Anyone using Ipod in car?

[Ekardo]

any models to intro? is it true as long as have Aux in, it will support Ipod ?

 

I am asked to top up $80 from sony MP3 CD player (single din) to the Alpine double din cd player with so called Ipod support.

 

what's the advantage of single din or double din ?

bro, as long as the HU's got the AUX output, it can support the iPod, be it single or double-din. I think MAYBE your installer is trying to you... go seek 2nd, 3rd opinions, all the way until you're satisfied bro.. homework, leg work very very important..

Im using clarion single din player.I bought the clarion ipod connection costing like $180.

 

Im not sure normal aux can work or not,coz connection like diff....if normal mp3 player..i see my frds juz use the aux cable..

Go for HU with full iPod support, not those with Aux in.

 

Alpine is good, like the 9887 with iPod fullspeed support. This means you can control the ipod from the HU, like searching for your playlist, albums etc.

 

Notice the iPod in the glovebox, and the HU displaying song from iPod:

any HU model can play ipod music.. just get a fm radio transmitter. i use the griffin itrip and it works quite well most of the time (i'm no audiophile lah..)

[Vblaster_w211]

That'll just be FM quality

 

iPod Fullspeed > Aux in > FM

how much did you pay for this alpine 9887?

 

how did you connect to Ipod?

via the USB cable?

I'm using one Alpime W200(old model)

D.Din come with ipok adapter...hook thru my ipok touch inside glove compartment collect dust.

 

Good thing abt it is the touch screen interface.

there's no difference in audio quality from single din and double din.if single din,you will get a small space under ur HU for your small stuffs.just like a 'pocket' compartment.if you use double din,there will not be a 'pocket' space under it as it will take up the whole space.

 

as for ipod use,you can use the ipod adapter,fm transmitter or just use AUX cable.AUX cable can be used as long ur HU has AUX in input.what you use to connect ur ipod to ur HU depends on ur budget.cheapest is of course by using AUX cable.

'sony MP3 CD player (single din).. My car come with stock sony mp3 cd player ( double in ).. with AUX in..

 

Dealer told me can connect ipod , can play music but the player cannot turn turn the music

 

since i am using iphone , i just dock it up and touch it

 

Maybe u can ask ur dealer for more info?

where can i buy the aux in cable and roughly wads the cost?

[Wolfverine]

U can try the Pioneer 4050 double din HU - it comes with ipod cable etc. Local set is abt $1k and export set is abt $650.

 

Alt, u can get the double din JVC HUs. Good thing abt JVC is that the bluetooth adaptor for phone (if u intend to get one) is a lot more reasonable compared to Pioneer & Alpine.

I am currently using the Harmon/Kardon for my car.

 

 

 

I got this 2 years back and all in all, costs S$500.00 including installation. The HU must have an Aux out in order for the iPOD player to work.

 

The knob functions just like an iPOD so you can view just like an iPOD.

[Ryanyusoff]

any audio shop or those hardware shop selling cables & stuffs.roughly costs around $4+ - $6+. depends on the length that you buy.

even some IT shops got sell like challenger,etc..

[Sony]

Your HK will look very expensive if I tell you how much I got mine for

 

 

anyway, ver2 is much better according to one of my friend whom did a upgrade

[Sony]

when you get a HU that support Ipod, make sure you check which version of Ipod it will support as well.

[Sony]

sound quality will be bad and subjected to disturbance..
