Aston I-Pod Fitting

[Soul Reaver]

Hi Guys

Just got this from my local dealer

Dear Mark

A fully intregrated iPod connection for your Aston Martin

We are pleased to announce that we can now fit a fully integrated iPod connection into your Aston Martin for the all inclusive price of £599.

This equipment fits neatly into your glovebox where a gateway device allows your iPod to be played, controlled and displayed through the existing audio equipment giving you a professional installation that looks part of the car.

For further information, or to arrange fitment, please contact either Graham Wass or Scott Freeman on 01223 875600.


Yours sincerely

Have been doing it for about a year now I think.

I would imagine it's the same kit.

Now, if someone were to do this for 400 quid all in I may be interested. But I believe there's a box of tricks or two which precludes that price point at present.

You can also buy MOST (electronics name) interface boxes to DIY it. But this may be tricky without experience.

I'm still using CDs burned at under 10p a pop when I get bored, and have a Griffin iTrip for longer trips (which is OK, but not perfect).

Do our head units in 07+ model year cars play cd's with mp3 files? Thats the simplest way of getting lots of songs into your car.

Personally, not driving the V8V that often, I'm pretty happy just taking 6 cds with me, and another load in a pouch that fits neatly into the cubby hole between the seats.



I must say that the 700 watt audio system in my car is absolutely fantastic!!

So this isn't the factory upgrade kit.. it's something else?

I have a Dension gateway that plays through the Linn hi(ish)fi.

No.

But you can get 80mins of music on a CD. And it's a doddle to burn mix ups on something like iTunes.
