Thread: Ipod connection Non Premium Sound

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

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?
