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.

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.
