Ipod Integration

[Begbie]

Now my little sis has a new Suzuki Swift and I have been asked to get her Ipod working with it.

Now I have had a look around for the best way to do it. It has to look good (of course).

I have seen this;

But there is no way I am paying £170 for a ipod adapter!

Any suggestions?

Are we after iPod integration or iPhone integration?

If it is actually iPod (and iPhone if you aren't bothered about it routing calls OR charging the phone), then IMO there is nothing better suited to a stock headunit in most cars than the Harmon Kardon Drive and Play

Are they of good quality?

I beleive the car has a multi disc input, but means tricking the headunit to thinking the ipod is a multi changer. Which is why its so expensive. So FM seems to be the way forward.

Thanks for that, pretty sure I will go this route. Connecting via T terminal seems the best option. Though my sister won't notice the sound difference between wireless FM or not.

Bringing this back up again, as I thought she just had an ipod. Turns out she has a Iphone, how difficult is it to get Iphone integration, I.E hands free?

In which case, try http://connectmycar.com/io-play-including-installation-and-free-delivery.html

Meh, she doesn't need to make phone calls!

The other kit you have posted, will it charge the iPhone?

Sorry for all the questions, she has a new car and I don't want it looking tacky or breaking in a months time.

Thanks, will have a look.
