iPod options?

Ok guy I know this is probably done to death!
But what is the best option for fitting an iPod in a 2004 non touch screen!

I've already got a parrot 3100 for the Bluetooth (iPhone) but want to listen to music stored on it!

Do I upgrade the parrot for one with music capabilities ?? Or is there a more oem fitment?

Any pics and prices would be handy!
Thanks

I have been searching on here but nothing explains the best connection?
I presume these are the options

Which £ for £ is best and simple to fit and best place to buy them?

I went from Intravee to an Alpine Ezi-DAB on mine.

The Ezi-DAB isn't as discreet as the Intravee, but you do get full DAB as well as a hard-wired iPod cable.

The alternative is to go for an amp upgrade from Baris on here which also gives you iPod connectivity. Si. <This is my name.

The Intravee gives the most 'native' performance for navigating the iPod. Other than that, these days the Groms, Densions, etc should be fine at half the cost.

One thing I have noticed: my old iPhone only had 16GB. When I moved to my current 64GB iPhone performance became... a bit tedious. You scroll, wait, and scroll again in 20 title increments. I do not know if it is the intravee, the lag between ai-net and the rest, or a problem in my settings. I have not had any time to play with this (almost 2 yrs Rolling Eyes )

No. It's a dedicated DAB unit with its own DAB aerial mounted on the windscreen. You'd not notice it.

I have a few pictures that I could post later if you're interested? Reception is excellent and the unit works well.

The only downside is that it doesn't go through the main screen, but as the control box and display screen are pretty small (and placed in a 'dead' area of my centre console), it looks and functions very well indeed.

That said, I'd still go the Baris route and would have done so had it been available at the time. Si. <This is my name.

Ignore my question, I've self-served. Doesn't apply to me with my car and HK sound. Will have to stop being a tight wad and stump up for the proper iPod kit me thinks... Rolling Eyes Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

Have you got any pics of your install? How does the ezi dab connect to the system? Do you lose the cd changer??
Sorry bout the questions but this seams like a reasonable option?
Thanks

The Ezi-DAB connects via a hidden box behind the dash. I had a car ICE place do it for me as I'd only have broken it.

All you see is this control unit and the iPod cable. It works via the CD function, although in my case the CD auto changer was already removed due to the Intravee.

That looks a nice fit!
So i would lose the cd changer? It is prob worth it as most of my music is on iPod now anyway!
Did you have to buy any conversion adaptors so the cd changer cable would fit?
Thanks

No, I just paid an all-in price. The unit needed an Aux-In to work, which these early systems don't have, but the installer did this easily via an extra small hidden box.

It all works seamlessly with excellent sound quality. Si. <This is my name.

Looks nice but dont think you can beat the intravee and the fact its done on the screen and from the wheel etc One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!
