The USB/Aux-in/ipod compatibility superthread

[jay.ritchie]

Noticed today that the ipod keeps playing sometimes even when I turn off the car. A very small gripe, but a gripe none the less. Would still have definetly bought the unit if I knew about this in advance.

That's weird as mine seems to pause at any chance it gets!

Today I successfully hooked up the GROM IPD-3. Ipod and Aux in for non-mac HU, model number - GX-203KH. (MY06 2.0R)

EDIT: Bought the bluetooth adapter as well, works great! Auto connects once you turn the key and turns off iPod when a call comes in and the bluetooth streaming is great quality. You can only have 2 extensions though, so Ive gone with Ipod and bluetooth, no more aux-in.
- All functions work as they describe.

Figured Id share because I didn't find any definite answers for the GROM unit for my car when I searched the forum.

thinking of getting the usb version...can you use the unit along side the factory features? (still us radio & cd normally)

also where do most people hide the unit? inside the arm rest compartment?



assuming the steering wheel controls work normall with this!

Ciand06,
I don't know if the cd still works, as mine was fucked, hence why I went searching for an ipod connnecter in the first place. I rekon it would though but someone else will confirm this for you. Radio works perfectly. Steering wheel buttons work too.

I took my cable from the back of the HU straight down past the hand brake and under the centre console. Drilled a hole for the cable in the centre glove box

The CD player still works as normal. Its just an extra push of the "CD" button to toggle between CD and anycarlink input.
I have my cord coming out into the ash tray where the ciggarette plug is

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a Nokia Bluetooth CK-200 car kit in a 2007 Liberty with a basic factory setup (6CD Stacker). I can get one for about $135 and was therefore wondering if it was worthwhile for use with an iPhone.

anycar currently out of stock @ about sound

my mac cd player has also decided to go on the fritz with skipping! argggh

[bigBADbenny]

If you have aux- in the Belkin will tide you over...

[syphe]

did anyone else have issues with the ipod not shutting off when the car is turned off?
I'm having this problem on the Mcintosh head unit. I can work around it by either switching to Aux before turning the car off, or switching to FM, then back to CD after starting the car again.

Hey guys,

Just got my Anycarlink-1080D from http://www.wavetech.co.nz/Anycar-AL-1080D-cla.html for AU$132 delivered and installed in MY05 3.0R. Works awesomely, can't fault it! Really easy to install as well.

Seriously, get one if you dont have one already.

Cheers!
