Tuner List Ipod connection - will CD player still work

Postby d10brp » Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:43 am

Hi,

This may be a silly question but maybe someone can help.

I am thinking about getting one of these http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=VRNX001 in order to connect my ipod to my tuner list stereo through the CD changer input.

First of all, I just have the standard one CD player so will my stereo have a CD changer input?

Also, if I do this, will I still be able to play CDs through the CD player or will the system automatically assume that the CD input comes from the changer (which is now an ipod)?

The tunerlist does have a CD Changer input. It uses the VDO Dayton digital (meaning the audio is in S/PDIF) protocol. Adding a compatible changer (or anything that mimics one) will give you a third source to chose from, so you don't lose the ability to play a CD.

What I would say, is that the unit you linked to will only take the audio, it wont allow for charging or control of the iPod. Connects2, Renault (with the tunepoint) and Dension, along with numerous others do compatible units that will interface direct to the iPod, allowing for charging and control. You might prefer to have one of those...
