Hi I'm wanting to connect me iPhone 4 s iPod to the standed stereo is the best way to do this with a lead to the aux plug in the bk ?? And what kind of lead do I need ????

you just need a standard lead that plugs into the headphone socket..needs to be same at both ends...get one that is retractable ..easier to tuck it away than a standard size lead

Oh right thanks what is the correct name for this lead so can search for one on eBay??
And what are the retractable ones not seen them ???

So am I right in thinking that it's just connected by he aux in the bk of the rrs and the head phone socket in iPhone 4 and not the charger slot ??

I wouldn't bother. you can hardly hear it as the aux input doesn't go through the amp.

interesting mine seems to work and its plenty loud enough

just tried it and its about 5 units lower than the radio...you can adjust volume using the ipod/iphone volume setting and by using the amp in the car

dont know if it matters if your car has rear seat entertainment system or not...mine does and it uses the cars amplifier if it didnt when you turn volume control up you wouldnt hear anything

well mine deff isn't worth plugging in. I have tried different leads with mine, messed around with the volume settings on my iphone and i've even tried the wifes iphone incase mine was on the blink but nothing makes it loud enough to listen to it above half volume. mind you!!! If i have the phone plugged into aux and it rings, thats loud!

felstmeister, have you tried a lead that goes from the dock connector to a 3.5 jack? This is the loudest output you can get from an iPhone/iPod etc?

I find that I am now just making data disks with 10 albums per disk at least, saves messing with the wires etc.

yeah, another forum member sugested that when i first brought the subject up. I brought one but it didn't make any difference. Oh well!! Start burning some cd's

Make sure that you only burn MP3's to the disk, car won't recognise anything that is AAC (tracks bought from iTunes), iTunes will convert any AAC tracks to MP3 for you though.
You can burn a playlist from iTunes as a data cd but then you end up with one folder and hundreds of tracks. I found it easier to create folders outside of iTunes (1 per album) and then burn the data disk with the folder structure. The car then recognises the folders which makes navigation a little easier

What's the name of the lead I need ???

3.5 to 3.5 Jack lead or iphone to 3.5 jack.
