rickbee Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have one of these fitted to a very similar car. I have some as yet un-resolved issues with it. Specifically a high pitched whine, varies with engine speed, the sort of interference I used to get 30 years ago with ordinary car radios. Its not loud but its audible and ruins the playback of any connected device. The normal radio/cd works as before. I cant answer you other questions sorry, but I would advise to give it a miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy with it. Drilled a small hole in the corner of the cubby beneath the climate control to push the docking cable through. I don't bother using the radio controls (ridiculously complicated) except the steering wheel which advances tracks (I have the MFSW), and I don't have the active dock (don't want my ipod on show). Not sure why you would want the 300 unless you use USB drives. I have got the CD changer retention harness as well. You can get a video cable as well, but you would have to route it to the tv tuner in the boot, which is a pain. The connecter is "audi 20 pin mini ISO" according to my order form (got from Ray Smith Car Hi-Fi, by the way - the cheapest and best advice at the time).

PsYcHe Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 The QuadLock is on newer cars AFAIK (as I discovered when trying to fit the old car kit adapter to the wife's vectra). Should be the ISO connector type on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenamesross Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Ive got one too and pretty happy with it. I too have the whine when the Ipod is playing. Aparently its cos the kit doesnt have a good earth. You can get rid of the whine if you earth the kit to the car instead of the head unit (IIRC). Just havent got round to doing it yet. I did a search on various ice forums and it seems to be a common complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a search on various ice forums and it seems to be a common complaint. It is in indeed quite a comon problem, I found a lot of complaints about whine from Dension in BMW. But, I have yet to find a consistent solution. Dension appear to be no help at all........ I wonder why it whines in one car and not in another?
