Ipod connection Non Premium Sound

[Redback]

Is there an iPod connection in the cubby box or is it only in the premium sound, and if it is in the Non Premium, will this charge the iPod or will it only run it.

Baz,
Speaking for only 10 & 11MY's if you have the Sat Nav (& only if you have the Sat Nav) you should also get a curly cable that connects in the centre cubby box at the rear (inside) that should charge & be able to communicate with your system.
This all depends on the software in your phone/ipod etc etc.

The 12MY vehicle does not have a cable at all, it relys on Bluetooth connectivity & the customer to supply his own cable to charge his own phone.

HTH.

No there is not... But there is an AUX port at the rear of the console and a charge point.

Hey Mike, how do we access this, we have an ipod cable from our old radio, could we use this, I'm assuming that these are a genetic cable plug??

Sniegy recommended I look at this:

LiquidAUX for iPod & iPhone (http://www.smartmadesimple.com.au/Products/15007680/LiquidAUX-for-iPod-and-iPhone.htm)

Works well.... And the wheel mounted remote is handy :)

Cable required is 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable.. ABout $10.00 at DSE

OR the LiquidAUX unit...

At the back of the centre console cubby box - in the back seat area under the A/C outlets but above the cup holders. There is a fold cover over the socket and rear 12v outlet.

The 2012 spec has both Bluetooth and ability to hard wire an iPod plus a separate USB which will play off a thumb drive or other smartphone. They did away with the built-in curly iPod cord, now have the socket so you supply own cord ( ie easy to replace now). When hard wired, can browse music collection via console screen and steering wheel controls, it also charges the iPod/ phone. Good system but not perfect. Need to physically unplug/ replug iPod if you switch off and restart the car. An irritating niggle.
Mine came with 11 speakers although not sure if this is standard spec now.
Scary-good-sick sound!
The separate USB connection will charge my wifes HTC phone.

Hi guys,

I've recently picked up a 7/2011 TDV6 Disco 4 with the standard sound system and have been researching for iPod / iPhone / iPad charging and sound connection.

Seems I need a male to mae 3.5mm stero cable to use the jack on the iThingy and the jack behind the middle console, as well as couple of dual USB car chargers @ 2amp plus per port?

Does that sound right?

Are there any USB ports in console? My 2010 RRS had the curly hard wired cable for IPOD but later car just had two USB ports, that you can connect anything you like (including IPOD or phone) to. The car has non premium sound.

Not sure what you mean but I don't have that niggle. I have 2012 and my iPod works fine starting and stopping the car. Track you were playing starts off at the exact place you were at when you switched off. In the three years I've had it, the system has got horribly confused on just couple of occasions after I've taken a phone call and I had to switch off stereo, re boot iPod but it has been pretty much perfect.

FYI I have a classic iPod in the car plugged in at all times for music. My iphone charges on the other usb connects via Bluetooth and is not used as an iPod in the car, just as a phone.

This is exactly the system that I have in mine - but like James, I also don't have any problem with having to unplug/replug the iPod when I switch off an re-start the car. My iPod lives in the car these days and is never unplugged. I've had no problems with the system at all (and the iPod is always fully charged on the odd occasion that I do remove it from the vehicle).

The USB port next to the iPod port in the cubby can also be used to charge other mobile phones if you have the correct cable - have done this more than once. ;)

Yes - you can do it that way. I use a Jaycar twin USB power adapter - has one 2.1A USB and one 1A, which suits my needs.

Then I use this cable:

My MY10 is the same as BMKal's and others.


it charges the Ipod classic but wont charge an Iphone 4 but will play the music from an Iphone 4, I think you can buy an adaptor from the apple to charge the phone but I only use it for my Ipod. it always stays connected no need to plug it in each time.

Must admit I've never attempted to charge an iPhone using this connection. My iPhone 5 sits in a dash cradle that has its own power supply and also connects to the aerial on the bulbar. Phone connectivity with the vehicle stereo / phone control system is wireless, regardless of whether the phone's in its cradle or in my pocket.

We have charged other phones using the USB connector in the cubby box though. Have plugged both the wife's Blackberry and a work colleague's Samsung in there and both have charged without problem. Don't know if you can charge an iPhone from this connection.

I run my iPod through one USB and charge my iPhone 5 with the other one.
