Another ipod question

Post by DashBedrock » Mon Jun 05, 2017 8:01 pm

Hi all,
I've recently purchased the pictured ipod interface (used from ebay) and after searching all weekend I'm no nearer to finding a wiring diagram or installation guide. In particular where to install the 3 cables shown in the other picture.
I understand that the white connector replaces the CD changer and after successfully fitting my own aux in cable I have a general idea of what needs to be done ( apart from the afore mentioned 3 cables).
Any help in putting me on the right track will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

This should help. Although for slightly different model, the terminations will be the same.

Successfully installed the ipod interface thanks to instructions in the link posted by 2dogs.
All working fine apart from it not actually charging the ipod which I believe it should.
The ipod charges as it should at home.
Any ideas please?
Regards
Andy

U need the voltage converter dongle fella. Sits between the ipod and cable connector from ur kit.
U could also go for a bt dongle that sits on top of that too and stream via bt.

I fitted the same kit a few weeks ago, mine charges the ipod.

Do you get any track information when playing music?

Unfortunately no track info. I think that's dependent on which head unit you have.

I bought the Layen one from Amazon £14.99 delivered. Sorry but I don't know how to post a link.
I just searched Amazon for iPod voltage converter. It solved my charging problem :D
