I have had a lot of help here and am grateful for it, so, I was wondering if anyone had found a real solution to being able to connect an ipod/phone to the cars' audio system, I have an '05 1.9 cdti vectra club with NO apparent means of connecting my ipod! The head unit is a CD30, is there a way please?

I use the IO Play which works perfectly with my Iphone, but also my daughters Ipod Nano.

It connects via bluetooth and also doubles up as a hands free kit

So do you need a bluetooth adapter for the ipod?

The Parrot MKi 9200 is a more comprehensive solution - the screen shows album art, telephone book, with pictures if saved, and the ipod is connected via a wired plug which also charges it (it will also take sd card and usb stick music, and bluetooth music from an iphone)

The bluetooth adapter comes with the kit and is completely wireless, it takes it power from the ipod and transmits via bluetooth.

Not heard of that, but I'm in same boat and recently saw a for sale thread on a gadget that tranmits the Ipod musiic through an FM transmitter that can be tuned into the CD30 radio like a radio stati.
Here's an ebay link:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Thanks guys, looks like the 'IO' might be the way to go, shame, cos I recently fitted a nokia ck7 car kit!
