For anyone want ipod in 207

par **Sotiris Bouzikos** » 11 Janvier 2007, 19:40

As it is popular we all want to connect an ipod to our 207's.Almost anyone of us know that we have a problem with the control of the display.There is a good solution to keep the original head unit in its place,take out the plug of the speakers,connect a ''quadlock to iso'' plug,then steal the power supplies and install a new aftermarket unit in the second place under the original.This is one solution when you don't want to hear music from the original head unit and have all that troubleshooting(cannot connect an ipod etc.)but still have the control.
There is another solution comes from incarexpress.co.uk that have an adaptor for the ipods but you can only change tracks from the pre selected file.
I'm waiting one of this days a part of an order for my shop(car audio installs)and probably some pieces of something new in the market at this section.May be fully control of the device connecting to the AUX of the RD4.
We will keep in touch... :table:

Oh yes give us some information when you have tested that solution, we are very interrested in those solutions

Thanks a lot.

That's so sweet, Sotiris. Looking forward to hearing you.

In my 207 i'm thinking to put a push-pull drawer (from citroen C2) under the autoradio with the auxiliary kit mounted inside. Then I plug the ipod base and place it in the drawer. Plug the ipod and i can control the volume with the autoradio and navigate the ipod easely as it sits high enough on the dashboard.
This is not my idea, see message "tiroir push pull sur 207!!!!"

tiger, you sum up my thoughts ! This idea about the drawer is great ! :dance:

par **Sotiris Bouzikos** » 12 Janvier 2007, 19:28

Yes Tiger thats a good idea but you still have no control of the ipod.The positive of this idea is that you can connect anything even an Mp3 telephone so you can hear some music.
The fact remains the same my friend.We have to find a way to control it and of course charge it at the same time

par **Jesper Dalsgaard** » 13 Janvier 2007, 16:51

Connencts2 are developing an Ipod interface, making it possible to control the Ipod as if it was a CD-changer. Playlist 1 equalling CD 1 etc...

The drawer from a Citroen C2/C3 does not fit dirctly into the 207 (tried it), But i would imagine it could be adapted with a little work. I can´t open due to being to close to the climate control panek.

par **tiger** » 15 Janvier 2007, 23:31

well, thanks to Jesper, i think that my idea wasn't as great as i thought, too bad.
Since 5 years that ipod exists, nobody has a simple solution to integrate completly an ipod into a car ( well the way that Sotiris -and the whole world- wants).
Yes, there are autoradios which does that ( see apple site), but putting it in the 207, we loose the screen display...

.... still searching .....

par **Sotiris Bouzikos** » 16 Janvier 2007, 00:38

Maybe this is a good solution.

I think the first one is only for RD3, so not for 207 ... ^o)

like this one
here

Sotoris, I think that your first solution does not work, i have read in this forum ( but i don't know where) , the plugs are incompatible

For the second, it's a good way but it's a fixed solution. Like a GPS, a car burglar will like your solution.

I'm looking for a solution which i can hide easely, so i ban all ipod holders ...

For the first solution:
Not only the plugs are incompatible, but the signal types too!
This blue plug is for Blaupunkt radios, with DMS bus (proprietary signals, asynchronous serial 4800bps)).
On the Quadlock connector of the 207's radios (from Blaupunkt or VDO-Siemens), it is a CAN bus. Then there is no way to use this adapter.

par **Sotiris Bouzikos** » 16 Janvier 2007, 09:40

Of course you're right i didn;t think the can system.But i will send a mail to Blaupunct cause i'm working with this company and i'll know this afternoon

par **Jesper Dalsgaard** » 16 Janvier 2007, 11:36

I really can´t see how a solution can be any better than the one I described as comming from Connects2. 100% invisible and you are able to control the Ipod from the steering wheel remote or from the RD4.

par **Sotiris Bouzikos** » 16 Janvier 2007, 12:01

Yes Jesper you're right.For now this is the best solution and also have adaptors to connect aftermarket unit and control the in dash display(i think) :good:

par **tiger** » 17 Janvier 2007, 12:19

here is anothere solution maybe, coming from Belkin ( new release in march 2007)
the bluetooth dock adapter for ipod.
Two adapters: one goes in the dock ( hidden in the glove compartement) and the other attached to the ipod, becoming a remote.
The only thing, the dock has to be connected to the batteries.
They say that it is compatible with bluetooth devices, maybe also to the RT3.

This solution can be a good one where the ipod acts as a remote, so it can be handled by the passagers in front and back seats.

par **scuidgy** » 26 Mars 2007, 00:24

Why those expansive things?
Use just the normal AUX-in and fix the ipod in a cradle (Blaupunkt, Brodit). Use the ipod and Display as always.
Works fine.

par **Plex** » 05 Mai 2007, 08:42

I've just ordered the solution from Connects2

I'll return with results and photo's

par **Sotiris Bouzikos** » 05 Mai 2007, 21:56

Me too

par **mudman** » 20 Mai 2007, 17:23

Hi there!

Where do you order the connects2 unit? Price?

I talked with them and they told me this product is unavaliable at the moment :oops:

Thanks!

par **KissCool_zc** » 20 Mai 2007, 17:38

u can buy an Alpine... Ipod pilot !

par **mudman** » 20 Mai 2007, 17:44

Alpine? but I don't want to lose the menu options and steering controls...

It's possible with any alpine unit?

par **Sotiris Bouzikos** » 20 Mai 2007, 20:36

You will lose the menu options but not the steering control.Anyway if you want it the product code is KCE-420i with any unit of alpine brand you want or you can buy a latest model of alpine that have already yhe cable for that job.
For the connects2 adaptor you are right is not possible for the moment cause there is a production problem and you have to wait a little while...

or for example

with that adaptor

and there is an amplifier from blaupunct that is not need to cut any cables and is for factory systems photos from tomorrow just plug n play
:dance:

iPod is visible and easy to use. So why do you wanna use the headunit?

Taste. I hate all that retrofitted crap.

par **scuidgy** » 01 Août 2007, 06:47

Okay, then I would recommend the 2-DIN Pioneer AVIC D3 Unit.
