I have just purchased an Ipod Nano and am looking for an interface which can connect it to my '02 boost radio. I don't actually need to have the controls on the radio itself but that would be a plus. As long as I can connect it directly to my stereo, I'll be happy. I also want to still be able to see the title, if not on the headunit, at least on the Nano itself. Mikeythemini??

Icelink plus will work... However, you probably won't get titles on the HU. You will, however, get titles on the Ipod.

I have one in the car and it works great.

I thought that Ice link plus showed the text on screen? No...?

DaFlake · Nov 29th, 2005, 10:13 AM

Only on 05 or newer HU's. At least that is what I have been told.

mikeythemini · Nov 29th, 2005, 10:14 AM

On that year of car you wont get titles on the stereo
Icelink plus is the way to go
You could buy it with the dock connector
then either leave it in the glove box or buy one of our new nano cradles & no holes brackets to mount it so you can see the titles
OR order with the dension 3g cradle (same price as dock) it will work but will be loose BUT you will be able to add the NANO sleave when it comes out in december

Does this mean that if I get an Icelink for my 05 One Seven it'll display titles on the stereo screen as well as charging and being controlled by the OE CD deck?

johnD · Nov 29th, 2005, 12:53 PM

Thanks for all the info people.

Mikey,
What is the name of your nano cradle and no holes bracket? Can't seem to distinguish which is which on your site.

MOCKSY · Jan 7th, 2006, 05:27 PM

did your ipod connect to the 02 radio ok? i have a cd boost 02 spec oem bmw mini radio and was told you cant connect the ipod to the stereo unless you use an itrip thing? does the dock easily just wire in at the back of the stereo or is it a mission? is there power output in the back of the radio for the charger or is that best wired into cig lighter?
thanks

I opted to use a cassete player with the xtrememac mount. Sounds great specially since audio was from the dock connector and not the earphones jack.
