Smile i pod connection

well i was told i couldnt attatch an i pod through my standard 2003 double din head unit, but i found a kenwood interface connector that plugs in to the cd changer controls at the back of the hu and works perfectley. you can change tracks etc through the hu,no names come up on the hu screen only numbers of the track also it just plays through in alphabetical order (havent played around with it yet )It also charges the i pod ,it was a lot cheaper and easier than changing the hu only took about 20 mins.i got mine from halfords off the shelf for £49.90 part no kca ip 500. happy days

got one of these myself - it just plugs into the multichanger DIN plug on the back of the HU. I cant get track names up either but I just set it shuffle, I can scroll through albums but it only does the first 10 then goes back to No.1 - not good when you've got 300+ on the ipod...

im sure they are the same,just have a look in your manual if a multichanger can be plugged in then so can this.
