Hey everyone, I'm new here, so pardon the question on a well-worn topic. I'm considering buying an '06 V50, but I MUST have my iPod. This car has the premium stereo and the built-in changer. Is there any way to hook up an iPod without selling my soul?

What's the latest info?
Thanks,
J

Yes there is. Look at the Dension Gateway 500. You have the right sound system for it (Premium with changer). I am looking to grab one myself. The only problem is they are $400 - $500.

There is a big thread on the topic here on SS.

Thanks Stan. I was looking at the Dension site, and it seems like the premium is the only one they don't support. Here's the link. Do I have this wrong?

Seriously, I'm bummed. I found a car in great condition with low miles locally. And I really like driving it. But I've had cars with iPod hook-ups for like 10 years now. I can't go back. If there's a way to do this on an '06 V50, then I'm in.

Try the Parrot Mki9200 and the correct harness from Dynamic Sound in London, UK.

Looks pretty cool...Do you know if anyone done this themselves? Or just with pro installers?

I think that they have it wrong. See this thread... http://forums.swedespeed.com/showth...on-with-Dension-Gateway-500&highlight=Gateway

Does the Parrot Mki9200 directly interface to the MOST bus?

Thanks for the link. A lot of good info in there. Is it me, or have a lot of people had trouble getting the Dension to work?
