nurrish Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Does the factory head unit have an input for an external cd changer?? The one that already has the cd 6 changer built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so mate, as its integral already! There's avenues you can go down to get ipod compatibility, but other than that you are into new head unit territory.

nurrish Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 yeah that's what I'm after but the adapter says it plugs into the cd changer port which enables the iPod intergration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Do you have an import? it appears the US cars do have a external plug on the bose systems. http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/IPod_with_350Z_Bose_Sound_System Not sure about uk cars, as we don't have things like satellite radio as an option.

AK350Z Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 It's all in the search baby! http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11847&highlight=pa11nis Not much good news though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 OK i have found a solution for any body who is interested http://www.ipodcarkitdirect.co.uk/iPod_Car_Kit/Universal_FM_Modulator/Dension_ice%3ELink_FM_Modulator Apparently this is supposed to work pretty well and is the only real viable option to get an auxiliary input to our factory bose head units. Maybe this could go into a sticky to help people like me looking to get an auxiliary input from an external source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 That's the same as just about every other FM transmitter though. I'm using a Monster one on my iPhone and it's about as good as any I've seen/tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well not really seeing as in wires directly into the head unit and is tuned on dedicated unused frequency's. But that one your using seems pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well not really seeing as in wires directly into the head unit and is tuned on dedicated unused frequency's. It's not wired in directly though, it just intercepts the incoming radio signal and passes that through whilst broadcasting it's own signal. Granted, it's a bit neater than the one I'm using as you can tuck it away somewhere but it's also 100 times more fiddly to install in the first place (not saying it's a hard job though). I don't think there is a perfect solution for anyone with a UK car, only some that are better than others. In all fairness I took a gamble on that Monster one, but the ability to tune your own frequencies in was a godsend when travelling to Le Mans this year. It seems that Essex and France appear to have very different frequencies used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
