Ipod interface for VDO headunits

CDTi · 9th May 2007, 17:43

Came across this handy Ipod interface for VDO HU fitted to our cars:

Buy it here:

The ID3 tags are displayed on the HU screen and the HU buttons control the Ipod - so I assume that the steering controls will also have Ipod control.

I was going to change the HU for a USB/SD unit but this may be a better option.

If only I had an Ipod....

It appears to be working now Andy, give it another try.
Price is £38.

Why does everybody do Ipod stuff? All I want is an interface for MP3 or USB for my Dayton...then I can plug in any old ru....er...mp3 player..

Have you looked at something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Signal-input-A...QQcmdZViewItem

What I'm after is some kind of USB type adaptor that will send the ID3 tags to the HU. I've nothing against Ipods but a USB type device would obviously allow much more flexibility.
