iPod dock in armrest advice

[crashdesk]

I have this in my armrest and assume it's for an ipod nano.

Has anyone here got a similar one? I don't have an ipod nano and don't kno which version of the nano will fit. I would really like to use my iphone as I don't want to buy another bit of tech but if there I find a nano cheap enough with enough memory to hold most of my tunes it would be handy. I could just leave it in there all the time.

Also, when it is connect can I control it through the standard GTI stereo?

Thanks for any advice or tips.

Best,

I've got this and run my 4th gen nano through it. It will run any ipod iirc, the iPhone is a tight fit and I think you might get interference aswell (from it finding signal) which is why i don't use my iphone.

It works as the 6 cd changer, press cd twice to get the six "discs" showing. It then will have the 1st five playlists from your ipod loaded as disc 1 - 5 and then the 6th disc is 99 random songs from your ipod. Also it will only play 99 songs from each playlist it has loaded on discs 1 - 5 as this is the limit.

Hope this helps

If I were you I'd look for a slightly older ipod as apple changed the way the newer ipods charge (swapped to or from firewire pin to something else) and as a result the newer ipods will work but won't charge via the dock.  A minor nuisance and there are convertors on ebay.

Yeah, definitely no way iphone will fit :-(

Will look for an older gen nano. Will check around at my work to see if someone owns one.

Thanks!
