allows you to play music from your mp3 player through the OE headunit keeping all your steering controls aswell, its a nice bit of kit if you dont want to change the headunit and have to buy loads of adapters

whats this as my cd player is crappy and dont want to change it but want to play my ipod

it gives you an aux 3.5mm jack that can be used as a straight fwd line in.
, an ipod connector ( I've never used this as I don't have an ipod )
, and a USB port.

I plug a USB memory stick into it. The headunit then see's each album on the memory stick as a CD, as if you had a 100 CD changer in the car. Title's and track names are NOT displayed, instead the display shows something like CD9 Track 12.

Renault Tunepoint, about £180 from new.

Is a nice piece of kit as it charges the ipod/iphone at the same time.

It does work with the Cabasse stereo. I had a Multifunctional TunePoint fitted to mine.

It plugs into the blue 'multichanger' socket in the back of the H/U.

Is that in the passenger footwell yeh?

 

[GR4H4M]

Yep

Didn't fancy cutting a hole in the glove box, as I couldn't find a way through. So went for the easy option and used industrial velcro to hold it up there!!

I also found the iPod function useless, so I just used the aux input and had a cradle (which I still have) for the 'Pod and controlled it manually.

wimp , there is a piece of plastic at the back of the glove box you can remove, drill the hole and replace. Simple job.

 

[GR4H4M]

Oh naff off you :rasp:

My way worked, just a little untidy haha! Anyways, sold it long time ago as I've upgraded!
