Unfortunately this one is NOT for cars with Bluetooth or Bluetooth preparation or cars with Logic 7( they are apparently still working on that one ), and you must have multifunction buttons on the steering wheel
Now the retrofit iPOD kit puts a iPOD connector under the armrest, so the iPOD lies in the llittle tray
A little screen is addded between the 2 vents on the centre of the dashboard ( logic 7 has a speaker here, thats why this doesnt work for it )
You can then controll the iPOD from the steering wheel and read on the screen what you normally read on the iPOD. The sound is then played over the stereo through the new cable that connects to the radio through the AUX IN ( all you see is a small plug in the Aux IN, the IPOD connecor and the new screen )
He says it all looks and sounds very good
AND software is comming to play DVD Mp3's one of these days if you have navigation.
Sorry no pics yet, but kit is ready and should be available soon
