I dont want the holder! but the cable on its own is the same price should be cheaper! or am i just a virginal tw4t?

Does that connect 2 lead loose any features? might just go for that if it dont.

I guess this is in store only?

The website has the Denison units but at full price, £150 for the IceLink, £100 for the FM modulator.

I got the 5th Gen Ipod Video 60gb and it fits in the active cradle.
Got it from http://www.ipodcarkitdirect.co.uk/Renault_iPod_Ice_Link_Plus_Adapter

i wanna know why the dock cable aint any cheaper than with the holder. its gay

The IceLink comes with a dock is the only real difference AFAIK.

The Denison actually uses a component from Connect2 from what I've been told, as I recall the unit that connects to the Renault changer socket at the back of the head unit.

Thought the connects kit came with bigger circuit board boxes that are harder to tuck away. Went for the denison myself.

 

[philmots]

Ah ok, i think i want the denison anyway it seems better for some reason i dont even know! so does anyone know where i can get the dension dock cable for less than 100 quid? and are they car specific?

They tuck above the glove box easily, theres acres of space in there, just wrapped mine in foam and put them in there. Then fed the dock cable into the cup holder part. Works a treat.

Is there no space in the area behind the HU and between the glove box to hide the cables, then had just the dock cable poking into the bottom of the glove compartment?

If you cant find it on ebay, NO.

 

[Tripps]

Just been to my local Halfords and they are selling the Denisons for £100 and the Connect2 for £85 - both have to be ordered, at least at the branch I visited anyway.

If buying from halfords, make sure the denison is actually the icelink, NOT the FM Modulator.
When i was looking into them last year, halfords just had the FM one which isn't the same/as good.

I went for the denison icelink+ and it's been spot on (if a bit expensive)

It's definitely the IceLink, checked it myself in the catalogue and the bloke checked it against the car type on screen.

Never trust the bozos at Halfrauds myself, so I'm always especially vigilant!

 

[Josh@Renparts]

im pretty sure the fm one is still called the ice link, at halfords, still plugs into the radio but is essensially an FM modulator.

Could well be that he just gave me the wrong price, as they advertise the proper IceLink+ for £150 on the website, so it seems strange that it's cheaper in store.

 

[philmots]

does the fm modulater let u control all the ipod from the head unit though?
