Xcarlink install.
Hey peeps,
Im thinking of buying the xcarlink ipod adapter off ebay. Does anyone know a place in melbourne that would be willing to install it? I know that most places refuse to install products bought off ebay because they think the parts are often dodgey. |

are you putting this on a standard system or a new hd?
most new hd already have the cable for ipods just wire it to your glovebox it shouldnt be very hard to do takes 5 minutes to get to it |

standard bose system. yer i had one of the other ones in my old car. that was easy to pull out. this one is the big factory one though so a lil nervous. lol yes u make a good point about the breaking thing tc3. ill prob have a good look at the instructions when i get the thing and then decide.
i found this alternative to the xcarlink adaptor. its a fair bit cheaper. has anyone got this one? and if so is it any good? http://www.caripodcables.com.au/inde...roducts_id=212 |

if its like my uncles mazda 6 MPS then its not possible
are the controls for aircon heat and cd kinda all in the same big sheet of plastic and the cd player isnt a separate piece? if so you might have to go to mazda and get them to give you the real one but someone on here will have a better idea |
