Yes Howard same as the one on the link m8 with cd changer in boot

Sorry , I'm being thick I think , but where is the tape deck on that ?

I think he has an iPod lead going into an Aux port or something.

Alfie at comand.co.uk is the person to talk to about this. He will know how it is done and the most cost effective way to do it.

The tape deck is behind the "radio, cd" etc. buttons. You press the button with the arrow and they all move down revealing the tape deck.

Ah !

Didn't know that

He uses a tape thing with a headphone socket then a adaptor from that to a iPad connector any one know what's its called or Where to get one from ?

I threw one out a couple of weeks ago, They used to be the way to play a portable CD player through the stereo.

Thanks but it's the part from that to the iPad sync connection I am looking for

Something like a Griffin Smartdeck then. You may have to send off to the US for that!

It looks like he just has a wire with female headphone jack on one end and iPad connector on other tho ..I could be wrong as this stuff goes right over my head

They look good , good find , don't know if first one will work as I have cd changer and tv tuner but as I said before this stuff goes right over my head , I wonder if any one on here has used any of them I can't be the only person wanting to play music from there phone or iPad

 

[Howard]

Just to feed back on this a little.

I bought one of these to see what they were like , and I can confirm it's pretty good. You need to find a frequency that isn't near any other station as you can get some bleed through , but it works fine.

You can hear a bit of fuzz when there is silence on a tune , or a very quiet section , but it's liveable with. When you are listening to anything at any volume you don't notice it at all. All for under a fiver.

ar m8 that was weird I was just saying to my wife I have not had any thing back on the iPad thread and looked round and you had posted .....you watching me or some thing lol any way thanks I have ordered one .is the link the one you bought as I just boughts that one

 

[Howard]

Yes , that's the exact same one I bought.

Some of the others only have five or so frequencies programmed in , so if none of them work , you're stuffed. That one you can search by .1 increments.

Best frequencies with no bleed in my area appear to be 87.6 and 90.6 , everything else seems too near to a station and you get bits of both.

Figuring out how to get the comand to search actual frequencies rather than stations was a bit of a faff as I've lost the comand manual lol
