Connecting an iPod to a 307 car radio

Hi All,

I recently purchased an iPod and want to be able to use it in the car and play my mp3s thru the car stereo.

Does anyone out there have experience of connecting an iPod in this way? I've scanned the web for cable adaptors for the radio and haven't managed to find anything for Peugeots. All I am after is a means of using the any aux in or line in connector that may be available on the back of my radio.

I'm not afraid of using a soldering iron and making up my own cables etc. so any information would be most welcome.

Thanks.

Hi,

Have a search for itrip on google or ebay. It is a device that transmits the music from your ipod on FM frequency to be received by your car radio without any leads or modifications.

Hope this helps.

connects to the CD Changer input on ths back of the Peugeout headunit and emulates a CD changer. The stalk controller can be used to FF,Skip and control the volume.You can choose connections for all generatinosof iPod and it also charges the iPod as well. Talk to a guy called Adrianat Gordon Harwood Computers and he will advise you what you need, he isreally helpful. This is a great solution as you can keep your originalhead unit and far superior to the iTrip FM transmitter as you have adirect connection (it is also illegal to use an iTrip in this country)

Hi Jon,

Thanks for this. It is exactly what I want. A bit pricey though! I've just come back from the States where I bought my 4G 40Gbyte iPod for £230 and ICE Link want £130 to fit it in the car :-(

If I cannot find anything else I'll have to go for it though, as listening to my 192Kbit rips over the FM radio is not quite the audio quality I'm looking for...

Thanks I've seen this, but I like my music to sound crisp and clear. My experiences of the iTrip is that it is acceptable audio quality, but not up to the standard I want to hear.

Hi,

Indeed ? Still, the emission power of the emitter is only of some hundreds of mW, sure it's not something which jams other "regular" radios (by "regular radios", I think of real radio stations, like the BBC or whatever). By reading this, I suppose it's required to get a licence to use a radio emitter - OK, a bit off topic here, but I'm curious), am I right in supposing this ?

David, the icelink may seem expensive, but the alternative is to buy a new head unit with an Aux in £???, then you will need a wiring harness for the steering wheel stalk which is about £40. There is no need to have the icelink fitted by a professional, it is a ten minute job that you can do yourself. It is also a very neat solution that gives good quality sound.

The iTrip is capable of jamming "real" radio stations for about 10 - 20 metres. I was using one in the states last year. The signal from the iTrip was available inside the house where I was staying as well as in the car, knocking out the "real" station that was broadcasting on that frequency.

Jon,

I think you are right. I have spent a few nights researching on the Net for alternatives an I have also called a couple of "specialist" in car audio companies. No one can recommend any alternative :-(

I have also found this:

Is this the same as the Ice>Link or are they different products? It seems very hard to tell from their website and I am still awaiting a reply from an email I sent them.

Dave It's not the same product and according to the specs is not compatible with a Peugeot!

Hi,

10 to 20 metres is far above what I've imagined for such devices. Something to piss off all drivers around you in a huge traffic jam :-)

I also supposed the frequency setup had to be careful, to avoid that - not really easy on a trip, IMHO.

A Cassete adapter wil be the cheapest method, but not the prettiest!
