After many hours of research, cant decide the easiest way to get Mp3 / USB into the car, as Am is no existent, so not talksport, and there are only a few FM stations that are not just playing news all the time, so although the v8 sound track is a good sound option,Mp3 is the next option.

Been researching the Connects2 option and Dension Gateway, but wondered is there a unit out there that anyone has had success with that mounts in the boot, at the end of the CD Changer system etc (as my cd changer doesn't work anyway) so I don't have to pull the Nav Head Unit out or pull the dash to pieces.

cheers in advance.

Xcarlink under the trim next to handbrake.

It's very easy to get the head unit out with the proper release tools (couple of quid on eBay).

One of the above? Also nokia used to have an FM transmitter built into their phones. I'd imagine you can get ones for Android/Ios phones too. That's the easiest way I'd have thought.

Easy but <beep> sound quality.

+1 to Xcar Link - easy to fit (even I managed it!) and excellent quality. Allows Ipod or similar to be stored in arm rest where it's easy to get at to change tracks etc.

Gives you 4 playlists and track skip/replay fromn head unit.

Also gives you bluetooth for phone and a 3.5mm jack for other sources.

Cheers all.

I know the head unit comes out with the correct tools, but wanted to house the unit if \I bought one out of the way in the boot, and the cd changer wire is already there I guess.

Xcarlink here too. Mine is connected via a desk docking station mounted just in front of the gear lever. I removed the ash tray. I've only got a little one though.....the iPods small too...so it doesn't get in the way of the heater controls. Get the Bluetooth one and it gives you hands free phone as well.

Why?? Is it more convenient to climb into the boot to change tracks on the MP3 player?

Didn't want to cable into the glove box that's all. When I had a MP3 unit before it was boot mounted, and changing tracks was done via head unit, so no boot crawling ;0)

Wouldn't surprise me if it was the same unit rebranded.

might be worth a punt.

I've got a connects2 in my skoda, works perfect and easy to install and use. Just ordered one for the Audi too.
