Is there a simple and cheap way to connect an iPod to a factory-fitted Ford
head unit (it's a 6000 - type, in a new model Mondeo)? I know that there are
proprietary cables on the market, but is there a simple bodge connection(s)
that will persuade the head to accept the audio output from the iPod? I'm
not wanting to have the head unit do anything clever like track changing -
just volume up and down will do ;o)

TIA
Pete

No. This is what you need:

Thanks for that Matt,

I haven't got a CD changer though ( I want to use an iPOD as a substitute
for one of those units.

Still, good to know that gadget exists.

Cheers,
Pete

We can also do one for use without a changer. Feel free to mail me if
you want more info.

This may not be 100% correct but someone told me that the latest Ford head
units have an AUX in facility with the socket being in the glovebox. Can
anyone confirm?

Yes, on the Sony radios that is the case. I am not sure if the socket in
the glovebox itself has to be bought separately.

Like one or two others - I'm interested in connecting an MP3 player
(Creative jukebox) to the standard ford stereo (6000CD in this case).
Has anyone tried fitting a Ford aux interface
(http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/prod...oducts_id=2667) and
how easy is it to fit ?
Can you switch between this and the CD player / Radio (if so - how does
that work..?) - there is no Aux button on the stereo to switch
inputs.

Any advice would be gratefully received.....
