Best solution for iPod?

[danverbiest]

Hi guys

Done some reasearch and trying to settle on the best solution for playing my iPod through my stereo.

Would it be getting a Denison/ICE kit for my standard boost CD stereo OR getting a new stereo with and stream music over bluetooth OR getting a new stereo with iPod connnection?

Which would be easier to fit? Which has better sound quality?

Thanks

I had the same dilema.

I opted for the Parrot 9200 and I must say its amazing. I am not over keen on using bluetooth for audio I feel the quality drops off. the parrot takes Ipod and USB and SD and comes with steering wheel control. Sound is amazing and its a really nice hands free kit!

Hope this is of use

Why not just spend £40 and get an FM tuner for the iPod which transmits your iPod music at a set Fm frequency which you just set one of your preset radio stations to.

Because the sound quality is horrible.

Do you have NAV? If you do, Intravee is the way to go. I you don't, then Dension will get you the best sound quality.

Indeed the sound is rubbish! I forgot to put I was using an FM transmitter already.

I went for a new head unit in the end. I bought a Kenwood and it works and sounds flawlessly but thanks for your replies.

Do the new build Minis come with ipod adapter as standard? I couldn't find an option on the website when doing a new build?
