MP3 options
- Thread starter Mike IRL

Mike's is a pre-facelift, pre-MOST car, so the Mobridge might not be compatible. I know Denison make an interface for iPod, but not sure about other MP3 players.
Personally, I'd change the head unit for something that is compatible. Probably cheaper and more effective. You can always keep the CDR21/22 to put back in the car when you sell it, if you want to retain originality.

Hi
if youve got a CDR21, you could get a solisto box, which replaces the cd changer, and allows you connet an Ipod direct, with all controls from the radio
Ive got one fitted to my becker 4720, works great - costs about £100 and dead easy to fit
Jon
ps bought mine direct from them at www.solisto.de

If you've got a CDR-21/22, all you need is to connect a lead with Stereo 3,5mm Jack plug on one end, and 2 phono sockets on the other. (or a phono to jack converter). Connect the phono end to the CD preparation phono plugs, and the jack plug to your MP3. Use a long enough cable and you can run it in to the car and have full control.

The Solsto is good you can connect ipod and charge plus you get a 3.5mm plug for MP3/Nokia 95
As John said it's easy to fit, plug and play, it replaces the multichanger.

[8D] Mark are you saying that if I have the prewiring for a cd player then I don't need the Solisto box? I have a Porsche CDR-22 in my 996.
I guess that if I use an I-pod instead of an MP3 then I'll need the Solisto, is this box fitted in the same place as the cd changer would go or is it fittted inside the car, finally is this a DIY job or will I need my local ICE guy?
Many thanks
