I-Pod/I-Phone connection to standard BOSE Unit?

Hi everyone,

 

04 plate 350Z-GT

I am sure someone knows the answer to this, I am looking at getting an Ipod of Iphone and wonder if this can be connected somehow to the standard ZED BOSE Headunit. I am not bothered with fancy displays on head units just wonder if they can interact? Is there a simple AUX cable I can connect from the back of the head unit as I havent had it wout of the dashboard yet therefore don't know what the back connectors are like for MP3 player connections.

 

Also does anyone presently use an Iphone through the bluetooth phone kit in the car? Does it work ok?

 

Cheers everyone appreciate your comments and help on this one,

Larsdowg

Hi,

 

I have Dension unit that is hardwired into a fm channel so no interference like the fm transmitters can give you. Works great with my Iphone 3g and the bluetooth connection works great too as long as your not driving about 60mph as the cabin noise can get a bit loud.

If you do a search on here, you will find loads of info, but to make it short you can either:

- get an iPod FM transmitter

- modify the Bose tapedeck to an AUX input

- buy an aftermarket HU with iPod connection

 

cheers for the reply

 

what do you mean by:

modify the Bose tapedeck to an AUX input?

 

Can you buy something that will plug in or....... well I don't know what to ask really. Not to up on non-standard kit in Cars apart from upgrading speakers :blush: (but not in the ZED!!)

 

cheers

Nissan Main Dealers do an aux connection to the Bose Unit. Part costs around £60 + fitting. There are other superior alternatives though mentioned above :thumbs:

 

Interesting, got any details on this?

 

Just going to see if I can find the accessory book with the part number in :thumbs:

Interested to hear if anyone has found the Part Code for the Nissan Aux Lead connection, and details of how easy it is to fit. I've tried 2 dealers and Nissan Customer Services direct, and they didn't seem to know (or care!). Now I understand what everyone means about the quality of customer service!!

 

As a quick fix I bought a cassette adaptor from Argos - part 534/2488 - £9.97. Looks like a normal cassette, but with a thin black lead coming from one corner. This lead hangs out of the front of the BOSE tape player and has an AUX connector for I-pod. Obviously it won't charge your i-pod or control it (volume works via radio & steering wheel as normal), but for simple playback through the BOSE system it seems fine (for £9.97!). The lead is long enough to reach the storage compartment above the stereo, and thin enough for the pull-down door to close over it, so it's not as untidy as it may sound!

This code was supplied to me by my Nissan Dealer, further to my e-mail to them asking the question. PM me if you are still interested and will give you names of people to talk to on this :thumbs:
