Interesting thing is that by putting a standard usb/Ipod data cable onto that rear connection, you don't need to use the front at all....
Or that's my take on it......
Will have to look at the online manual later.
Thanks for the pics though - can't wait to see how you get on with it.

Well yes and no...
I would like the functionality of the touch screen IPOD interface, therefore I will need to connect to the front IPOD connection...
However, with the USB you have the ability to plug in a portable HD or USB stick, you can have a huge amount of music movies exc on this - so you can possibly do away with the IPOD...

Not had time to install yet, and doubt i will for a week or 2..
However, here a little taster;
I have purchased an IPOD lead, to connect to the back also, the connector will be led to the glovebox along with the USB port.
I am waiting on an SMA extension cable to extend the DVB ariel to the glove also.

Read the thread... from the beginning ...it answers all your Q's.. :confused:
DanoGTI:
Just had an email back from Oskar -
"We are expecting more units in this week.
They will include the USB from the rear but there are no units yet (And I doubt there ever will be) with rear exit IPOD.
The USB Cable is not compatible with the IPOD interface.
The IPOD connection is compatible with Iphone and IPOD.
Our price including delivery to the UK is US$545.00 . (Via Paypal, Mastercard, Visa or Bank transfer)
We would send via parcelforce (EMS) to save shipping costs and taxes.
Cheers and best regards
Joe Hall (Oskar) "
This does change things slightly, although the price equates to £330 all in.
I need to see one in action now - not sure about the whole thing of front access Ipod. I've got a Touch, which I like to use. So the rear access isn't THAT important, but I don't know really.....
Will have to see what else is out there.
