UPDATE - please re-read below

There are 3 units, two for IPOD (bluetooth and non bluetooth) and one for MP3 and USB. The simply plug into the CD changer port on the back of the stereo which is currently empty as we all have 6 changers in dash. The unit gives excellent sound quality and the ability to use MOST existing controls on the head unit and steering wheel

I could be interested in the iPod one. Subscribed to thread

[duglet]

Im rather interesed in the Ipod/Iphone one too.

Will subscribe to thread for more details.

Happy Motoring

Im interested in the Ipod one

[tigamica350]

I wonder if the connector will fit with the Ipod/Iphone car kit i have just put in my MPS3, maybe it will make it even better; be good to use the controls.

For anyone who is interested i used the Iphone kit from (Carcomm).

I installed this using a angled dashmount from "Hold my Phone". Now it looks pretty good and allows me to talk hands free and hear the convo over the stereo (although only through the fronts) and charges the phone as well, looks kind of factory, well almost i imagine.

I used a Iphone adapter from (DVD-R, DVD R Media, DVD Cases, Flash Memory, Ink Toner Cartridges, Hardware, Electronics, Home & Décor, Accessories & More) which i modified and extended the microphone to a more useable position near my drivers side airbag.
I then connnected the lot to the aux connector under the center console. (Ater routing it all so that the majority of the wiring is hidden).

The next thing i will do is put a fuse in and hardwire it. If anyone is interested i will try to take some photos and post them up and maybe someone can improve on it. As it is i am pretty happy with it.


Sorry if this in the wrong place or if i have hijacked the thread.

You scurvy pirate! Joking - good to hear what else is out there.

[Rooballer]

I have been looking at these, would be interested in the USB model

[EQ]

Looks like these are getting cheaper through volume postal discounts. One more into Brisbane and they are 88USD if you pick them up from me!

[shakespeare]

For those interested, I got the iPod one Mazda were selling and was fitted when I bought my 6, cost me about $300, so this is a bargain. The only difference is the unit I have will cycle through all my playlists, but this can be a pain sometimes especially if you have loads of playlists. However mine disables the iPod so you can only use the stereo controls but the connector is in the glove box so even if I wanted to play with my iPod whilst it was connected I couldn't reach it while driving. Though I thoroughly recommend having this if you have an iPod/MP3 player

One minor issue I need to attend to:

IF my supplier will accept individual payments we are laughing and cost remains as above.

If they want a bulk payment we may run into a small issue...GST...my purchases will be made through my business, if my company buys them I need to ass GST when I "sell them" to you guys.

If the bulk payment was required, is there anyone out there who could fund it? Big ask I know and lets hope it doesnt come to it!

[sydneysteve]

sorry, im keen for the ipod version.
thanks

[EQ]

OK, its seems that I am going to have to foot the bill which is cool with me, it does however add 10% GST to the deal.

I'll finalise the costs based on all the items being sent to me in Brisvegas and any locals can pick up from me, otherwise its another $12 +/_ to post them interstate.

sooo....

$88USD to brisbane
= $125.86 at todays rate of 0.69
+ GST = 138.50

+ $12 to sydney etc = $150AU to your door.

Can everyone let me know if they are still keen....

[armthehomeless]

Put me down as confirmed for pick up in Bris

Well done again, EQ. Top job!

[armthehomeless]

Question: is this an option?? I found it on the RPM store:

Optional Bluetooth handsfree kit (compatible with any Bluetooth mobile phone; outputs phone call through speakers when AudioLink/XCarLink is in use)

[tricache]

Question: is this an option?? I found it on the RPM store:

+1!! Bluetooth would be hot!!

[EQ]

Very little details anywhere on this, but from what i can see it would plug into the 3mm stereo in aux on the xcarlink/audiolonk. Good idea, but will only work when the headunit is switched to AUX, ie it wouldnt work when listening to a CD or radio...

A simple bluetooth handfree kit with 3mm stereo output would so the same thing

[armthehomeless]

Righto. Just thought it might be worth checking out if it was any good.

I'm still in for the iPod one though.

[Rooballer]

You can lock me in for the USB one.

Pick up in Brisbane...

[sydneysteve]

ill take an ipod one, delivered to sydney.
