Mr Sam Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 quick amature question im currently using a tape deck with one of them tapes you can plug the ipod in if you know what i mean if i buy a CD player with a USB port i can just plug the ipods lead straight to that cant i??
vibrating_Cake Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 no its got to be ipod compatible spacifically can run any other mp3 player off that though, that stores things as MP3's not stupid ipod format
Mr Sam Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Posted July 25, 2009 cheers so its got to be one thats labled 'made for ipod' im just fed up of the tape deck and 2 speakers that only play vocals
Savvi Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Most of the usb type will play but you need a dedicated ipod connecting to control the ipod. I recommend the Alpine units as they work as a cd changer controlled from the head unit. You can run the lead else where such as the glovebox so the ipod is hidden away. This is a good one for not too much money all the ipod leads are included http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine- ... k8f67cb031
Mr Sam Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Posted July 25, 2009 here was me wanting to speand about £50 i like the idea of that though having the ipod hidden away other option the ones with ISO connection i can just get an ISO lead and play it like i would just plugging the tape thing in? or is quality not as good like that
Savvi Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 There's plenty of ways connecting to play Audio only, however you can change and control the ipod on these type of unit which in my opinion is better whilst driving and you want to change tracks etc.
Mr Sam Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Posted July 25, 2009 yeah i really like the idea of that but its alot of money for something thats going to be very nickable in a mk1 fiesta, its very tempting though!!
Savvi Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 I keep looking for some covers like retroglam has. I think they would be a good seller if someone can supply them, at 1st glance they look very real and suit our type of car for shows etc, i used to sell them years ago but don't remember where they came. Only my opinion but i would spend the extra money and buy this type otherwise you also have the ipod or wires showing which they would break in for anyway !!! I can always fit an alarm for you
Mr Sam Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Posted July 25, 2009 well i speant a bit extra and got a wharfdale thingy ma bob thats ipod useable....but the wires come out the front of it only puts out 20watts but someone offered me some goodies the other day cheap hence the need for an up to date head unit in the first place
Admin Vista Posted July 25, 2009 Admin Report Posted July 25, 2009 What was wrong with the cassette adaptor?
Smudger105e Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 What was wrong with the cassette adaptor? Probably 4 watts a channel was wrong with it Youngsters eh? lmao
Admin Vista Posted July 25, 2009 Admin Report Posted July 25, 2009 What was wrong with the cassette adaptor? Probably 4 watts a channel was wrong with it Youngsters eh? lmao Works fine in mine and transmits to the speakers with the full capacity of the head unit
Savvi Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 I've searched and found a couple of "fake" radio fronts the same as Retro's if anyones interested from one of my suppliers their coming back to me with a price Sam glad you found something but with the plug on the front you will have cables and the ipod rattling around the gearstick
Copey Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 i would like one as long as they aint silly money, dare say a mate of mine would too also a pic would be nice
Savvi Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Once i have a confirmed price i will start a new for sale post, but i'm told they should be around a fiver + postage. I'm hoping they get get a plentiful supply as he only has 2 at present and i want one of them !!!
Mr Sam Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Posted July 26, 2009 stick me down for one if he can get more
Savvi Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 No probs Sam. He's sending me the suppliers number so i will see how many i can get Sent me this pic today :
