If you like your music it's essential, I don't remember mine being that hard to fit 3 years ago when I did it either, and I have the CD changer and NAV etc. I have a coupe mind.

The Intravee gives you your ipod on your NAV screen, cracking piece of kit.
I know you demo'd it for me...But it just looked a nightmare to install! - Loads of wires by the battery... are all the issues ironed out, i'm sure you said it was freezing occasionally?

Sure i like my music, but i listen to alot of mixes, so i put it on and leave it on, i don't need to change it for at least 2hrs more the time and i'm rarely in the car that long...

I'm not a techy at all, i only got an iPhone last year! lol!

It's only really two wires and all are hidden and occassional freezing cured through software update.

I'm always changing album etc so it works for me,

I feel the need to re emphasise that the Intravee install isn't beyond anyone with a basic level of DIY skills. Take the bulkhead carpet away and it's readily apparent what needs done, especially if you search the previous installation threads on here. People are being put off installing the Intravee because of the misconception that it's a complicated install, there's an Alpine DAB unit for sale on the forum for this reason. All it takes is a little time and patience.

Well finally had time and temperatures above zero to get my Intravee install finished.

In the end I had to remove the CD Changer as I could see now way of getting the carpet up in the boot far enough.

So Intravee and alpine unit are located where the CD Changer was.

I made a small hole by the light in the storage compartment to feed the iPod and serial leads through. This also meant if the Intravee was removed the little hole wouldn't be noticeable.

Image

Put it all back together and I made up a blanking panel from a DVD cover to cover the hole.

Updated the Nav to V32, Intravee also updated to latest version, so just have to work out how to use it now.

Let me know how you get on with the intravee please? Especially how many of the extra menu features work with the car, I'm really tempted!
