iPod Connection to Standard Radio, is it possible?
You need an iPod-CeNet cable, something like
this
. Then you should get an AUX source available and you can fumble around with the standard controls like
this
. However, it's quite limited in functions (only 6 playlists, etc).
Many thanks for a superb response. Unfortunately my car is a 2003, so I think it may be too early a model. There is no aux port, that I can see, but I could be wrong.
AFAIK, they introduced the CeNet in 2001 so you should be covered. There is no physical aux port, just "software": you will select the AUX source when you want to play music from the iPod. Actually, the iPod will appear to your Clarion as a CD changer unit, that's why you get the 6 playlist limitation (because it emulated a 6-disc CD changer).
Considering the cable is quite expensive and you have a 2003 model (pre-face lift, so no rounded plastic corners) you can fit just about any 1-DIN (and use the remaining space for a CB radio perhaps) or 2-DIN unit (chinese all-in-one units with GPS and all whistles & bells).
