The reason for trying to retain the NCDC headunits Dave , is because all the trip computer stuff runs through it as well as the sat-nav and on some phone also.
And the fact a GOOD replacement unit is about a £1000 but will not do the trip comp :(

Phew!!!!, Thought you were going mention the Bose option as well, and it would all kick off again (only joking Dave).  :D

Hang on though, if listening via a gayPod, you're already compromising the quality long before it hits the stereo...

True but not by the amount of a phone kit @8w ::)
It sounds ok at the moment via a cassette adapter. I have tried modulators and they sound really bad. Just trying to get the best than can be done.

Don't know about size of amps in the Parrot etc, but have to say sound quality is as good as playing a CD on the head unit and better than an FM adaptor. The volume is controlled by the Parrot not the head unit and goes plenty loud enough without any loss of 'quality'

It has a built in 'equalizer' to adjust sound output, but this isn't massively advanced

As above add another lead and it will all work with the steering wheel controls.

The screen and the controller in the 9200 are seperate items and can be mounted in different places in the car

Simple quick solution and doesn't need any opening up and soldering

Quite a few Oofers are now using my high quality modulators, and so far, everybody has been impressed by them

http://www.dndservices.co.uk/am-88t.html

The Parrot does appear to offer a good solution also, with the added benefits of bluetooth, but will not work with BOSE.

Oh, and for those of you who like BOSE, my modulators work fine with them also -

(See Zirk, I`m even helping those to retain that god awfull BOSE system)

im going down to my local car audio place who sell parrots to have a chat with them........not sure what to do, at this rate i could be tempted to fit a double din unit (high quality one) and pull the ncdc out!


is anyone willing to try and solder in a line-in to the ncdc as that german site details? dave perhaps?!
i could supply the 2013.....

Sorry, from what I have seen of that modification, I would not be prepared to offer that on a commercial basis.

I have to be honest and say thats a pretty amateur mod.

Given the stereo IC in the device has a partialy unused stereo input it would have been more sensible to use that!
