lylesy Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Having what I hear is a common prob with my stereo. The music keeps sticking if I try and play CDs. The car is a 06 facelift with Bose sat nav and bluetooth phone. Is the prob just with the headunit? So if I replace just that will it b ok? I dnt want 2 loose the bluetooth or sat nav will all this still work properly with a different head unit. Links between all these systems is giving me a headache. Also I dnt have many CDs have a connection for my iPhone in the other car if I could have the same in the z would b great any suggestions for headunits and anything else will b really helpful. Thanks guys I dnt have a clue what 2 do. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 the whole lot is integrated, if you bin the bose, you'll lose sound to the nav. speak to R35LEE, he used to repair the Bose units. Quote
Zugara Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Either, Slap the knee pad on the passenger side of the centre consol. or Do the iPod hack, which is quite easy to do and costs a lot less than a new HU Quote
scubapics Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 The repaired unit also fail after a while so not worth the bother. Better option is to perform the ipod/iphone/mp3 hack and use one of those devices instead of antiquated compact discs. It does involve removing the unit, opening it up, and a little bit of soldering but the results are more than worth it. Quote
Zugara Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 there you go.... viewtopic.php?f=35&t=47176&hilit=ipod+hack Quote
lylesy Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 So I can add an iPod conection 2 the original head unit and just dnt use the cd? Does this then mean u can't use the tape player and the iPod comes on when u hit the tape button or have I got it wrong? Also with the sat nav I dnt have the cubbyhole hole were can I bring the cable out? Quote
scubapics Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 You understand correctly. You lose the tape functionality. It is reversible though. I brought the cable out at the right hand corner of the dash to use with an iphone/tomtom windscreen mount. You could bring it out into the central glove box between the seats if you wish. Quote
lylesy Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 Great thanks guys. Is there anywhere that can do this for me and if so how much souls I expect 2 pay? If not what bits do I need? And is the job easy? I have some experience with wiring but not much. Quote
Lexx Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 The link that Zugara posted up there ^^^ answers all those questions you just asked Quote

lylesy Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 Kl sounds gd. Does the search buttons work on the headunit and steering wheel or do I need 2 do it on my iPhone? Oh and does it work with iPhone? Quote
Zugara Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Kl sounds gd. Does the search buttons work on the headunit and steering wheel or do I need 2 do it on my iPhone? Oh and does it work with iPhone? works with any device that has a 3.5mm jack plug, so yes it works with an iPhone. Quote
