I quite like my Bose headunit, mainly because I haven't really had any issues with it.
I did have a FM Transmitter, but it was pants, especially with a stubby aerial.
I purchased a Belkin casette adapter and even though many warned away from the cassette adapter, I found that the sound was fine for my liking.
The only thing that actually bothered me, was the fact that I had a cable coming out of my tapedeck and it made it look quite naff.
I decided today that it was time to do something about it and get off my lazy arse and try and tuck it away.
Here's what I used:
Belkin cassette adapter and the standard Bose HU
I inserted the adapter before removing the HU, which would make it easier to route the cable later.
I spotted a suitable hole on the bottom of the HU which I deemed suitable for my endeavour, because I could see the tape deck door/flap through it.
Then I loosened all the clips that held the fasia panel and lifted it
Luckily for me, the 3.5mm plug just fit through the hole I chose
Then put it back together
HU back in the car, I was thinking where to actually put the cable and iPod.
rear cubby was the answer, but the existing cable was too short
So I purchased an extension cable (3m with gold plated connectors for £9.99)
Connected it one end and tidied the cable somewhat
Removed all the bolts that hold the tunnel down and routed the cable to the rear cubby
Cut the hole in the baseplate a little bigger so that all the wires could fit thru
Quick check that it all works ok
And there you have it, iPod connectivity on the cheap and no wires visible in the cabin, yay!
