General: 70: - iPod Connection?

routledgepaul · Jun 19th, 2009, 11:10

Got V70 2.5 SE with original radio/cd, and want to connect iPod.

Can it be connected via input such as the cd changer input?

Please Help!!!

You can get a BLITZSAFE aux in adapter from the usa which will connect into the cd changer socket. I fitted one last week. Took about 3 weeks to get via nice people at customs & excise. Cost £16 for customs and handling and about £59 (depending on exchange from Fleabay. Top quality sound and volume which really makes a difference to the head unit sound over the rubbish i trip fm thingy I was using before.
Cant control the ipod from the head unit, but I got I pod touch in phone holder on dash so easy to use from driving position.

If anyone would care to explain how to.... I will post photos of it!!

I asked a similar question some weeks ago and this SC Interface was posted up. I haven't bought one yet but it certainly appears to be the correct type of thing.

I upload jpg images to ImageShack which is one of the free online picture host services, click Here

Once you have the picture uploaded you get this screen:

click the mouse to highlight the text block I have highlighted and press CTL+C to copy this text to the PC clipboard, now switch back to the forum and press CTL+V to paste the text into your post, when you have finished adding all the other text use the "Preview" button to make sure its all OK then hit Submit.

The actual text looks like this:

However to get it to display the text I deliberatly swapped the brackets from [ to { so you can see what the actual code looks like, if you simply copy/ paste from ImageShack the picture will work, don't post huge pictures though as it can mess up the appearance of the thread, I tend to stick to 1024 pixels as a maximum - Mike

I ordered one of those first, but after waiting 4 weeks with no communication from them, I cancelled the order. I was told by another supplier that the product was discontinued.
