Best way to connect an iphone?

[mattyb6]

What's the best way to get my iphone to work in my car??

I DONT have Bose and it's a single din concert head unit. That's pretty much it, I don't have to cd changer either.

I know some people have problems with the rear speakers working with after head units, and I don't think I could afford RNSE, but RNSE has OEM look which I like.

I do have a really good quality spare sub, components and amp sitting on the shed. Would it be worth using maybe?

I've looked at the parrot kit, but don't think I like it, and I've been looking at the Denison gateway too

Any thoughts lads?

What at you looking for, just music playback?

If so you can get the connects2 boxes for circa £30 that plug into the headphone jack.

Aye mate, not bothered about anything fancy, aslong as it meets the quaintly of what I'm getting now ( which it will)

Il have a look at then connect2 now

Think il go for the top one £60

As I could just buy a USB stick or memory card and leave it in which would free up memory on my iphone

I used one of these before converting to double din and using an Xtrons head unit.

Yeah it worked fine. It plugged into the CD changer socket on the back of the standard stereo. I believe the Dension ones are better quality Hands Free Car Kits | iPod Adapter for Car | Bluetooth Hands Free Kits but their equivalent model is £169. I never had a problem with mine. The only thing is they only come with the older 30 pin iPhone adapter, so you would just need an adapter if you have the newer lightening connector.

 

[mattyb6]

Yeah I have a iphone 5 with lightening plug

Il have a look tmra and maybe treat myself

Sick of living in the past with CDs

I have a xcarlink in mine with a RNS-D,Bose and CD charger and it works great. Only thing it doesn't do is show artist and track names which I would have liked.

The good thing about these is you can use your phone as a dab radio too, and if you get a lead with a speaker in it you can use it as a hands free.

 

[mattyb6]

Not to bothered about hands free
As I've got no mates lol joking I just never answer my phone to anyone
Plus our lass has agreed to me getting one as she can put her music on or as I put it anyway haha

I've been looking and rns e and Jesus Christ for what their are there expensive

Yeah they are, I think I'll keep my RNS D. It may not have some of the stuff the E has but it does what I want.
