Turning an ipod into a visteon cd stacker

I used to fix car audio gear about 10 years ago. When having a stacker was just THE BEST! :D

From memory in the stacker cable there were (along with others) 4 audio wires L-+ and R-+. So if you picked up those four wires from the cable and tricked the headunit into thinking a stacker was connected (otherwise your headunit would just skip the stacker option) then I can't see why you couldn't use that as an input.

Start tinkering!

I've got one fitted to the 110 & it works a treat... I control the iPod as though it's a CD stacker, which means that I can also drive it using the remote control unit I have with the stereo. Perfect if you don't want to drag your CD collection around with you!

Thanks very much for this info camel_landy.

I looked up the Denison website and got an e-mail contact of the closest distributor (somewhere in NZ). So I sent off an enquiry and today got a reply saying that they don't have anything to suit a Land Rover.:(

So I am wondering if you could get back to me with the brand/model head unit you are running (Visteon?) and which Denison unit you have hooked up to it please?

Thanks in advance
Peter

I use a Sony head unit...

The Dension products have changed a bit since I bought mine as they now have much more to offer. Mine was known as the "ICE>Link" but it now looks as though that has become the "ICE>Link Lite" with the active cradle.

Hi knp,

Did you ever manage to get a solution to your problem? I too have the Visteon 6500 and want to connect my iPhone to it to play music.

My old D1 used to have a line-in socket on the front, which would have been perfect.

Cheers
