I can finally play the iPod in the car!

Been waiting f**king ages for an Update List stereo to come up for sale and finally won one on Ebay. With the help of Floridadaz I can get my tunes back in the car... changing CD's when driving is too much hassle!

Yay.

Errrr i was told the wiring is different....

Indeed, can't put an update list where a tuner list was. Update list runs on the canbus setup, the tunerlist the earlier analogue stuff. Not interchangeble without rewiring the whole car.

but i'm sure your aware of this!

I did the same a few months ago and found out the same. lol. Luckily I sent the radio back to the ebay seller and got all my money back. Then bought a denison ice link off someone on here that upgraded to an MP3 hu. I know your pain fella. Gotta laugh though.

Aye, I asked originally what car it was from and if it would fit my '03 Clio and he replied saying "yeah..." so I've just said that I've asked around and it actually won't.

I may have to take a negative feedback hit, but that's not the worse thing in the world. So, is tunepoint the only option?

 

[Floridadaz]

I think I have pointed the non compatabilty thing out on my cable sales thread:dapprove:. You might be better off selling the head unit and cable on ebay as you might end up making a profit. Somebody might fancy a return to a standard head unit which are less likely to be pinched.

A cheaper option for tuner list is connects2

Cheers mate, I've not checked one of your threads for a while, so you may have done. I know originally you thought it might be possible to do it this way, but it seems to have been covered quite a few times!

I'll have a look into connects2 - I might just bite the bullet and find a subtle looking aftermarket iPod compatible HU instead.

Im gonna get a connects2 aswell but if your a bit of a geek you could manage it without one i think..

Blimey! I think I'll opt for a connects2!

 

[drunknmunky]

How do u do this connects2?? Ive looked at that link but toally confused

That link's nothing to do with the connects2 mate, it looks like some people have managed to make the update list work in tuner list cars, but sod trying that on mine!

The connects2 just replaces the CD changer (if you have one) with a little box which you can connect a phono to 3.5mm jack cable to, which you can then connect your iPod to. In effect, it turns your head unit into an amp to then play the iPod through your car speakers.

The connects2 plugs into the loom where the CD changer would plug into!
