Interesting iPod control solution

[A-AvantGarde]

Has anyone seen these before?

Uses a standard AUX in connection and has power from the 12v / cigar socket but allows some limited iPod control too.

Looks quite neat...

I use one of these in my BMW, works a treat with my 5th gen Nano and my iPhone 3GS as it uses the USB pins on the dock connector to charge (unlike the older devices like the Belkin equivalent which only charge on the Firewire pins, which don't work on the newer ipods and iphones).

Bought one on the weekend and think it's great - best solution I could find

looks like just what i have been after , I have looked at the mercedes kit but it is very expensive , Jost a simple question where is the aux input socket ? I have a external cd player ( if i have to lose it it would not be a problem)

Not sure that you will have one on your car. On later cars the jack socket is in the glovebox.

the cd multichanger is in the glove box and there is a fiberoptic connector on it . does this mean i have to get the mercedes kit ?

Misfire wifes 203 has the cd changer in the glovebox also, and on the left side of the glovebox is the aux in socket its tiny and looks like a button.
