In car MP3 in a Tamora/T350

[maddog[uk]]

Anyone fitted any systems?

The questions I have is does the standard head unit have an aux in? Also what model is it?

Also has anyone tried a www.dension.com system in a Tamora or T350?

Haven't seen this model, but I do have an empeg (car mp3 player) which I will be installing in my T350 when I get it next month.

Instead of getting an mp3 setup just get an ipod and itrip and play it through your radio.

Hi maddog,

There was only one model (just different hard-drive sizes), but they're not made anymore, although there is still a 2nd hand market for them. Try http://empeg.comms.net/

Nice idea unlicensed, but have you actually tried this set up? I have and I have to say the quality is godawful! Basically like listening to a really bady tuned radio.

I use my iPod but I got a breakout cable fitted to the AUX ins on the head unit. Then the little cable comes out of the underside of the dash under where the stereo is mounted - i plug the iPod in and leave it sitting in the little scoop out where the ash tray is.

I would agree about the iTrip - cute but quality suffers a bit.

Havent tried it myself, but from what Ive heard it works pretty well.

I went the Itrip route and it's crap.

ended up with a Kenwood MP3 head unit.

much better.

I just had a look on the Pioneer web site and they have an MP3 compatable head unit. Should be easy to fit too.

Doesnt the T350 roll out of the factory with an MP3 compatible Pioneer head unit?

Compatible in so far as it will read CD's with MP3's on...

My Tamora just has a basic CD player.

The MP3 player was an extra over the basic head unit

You could have a look at an Alpine HDA-5460 (16 GB)
