Rakey, Did you fit your own? If you did how easy is it to install is it just a single lead and one or two screws!! or is it a bit of a pain in the ass to install?

there is a help guide on Mikeys website, an article in the last issue of GoMINI too, a few phone calls had to be made to Mikey too (only because I forgot to disconnect the CD changer

), but since then I have fitted it, taken it out (for warranty work on stereo just to be safe

) and fitted it again.

its about 40 minutes to fit, something that I think most people can do and if you do it yourself it makes you feel even more happy with it

Jonnyspin · Aug 13th, 2004, 10:43 AM

Any pictures?

And is is transferable to the next Mini I buy?

Thx

very transferable between cars, as long as the stereo fitting don't change in time

the only pic I have is from my first install, but since this was taken I have since swapped the Pod to the left pillar and phone to the right, will get a newer one up as soon as possible for you.

UKC4 · Aug 15th, 2004, 10:13 PM

Umm this looks a bit diapointing, hardly anybody seems to want an Icelink....

Is it because of the weekend and the goodish weather or wat?

Ohh well work in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!! NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Jonnyspin · Aug 16th, 2004, 09:31 AM

put me down as a maybe and keep me "in the loop" please

Mini_Blake · Aug 16th, 2004, 04:09 PM

I may be interested in one. Have to check my funds to see whether I can afford the ipod firstly though !

is there a deadline for this ?

Rakey · Aug 16th, 2004, 08:05 PM

3rd generation Ipods are reduced at the moment to really good prices on Amazon

Just remember those with CD changer to take out can sell this to cover the cost of the link kit

Mini_Blake · Aug 16th, 2004, 09:53 PM

My dad lives in the states so getting one brought back wont be a problem. £215 for a 40 gig 4th gen...

ipod mini works out at roughly £40 cheaper than here also. Low on funds at the moment due to lots of partying, must have had a fortnight long birthday this year

truane · Aug 17th, 2004, 09:29 AM

are you saying that the 4G won't work with the cradle with dock connector

Mini_Blake · Aug 17th, 2004, 10:34 AM

I think the new 4g ipods are different dimensions to the 3g ones as they now include a clickable scroll whell like mini ipods have. As a result they havent the couple of buttons above the scroll wheel and are smaller.

mikeythemini · Aug 17th, 2004, 11:45 AM

I am told the 4th gen does work with the ice link cradle, it is 1/2mm thinner so isn't as snug a fit.

Nameless · Aug 17th, 2004, 03:24 PM

OK - Don't tell the North folks, cos I'm supposed to be an old fart

, but I'm gonna buy a 4th Gen and an icelink cable into the glove compartment.

We have the standard Single CD player (Boost?), and not the HK system.

(I don't want the Ipod on display and don't want a cradle ).

I now need an expert (Mikey!) to tell me what version of the cabley thing I need, and does this help towards the group buy at all?

Oh aye - and anyone got any sources for cheap New Ipods?

p.s. - Hope the rakester doesn't see this, he's the only one likely to be in here!

You need the dock cable to boost

mikeythemini · Aug 18th, 2004, 06:52 AM

Any one else

oleum · Aug 18th, 2004, 07:29 AM

Count me in too as a 95% probable.
I'll want it in the glove box but I haven't specced up the stereo on my new S yet so not sure what I will want, also be better if its in sept/oct when I have a few pennies again. The current S drank quite a bit going to the ring and back last weekend - just the S - I was driving!

MartinSSZ · Aug 18th, 2004, 07:46 AM

Mikey

Any chance you could do one for a Kenwood head unit?

If so stick me down for a 3G cradle please

Thanks,

Martin
