Is music and phone a possibility via Dension/other in car device?

[JD]

Looking at getting a Dension ipod holder and link for the new car, but wondered if I could kill two birds with one stone and get the dension to work as a phone link as well as a music link?

Or would I have to get an Audi/other bluetooth device and just use separately?

 

[Adam]

Parot will do both phone and audio services.

 

[JD]

Parrott? Ok, so they will have something that I can connect my iPhone to and it will play the iPhone music through the cars speakers and same with phone calls?

£185 to fit.

I would rather pay money to have someone fit it, than f**k it up myself. But maybe that's just me . . .

 

[Tom]

it is.

See how simple that is?

srsly replace the HU

 

[Tom]

If he has an S3 an aftermarket HU would look garbage.

 

[Gally]

He's right you know.

Splash out on a big ass double din HU.

better looking HU and it would be alright wouldnt it not one that looks like a 90's goodmans

 

[Tom]

It will take him 7 years to decide on a HU. Limit the b******s choice.

 

[McBunny]

lol the pio i posted is decent in both spec and looks imh

o

 

[McBunny]

granted blue illumination goes against the audi dials but still

 

[JD]

OK,

A; Tom is right about the CD player looking gash, Mike. Personal taste, but want as OEM look as poss.

B; I spent 1000s on my Clio and that kept going wrong (ICE wise) so excuse f**king me if I want to spend some time, Tomarse.

C; Answer me this: where do you put the two wacking pieces of orange equipment? Or would you just suggest chucking them in the dash somewhere?

[McBunny]

If you cant fit that i'll beat you to death with it. (you need the BT module too)

 

[Revels]

Surely the standard HU will have a line in?

Just buy a cheap iPod from eBay with a broken screen and use that.

 

[JD]

Now that was worth the thread, Tom. Spot on my friend.

Precisely what I was going to do, Dan, but I know Tom knows his stuff with these things. So thought if I can get an all in one device to handle the blue tooth as well, spot on.

I have a perfectly acceptable nano 3G that is for that use, but just great to have an all in one.

Sold to the man in Cheshire.
