What are my options for iPod with a pre 08 vantage?
Discussion
I have the Dension Gateway 500 system in my 06 Vantage. It was already fitted to the car when I bought it so I'm not sure who installed it. There is a lead in the glovebox which the ipod plugs into and then it can be controlled by the cars stereo controls. It's not the most intuitive system for controlling the ipod but is fine once you get used to it and it displays the track / artist names on the head unit.
Option 1: http://www.paralight.co.uk/IpodBluetoothforAstonMa... £600
Option 2: AM also supply their own equivalent. IIRC, price is somewhere between £1k & £2k.
Option 3: FM transmitter. Lots on the market but this is my preferred one. (Also allows you to use your iPhone as a sat nav): http://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F8Z441 £30 from Amazon or eBay.

When I purchased mine I had the dealer install a Parrot MKi9100 http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-k...
It is similar to the parralight. I can't say how much it would be as my installation was part of my deal.
The Parrot is a good bit of kit.

100% go see James at Parlight.
Very very happy with the work he did on my 06 vantage.
I have full iPod control through the head unit, charging (obviously), USB cable (also functional through head unit), a switch to change back to cd changer and maintaining all usual radio and sat Nav functions.
You won't even know its there!
Very good value for the money.
