Default C70 2006 Ipod/Iphone hook up

Hey,

Does anyone know where I can get an interface kit for the the OEM stereo in my C70. I've googled and everyone says that the 2006 model cant be interfaced and you have to use FM - which is total pants.

Any ideas anyone.... other than selling it and buying the 2007 model obviously lol!

Cheers.

Have you considered the cost of a direct connect adapter set up for your car?

Sorry how do you mean? I'd like to have a hardwired solution as the FM unit is crap. I'm told that the 2006 can be done as it was the first of the new shape C70's and has no port in for an MP3 player?

Cheers.

What are you willing to pay to get an AUX input for your factory system. If your budget is a few hundred then trade the car in and get a newer model. Some will also say tying into the antenna connection directly with the FM modulator will give you improved sound. 2006 Euro model had the AUX in plug in the center console. US model got it a year later.

Hey,

I own the Euro 2006 model and it doesn't have an AUX in the centre console. That was incorporated into the 2007.

I'd read on a few forums that some guys had managed to interface an Ipod using a combination of cables and modules but can't locate anything specifically online. Happy (and competent) to install myself, just looking for a few pointers in terms of suppliers etc?

Cheers,
