IPOD connection to 2006 Disco 3

Hi,
I have a 2006 Disco 3 "gs" model- It has an aux button but no input to it-does anyone have any ideas about the best way of connectiong my IPOD other than with an FM transmitter

You can pick up a 3.5 mm connection and wire it into a point in the passenger footwell, which utilizes the AUX button, and then work your pod off the headphones jack
There is pictures and threads in here about it somewhere

Alternatively I think TFC does a neat and nifty install

The best way would be to get the Ipod interface - which allows limited control via the steering wheel controls and has the best sound quality

The litle socket at the rear of the front central cubby box, is this for ipods?

If I could do it, it was easy peasy, just don't drill holes in the wrong place in the top glovebox like I did! Rolling Eyes

I bought one off fleabay last year - fairly cheap too. it has a retractable wheel in the middle to keep cable tidy but gives good length so you can view ipod whilst driving if needs be. Bought one of this non slip pads then and just keep it on top of the cubby whilst travelling and throw it in the cubby when parked up.


Sound is good enough, you'll have to have the volume jacked up on your ipod

The Ipod kit will deffo give best sound and nicest fit etc. TLO supplies at good discount to site members(see above),

I hesitate to take bread out of TLO's mouth, but have you considered the Harman Kardon Drive+Play, a quantity of which is being sold cheaply on eBay? See this thread for details.
