Thread: iPod connection in the Puma

Hi dm_td5,

My other half got back last night and I spent most of the day cleaning out half of the Nullarbor that seems to have hitch-hiked back in the Defender! She also managed to stake a sidewall so I guess that tyre is stuffed and I pulled out 3 other largish bits of wood out of two other sidewalls. Here's hoping they are not too bad as I really don't want to be forking out for three new tyres instead of just one, considering we have barely owned the car.

Below are two photos of the Fusion stereo unit. The first one shows how the unit looks fitted with the fascia closed up. The second has the fascia open with the iPod visible on the right side of the unit, nestled in its cradle.

I hope that helps.

Yep, dead easy once you get used to the toggle control - which doesn't take long. Also, we had a remote for the unit thrown in so it is great.

If you are used to an older stereo (like me) it does look a little bit spartan, but then so does an iPod when you think about it! The functionality of the unit is great though, it's just not on show if you follow what I mean.

My other half used it extensively on her trip and loves it to bits. Having the iPod tucked neatly away means one less thing kicking around the cab. We already have the GPS, phone/s, hand held radios and eventually a laptop vying for space in the front as well.

We are still thinking of swapping out the original speakers and maybe putting in an amp as well. Will let you know how we go.
