seen in the auto express lastweek sony are bringing one out the front flips down and you put your iphone inside they are doing away with discs

Anything with a headphone socket connection you have to control it using the iphone itself.

just got a JVC 830 and it does it all, it has a USB output that goes into glove box, pop a normal IPOD on and you get same view as on the IPOD,

As for Iphone Bluetooth built in maps phone for Hands free as for Music, not tried to be honest but box says Ipod n Iphone so most probably the same.

Check out the Sony Ipod compatible range, model numbers end in UI. I'm very tempted by the CDX-GT930UI at the moment, but they do other models with the USB input on the front

one with a proper dock would be cool

Littleted

Why would you want it on the front and have wires all over :/

I have enough with tom tom draped LOL

The JVC also takes USB keys on the IPOD USB Lead i,ll go test for you now brb

Littleted

OK the USB doesntt work with the Iphone its for USB keys and Ipod only,

The Bluetooth connects to the Iphone and Streams the music so better i think.

The interface for these are the same as the Ipod in you get playlists etc.

Got a Pioneer AVIC 700 BT.
It's got satnav, Parrot Bluetooth, rear microphone port, aux in on the front, ipod lead which can play music or video from the iPod.
It's touchscreen and has a clickwheel representation of the ipod's own clickwheel.

I've just got myself (this morning) a JVC KW-NT3.

6.1" touch screen, superb satnav, built in Parrot, stream music from iPhone over bluetooth, charge iPhone/iPad/iPod via the front access USB port, watch DIVX movies - the job lot.

All in one unit - so much better than my Kenwood that blew up.

Deciding factor for me was the front screen is removable (totally)

Only problem with that mate is - which pocket does a double DIN face off go in?



No mate, the 700 and 900 made it to the UK. I bought the 700 second hand - they're not made anymore. Nice bit of kit though. Fitted it this weekend.

Laptop bag, wifes handbag, any decent jacket has a nice deep inside pocket. And at home, it lives on the shelf

kenwood do a new range which do work with the 3gs * you must check this if you have a 3gs as others that are 'iphone' capable mainly do 3g only* so just beware.

I am after the Kenwood KDC-BT60U which iphone connects to & your able to make/rec calls through it etc & it can do the a2dp bluetooth which carries audio from iphone to it so it does not have to be even wired to it. Which is a bonus as i have a cradle for me phone which charges it etc so im hoping i can just stream the music to it

Also it can connect through a lead which is an optional extra

That's what the NT3 does - it's £50 cheaper, can play DivX and has removable front

Has Bluetooth Parrot built into it, single unit etc etc the satnav is second to none too. Very good all round!

i'v got one of these and love it http://www.clarion.com/gb/en/product...403594575.html
No adapter box required. Just connect the USB cable that’s included with your iPod to the Clarion source unit’s rear USB input and you get complete control of your iPod including genre/album/song title search using the iPod’s control wheel, with high quality sound reproduction through the car speakers. The same connection can also be used to play back audio files stored on USB memory

Recently fitted a Kenwood DDX 4028BT - http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk...ers/DDX4028BT/

Full Bluetooth interface for iPhone & music, or Front USB for iPhone/iPod video & music via KCA iP22F - http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk...ies/KCA-iP22F/
Second rear USB which i've routed through the glovebox.

You can add extensions for NAV, front & rear cameras etc.

Can't recommend enough!

Completely agree.

I had one fitted today, and it's a great bit of kit.
