Cheapest way to connect Iphone to car stereo?
« on: October 22, 2012, 10:27:59 pm »
Hi folks, can anyone advise the most cost effective way to connect the two without upgrading my stereo? I have a 6 cd changed unit. I have tried the FM transmitter but there is always a lot of interference. Any alternatives? Cheers for any help.

Hi I wanted to ask about the c2 kit you mentioned- someone has said that if you use this kit you have to disconnect the multichanger CD, is this true? Thanks.

Can you fit a conect2 to the system if you don't have a CD changer?

Yes, Connect2 will go in place of the quad lock port where a CD changer would normally go.

All RCDs have this port, and it's either unused, or used by a CD Changer or AUX/USB MDI kit.
