    Hi all


    Im probably looking to change my car in the next year or there abouts so I don't want to spend too much on an Ipod solution, but I can't live without being able to play iPod in the car.

    I have an MFD2..

    Denison stuff is too expensive .. after install fee, I'm looking close to $300 already!
    And no way I will attempt the install myself.. those plastics are just so fragile after watching youtube vids.


    My options i've thought about:

    a) XCarlink (total $200 ish installed) -
    Can anyone confirm how close the sound quality is to a CD assuming CD quality tracks on the iPhone/iPod?
    How good are the controls if I dont have the extended dash display in my MK5 jetta.

    b) No brand Changer or AUX in - ipod connector?

    Anyone tried something like this?

    c) Just go AUX - 3.5mm connector (cheapest)

    If xcarlink's sound quality not that good, will going a 3.5mm be a bit better without the ipod interface ?

    thanks

      I just use a 3.5 mm connector on my budget rcd300.

      Cheapest option and sounds fine, it will get you through the next year.
      MKV Golf 2.0 TDI DSG Sportline. Just nice.

        But I would still need a 3.5mm interface on my MFD2?

        I don't think there's a 3.5mm input so I'd need an adapter ie. 3.5mm to AUX on the back of my MFD2.. Are they all about the same qulaity wise?
