So I was maybe considering upgrading my car (DYI) with an Ipod adapter, however I have the following questions maybe someone can assist.


I dont already have the CD changer option, so I was curious to know if my car was already pre-wired for the CD Changer/Ipod connection and all I had to do was hook up somewhere, but I didnt see a free connection back there. Am I missing something or do you have to actually access the back of the radio/cpu you somewhere? to make the connection?

Secondly I notice that I could put my owners manual wallet in the place where the CD changer would go giving my self extra glove box room, does someone make a plastic sleeve that would just slide into place to sort of expand the space of the glovebox? I went to the dealer yesterday and they didnt have anything like that.

Anyone run into the above questions?

thanks

 

If in the space where your manual is you don't see any wiring and plugs there I'd say you don't have the pre-wiring. Also isn't it an option code you can look up via your dealer. Also if you are going to install the iPOD interface then that space will be gone and there will be no need to find a plastic insert for that space because you wont have any.

 

I saw retrofit kit pdf manual here before but couldn't find the particular thread 'bout it, if you don't have option SA672/694 you may need to use iPod interface retrofit kit no. 65 41 0 412 881. If I remember correctly that retrofit kit has extension where you have to route behind the CD in the-mid console where the closest fiber hub probably.

 

from what i know, the space for the cd hanger will be occupied by the Ipod interface( will occupy more space posteriorly) if your looking at getting the interface, and from the interface an audio cable will go in the radio thru Aux/CD input(back of the radio). hope this helps.
