Need to connect my iPhone to the car radio and I have the same as the one pictured in this advert, will this do the job well or does ne 1 know of a good alternative?

If it just connects to the headphone jack then you will only get the sound through the car. You won't be able to skip track and that. This is extremely expensive compared to the £10 ish I paid for the one in my car that does the same thing. Off ebay too. It just connects to the back of the head unit. I fed the cable through a hole in the glove box and leave my ipod in there. Most of the time I can't be bothered with it though!

It says in the description that it connects via the cd changer port to fool it to thinks a cd changer is providing the imput, will this mean I can use the controls?

 

[Arran]

Ye, but it connects to the phone jack on the player (ipod etc) and you can't control them from that if I am correct.

Ahh I see where ur coming from, think ur correct thanks, any 1 got any alternatives?

This is similar to what I have in mine:

You can buy what Renault call a Tunepoint, but they are like £100 or something like that.

Where can u buy them from? Renault dealer?

I have the same one in mine Arran http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IPOD-MP3-Adap...arParts_SM&hash=item35afc2bc9e#ht_1179wt_1139

I bought the cheaper version for £8 and it lasted about 6mths, but this is down to me putting it in the cupholders and causing wear to the flex. This one is a lot better quality so I guess it will last even longer.

Renault will sell you a tunepoint, have a look in to it, but I think they are expensive. Try TwingoGeek.
