iPod/iPhone upgrade into Berlina

G'day everyone,

Purchased a VE Berlina on the weekend and i'm loving every bit of it, the only thing letting it down at the moment is the factory headunit/speakers etc.

If anyone on here has already installed one, what's the quality like?

Appreciate any helpful answers I get, cheers!

I've got that exact one. Quality wise, to my untrained ears it sounds better than the Aux input.

So the cord plays music from your iPod/iPhone through your head unit? I'm sold shut up and take my money!

Yep, and also charges the iPod/iPhone - so it's useful. The cord just reaches to fit in where the handbrake would go if it was on the other side (you know what I mean!) and fits in fairly well there.

Only thing is it doesn't draw enough power to properly charge an iPad, but I expected as much!

Is it easily hideable? I want to be able to use it effectively plus have a clean flush look.

I hate having cords just lying everywhere.
