Connecting an iPod to a 307 car radio

Hi All,

I recently purchased an iPod and want to be able to use it in the car and
play my mp3s thru the car stereo.

Does anyone out there have experience of connecting an iPod in this way?
I've scanned the web for cable adaptors for the radio and haven't managed to
find anything for Peugeots. All I am after is a means of using the any aux
in or line in connector that may be available on the back of my radio.

I'm not afraid of using a soldering iron and making up my own cables etc. so
any information would be most welcome.

Thanks.

 

Hi,

Have a search for itrip on google or ebay. It is a device that transmits
the music
from your ipod on FM frequency to be received by your car radio without
any leads or modifications.

Hope this helps.

David, I have just bought a 307 and purchased an icelink from
http://www.ghc.co.uk/acatalog/ICE_Link_Car_Connectors_for_iPod.html
This connects to the CD Changer input on ths back of the Peugeout head
unit and emulates a CD changer. The stalk controller can be used to FF,
Skip and control the volume.You can choose connections for all generatinos
of iPod and it also charges the iPod as well. Talk to a guy called Adrian
at Gordon Harwood Computers and he will advise you what you need, he is
really helpful. This is a great solution as you can keep your original
head unit and far superior to the iTrip FM transmitter as you have a
direct connection (it is also illegal to use an iTrip in this country)

 

It is illegal in the UK.

 

Hi Jon,

Thanks for this. It is exactly what I want. A bit pricey though! I've just
come back from the States where I bought my 4G 40Gbyte iPod for £230 and ICE
Link want £130 to fit it in the car :-(

If I cannot find anything else I'll have to go for it though, as listening
to my 192Kbit rips over the FM radio is not quite the audio quality I'm
looking for...

Thanks.

 

Thanks I've seen this, but I like my music to sound crisp and clear. My
experiences of the iTrip is that it is acceptable audio quality, but not up
to the standard I want to hear.

 

Hi,

Indeed ? Still, the emission power of the emitter is only of some hundreds
of mW, sure it's not something which jams other "regular" radios (by
"regular radios", I think of real radio stations, like the BBC or whatever).
By reading this, I suppose it's required to get a licence to use a radio
emitter - OK, a bit off topic here, but I'm curious), am I right in
supposing this ?

 

David,
the icelink may seem expensive, but the alternative is to buy a new head
unit with an Aux in £???, then you will need a wiring harness for the
steering wheel stalk which is about £40. There is no need to have the
icelink fitted by a professional, it is a ten minute job that you can do
yourself. It is also a very neat solution that gives good quality sound.

 

The iTrip is capable of jamming "real" radio stations for about 10 - 20
metres. I was using one in the states last year. The signal from the iTrip
was available inside the house where I was staying as well as in the car,
knocking out the "real" station that was broadcasting on that frequency.

 

Jon,

I think you are right. I have spent a few nights researching on the Net for
alternatives an I have also called a couple of "specialist" in car audio
companies. No one can recommend any alternative :-(

I have also found this: http://www.ipod2car.com/

Is this the same as the Ice>Link or are they different products? It seems
very hard to tell from their website and I am still awaiting a reply from an
email I sent them.

 

Dave
It's not the same product and according to the specs is not compatible
with a Peugeot!

 

Hi,

10 to 20 metres is far above what I've imagined for such devices. Something
to piss off all drivers around you in a huge traffic jam

I also supposed the frequency setup had to be careful, to avoid that - not
really easy on a trip, IMHO.

 

Have a look at

Does anybody know any way to connect iPOD to Peugeot 607 (Clarion rm2
radio-casetteplayer plus JBL sound system with CD changer in the boot)? As
much as I can see Dension ice wiring exists for any peugeot but 607 model.
Any idea, help, link, anything???

Thanks

 

A Cassete adapter wil be the cheapest method, but not the prettiest!

If you have a CD changer then look at the previous posting RE the
