Hi, recently bought a 60 plate WRX STI 330s hatchback

Comes with Sat Nav , i have read about that some versions off the Sat Nav cant get Ipod connectivity , is there a way to know without taking it out?

i did read that the 330s sat nav didnt, however it should have bluetooth and phone connection , which it dosnt , making me thinking i might have a 08/09 sat nav in it?

 

The 330S head unit does not have ipod connectivity.
It has bluetooth, but you'll need a mic before it becomes enabled - Subaru will rob approx £140 from you for that though.

What do you mean and 'and phone connection'?

You can connect AUX devices via the centre arm rest too

 

wow, wont be doing that

sorry i meant bluetooth/phone connection (both same thing)

yeh currently i think ill just connect ipod through the AUX and control it like that....

im wondering if its then more cost effective to buy a new doubledin headunit , with satnav/ipod connection/bluetooth etc all built in then? (as to me the standard unit seems a bit dated

 

The standard unit is quite good, satnav/bluetooth, OK ipod connection is missing, but do what I used to do and burn a shed load of mp3's onto DVD.
I had load of albums on DVD, the headunit will recognise folders etc.

You could make your own bluetooth mic

to me the standard unit looks a little bit dated (but that might just be me) ........ short term ill just burn cds/get a RCA jack

long term ill prob get a clarion unit when i can afford it

cheers for the help though , ill get a build thread up soon , need to sell the old car before i can think about anything with the STI lol

 

No problem, I owned a 330S myself for 3 years.
I didn't purchase the mic personally, but the dealer got one from Subaru UK.

Making a connector for a normal mic wouldn't be that difficult though.

Burn DVD's, not CD's
