iPod in B5 armrest

Post by 64 SPLIT »

Fitted my Sony headunit into my 'ssat at the weekend along with the iPod adaptor that allows the headunit to control the iPod from the headunit.

It uses the Sony XA 110iP - so if your Sony headunit is older than 2006 range or doesn't have an AUX input etc. and you don't want wires hanging out the front of your HU its a cheap way of hooking up your iPod without having to resort to crappy tapeplayer adapters or radio transmitter gubbins - as it wires directly in to the back of the HU using the CD player jack.

The iPod fits perfectly in the armrest (I have mine in a carry case too for added protection and a nice snug fit) - so is hidden out of sight and the wires are easy to route down through the armrest pillar, and the adapter box fits perfectly under the plastic/rubbery tray next to the handbrake.

Anyway - just thought I'd share that in case anyone is looking to do something similar. :)
