Not tried anything else yet. One of those jobs where I need to sit behind the computer for an afternoon and try things out...

To be fair, it is a doddle if you don't have a CD changer.

I would echo that, as long as you've taken the interior out before.

And there is no messing around with the air vents and head unit, so no need to employ the peetach method.

This isn't that complicated a job, the actual wiring of the Intravee and Alpine devices to the car is very simple. It's just the placement of the devices that needs a bit of thought and patience. The guides for removing/replacing all the necessary trim are on here in previous threads.

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.

With PVR's awesome knowledge of how to strip the interior, it would have been a 30min job. The only reason it's complicated is the stupidly short cables.

Once in, it's a brilliant addition to the car. Gives you complete and simple access to all your music on the nav screen. It's the best iPod integration I've ever seen in a car.

I hope it's worth it, TBH my Dension IceLink Plus did a good job, but as I hadn't fitted it, it was a now or never choice.

Your Icelink Plus did not charge the iPod and could not show half the information that the Intravee does.

Remember to switch on the "advanced" options so you get a whole load more to configure as the default is MKIII computer, not MKIV.

It charged the iPod, showed ID3 tags on the DVD screen, along with Playlists and artist and album selection.
