Installing USB on MY10?

Postby AshWilliams » Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:29 am

When I purchased my Liberty GT 2.5, I neglected to get a USB input and AUX is a tad annoying. Anyone recommend how to install a USB port?

My mate put one of these in his Golf and it worked a treat. Its cheaper than the factory option too:

Apparently its a plug and play affair, but you need to pull out a few internal panels if you wanted to run the cable to the centre cubby.

Or just use bluetooth :wink:

Awesome. I've yet to see if Android lets me go through folders and such yet, as my iPhone which I'm forced to use at the moment doesn't work. Thanks

My Nexus one starts playing the active playlist as soon as you select bluetooth audio. You can skip songs through the playlist but if you want to do anything meatier, you need to play with the phone.

The iPhone should work, I've used two with mine - although it was pre 4.0 and mono audio only, and was promptly disconnected.


Edit: does anyone know what the difference between the JDM and ADM McIntosh is? I noticed there's a HDD option in the JDM model..

Any JDM unit will be set up to tune different radio frequencies to Australia.
You MIGHT be able to switch them to our bands, but don't bank on it.
