Good Car Audio shop in Perth?
I'm chasing a specific Ipod adapter (Denison) for my car. There are a few types out there, but as far as I know Denison are the only ones that make one that shows artist/track on the stereo display. Anyone know of any decent Car Audio shops that would stock and possibly fit Ipod Adapters. (Not FM Transmitters). I went to a place in J'loop and he looked at me blankly when I mentioned Ipod adapter. I also phoned Stratfield and the 14 yr old on the phone was pretty clueless.

Thanks mate, but I don't think they display artist/ track title. And it only lets you use 5 playlists. The Denison actually displays artist name and song title which is pretty handy with a big Ipod. They're not cheap though $400. |

Yea more the stereo. All the Alpine one's I've had with I-pod control have been full speed and used the standard Alpine cable. Track/Album/Artist show on the screen in that order. If you get one with a screen it will show everything at the same time as well as the pic of the cover so long as you already have it on the I-pod of course.

yeah i don't think it will be cheap. You may be better off getting a new head unit that already has IPOD connectivity e.g Alpine. The only reason I'm not doing that is because I want to keep the interior stock. I'll let you know what I end up doing anyway and let you know costs. I think the Denison allows you to hook up external flash and hard drives too, which is pretty awesome. |

yeah the xcarlink does that too but i guess it depends on the stereo whether the title/artist will be displayed. I too wanted to keep the OEM look, let us know how you go
