Thanks Smiff.
How does the icelink connect to the mini stereo? What sort of connectors does it go into on the back and is it easy to route the cables out from behind the stereo into the car?
OK are you ready... Deep Breath
First there's a CD connector. - There's a big male plug on a loom that plugs into the radio. This is connected to a matching female plug that the connector which would normally be plugged into the radio plugs into. Coming out of this lot sideways is a CD connection cable.
This CD connection cable plugs into one end of a Connects2 box of tricks, which I think translates your head unit CD signals so you could normally connect an aftermarket CD changer.
Out of the other end of the box is a cable which connects the Connects2 box to one end of the Icelink, which is a litlle black widget which I think converts the CD changing signals into ipod signals.
Out of the other end of the Icelink is either a Dock cable which plugs straight into the ipod, or a cable connected to an ipod cradle, whichever you prefer.
It sounds complicated, but loads of us have done it and send you instructions on fitting, and you can't put it in wrong because all the plugs and sockets are different, so you can't plug the wrong thing into the wrong place.
If I'm not mistaken, when you change car's you just need to change the first bit - the CD connector, to suit your new car. ( Check with Mikey cos that might be completely wrong ).
