MP3 PLAYER CONNECTION

[320CDI]

AFTER ABSOULTLY NO HELP FROM THIS FORUM I HAVE MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN A COMPANY WHO DEALS IN CONNECTION THROUGH THE CHANGER CONNECTION OF A PHONO PLUG SO YOU CAN CONNECT AN MP3 PLAYER OR SUCH LIKE

THE COST SEEMS HIGH FOR THE PARTS AT £56.75 INCLUDING VAT IN THE UK

I HAVE SAT NAV AND THE CABLE SHOULD BE IN NEXT WEEK.

IF ANYONE WANTS THE INFO ON WHERE I AM GETTING THIS FROM OR IF IT WORKS THEN POST HERE AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW.

P.S. MY CAR HAS THE COLOUR SAT NAV OPTION AND IS A 2004 UK MODEL.

Although in the US, I am VERY interested. Does it also allow for the control of the MP3 player from the wheel?

Im suprised no one on the board offered any help but a simple 2 second search on ebay will yield several results for mp3 i-bus interfaces. Blitzsafe makes them and so does soundgate, also icelink for i pod interfaces. Heres some links...

THANKS FOR THESE - LOOKING AT THE SITES THEY ARE ALL IN THE US - AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE UK MODELS ARE DIFFERENT

Hi,

I too am in the UK, and deparetly want to add my mp3 player to my 320I SE with SatNav.

Thanks for any help you can offer me and for your efforts to find this stuff out....

AS SOON AS IT COMES IN I WILL LET YOU KNOW THE DETAIL (AND OF COURSE IF IT WORKS)

[triggrhaapi]

yeah, and maybe you could type the reply in normal lower case letters....

[320CDI]

WHO WANTS TO BE NORMAL?

[Trigati]

Heh, I've been diggin around everywhere and I can't find anything so far so I will wait on you with baited breath....

Do you have the SATNav with the CD or the Tape behind?

Are you fitting this yourself?

My last car, a Honda Accord Type R I fitted many things myself (CD Changer/MP3 Player, DVD player [for the wife],240V adapter, etc) which I would like in my 320 but I'm a little scared to poke around...

Laters...

[320CDI]

Yes its the colour Sat Nav with the CD player.

I am going to fit myself (subject to how complicated it is!!)

HAPPY triggrhaapi???

[320CDI]

Just to keep you up to speed - went to the shop and the part has not arrived yet - maybe next week but if its not before Wed - I will be on hols for 2 weeks

I will let you know as soon as I have some more info and post some pics as well

Do you still have the OEM head unit? I would replace that which would solve this problem.

[320CDI]

at a cost of about £2500 I dont think thats such a good idea!!

I have the colour Sat Nav

[320CDI]

Ok - back from my hols today and the part was in - tool 15 mins to fit including lifting the centre arm rest etc to hide the wires - cost was £60.00 including a long cable to go from the cd changer cable to the front of the car.

The part was made by soundlinx and I bought it from Car Radio Servises in Perth (9 Crieff Road) - I don't have their number but I am sure you can get it from YELL!!

If you need any further info let me know
