Ipod Integration Kit Recommendations

[Ogata]

Anyone know of of any Ipod/Iphone Kits that will show the title of your track as well as controlling via the Steering Wheel Controls? I know GTA Car Kits has one but it doesn't seem it supports track title showing. Auto-Links has a kit too but its not supported as I have an 08. Any other ideas? Not sure if I wanna get the OEM Ipod Adapter. Oh and I have the OEM Bose Radio deck

Anyone? I am planning to buy an Ipod this Boxing day sale and I need to know what you guys use and thoughts on.

It's hard to come across those for factory decks from my experience, which is why I just got a simple ipod adapter/charger. From my previous experience, aftermarket decks are a lot better to handle track lists on the deck itself.

:sad:bang:bang:bang:bang All the more reason why I'm thinking about switching to Hyundai as they have USB and Ipod support. This should be standard on all NA cars nowadays

I have a 2011 GX and am planning to get the parrot Mki 9200 which does Bluetooth AND had 3 additional connections for iPod integration, aux ( you'll have 2 in total now) and a RCA in. Mind you, you can probably do a2dp with the new iPod and save the kluge of wires.

Looks like the DICE or Neo Prolink are what you're after.

get the OEM one... Pricey, but works VERY well

How pricey off the top of your head? I'll ask Joe and search for installation instruction (if there are any). I am kind of leaning more towards USB with text now. Seeing some on Dice that I like but it looks like I have to dice some wires to the FM antenna.

hmmm... i remember paying about 450 for it...

One more thing. I just noticed you have a 2008.5, so not sure how it works on your model car. Sorry, should have mentioned that above :(

Called up MOT and they said you need to sacrifice your AUX to have this working and also confirmed there is no text showing when the song is playing. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm thinking about getting the DICE USB Integration kit which seems to support text.

why don't you get this...

I got mine for $250 when I bought my car from there.. and it's definitely worth it.

It has Radio, GPS, Bluetooth, iPhone/iPod Adapter, etc etc... But I use a USB to play my songs on it.. it's much easier because I can leave my USB in my car instead of plunging in my iPhone in and taking it out every time

I would have already looked into the Caska unit but since I have the Bose Headunit, I'm not sure if that would work / I would like to preserve. Has anyone here used the DICE products before?

I'm pretty sure the OEM kit for the 08.5 and newer will display the song titles, and lets you control with the steering wheel like all of the OEM ones do
but it won't let you directly control the ipod like aftermarket kits do though

cheapest way to get the OEM kit is from the states

I spoke with someone at MOT who confirmed with Joe that it will NOT display song titles.

Wouldn't you lose all the consumption gauge? (kms left, avg speed, avg consumption, current consumption

I don't think 04-05 has it and 06 up is gain some and loose some.

[Lockdown]

I don't think I'd like to lose those gauges but I have seen a lot of cars with those units. There are other units that are very similar that don't lose the gauges when installed.

Also, I don't think these kits support iPod charging.
