Getting an iPod connecting wire into the glove compartment

One problem I had was getting the steering wheel controls to action the iPod via an Alpine head. We did succeed though.

jsklair:
Not too much of a problem for me; I have DSG paddles, but no audio controls on my wheel.

FYI: This is the head unit I'm getting:

Alpine iDA-X305

Nice! I prefer Alpine to the others - Much better interfaces.

Mine's a combined Audio/SatNav double-din flip-up touch screen etc.

jsklair:
I have to agree on the Alpine interface being the best.

This will be my 3rd Alpine in a row, and they've always exceeded my expectations.

SeanyK:
Why get that head unit, and a seperate bluetooth unit? Costs a fortune!

I've got an Alpine CDE-103BT (think the new model is a CDE-113BT)

It has a built in parrot bluetooth kit, iPod control, and it cost me about £170!


Granted i've not fitted it to my Golf yet, but once I decide what to do with the speakers, it'll be going in im sure :)

Save yourself some money man...
