What's the cost of an iPod connector fitted to a 430?

[LukeyLikey]

If anyone has any ideas about this or any other suggestions I would appreciate it. Cheers

Do you have a Becker head unit?

Dension or Mobridge adapters work with Porsche OEM, not sure if they work with the Becker.

Call Greg @ Auto Audio who did a full install in my Porsche, they deal with high end cars daily, and I'm sure Greg will be happy to advise on how to do it:

I think there are several different types

1 - phono plug - no recharging
2 - apple plug - no recharging
3 - apple plug - with 12v recharging
4 - apple plug - inline recharging
5 - apple plug - inline recharging & headunit control

Basic cables usually on Ebay although (5) I believe is no longer available from Becker

Sorry no links but I picked up a used genuine becker one on ebay for £40, its the one that charges but does not control from the head unit, you have to use the ipod or iphone to control the music.

search something like Becker ipod lead or connector, seem to remember some in the states for next to nothing money.

Think from Becker they are something like £80 -100

iPod won't work with some Beckers. My 2006 Becker had to be changed to a Becker Grand Prix as it didnt have the option and the iPod is in the glove compartment and works beautifully through the head unit.

However, my Becker is not compatible with the iPhone 4s so now I don't have hands free through the stereo anymore.

On a related topic, the factory fit in mine doesn't charge so I plugged in my after market charger when I first had the 430 and the Scuds 12v socket killed my I Phone 3GS. Fried the motherboard.
Be Careful.

Thanks for the responses, my local Ferrari Dealer wants to charge about £500! The head unit is a Becker, but unless they're planning to do something pretty spectacular, I'll pass on that.

I think I'll check exactly why they see it so expensive and either negotiate or look elsewhere.
