I have the JBL system, RT4?, anyway it has no Bluetooth, no iPod connection etc. Researching options I have to add these and avoiding a completely new system, I've read about the Dension pro interface. The small print suggests that this works on the c6 but not the JBL- is this true?, has anybody tried it? Does it not work completely?

If this is the case what are my options to install a Bluetooth phone interface and an adapter for an iPod using the steering wheel control etc.?

Did anyone find an answer to this question? I'm going to need a similar fix

You could possibly simply use Mirascripts to enable the output on the back of the head unit and plug a cable in to allow an iPhone or USB stick to play music through the system.

There is a thread on it.

Forum member Rich (Baxter) posted on here about a Parrot kit that did everything needed. It's now in Colin's (colinc) ownership. I collected the car from Rich in Bournemouth and kept it at mine for a few weeks, here in Southampton, until Colin was able to get to me from South Shields.

The installation was lovely; it was discreet and sounded pretty good via the RT3.

I'll see if I can find the posts from Rich...

Paul, only the amp(s) and speakers are James Bullough Lansing -- JBL is now owned by the Harman (Kardon) company, btw. The head units: RT3 & RT4, at least, are Magnetti Marelli, and the CD changer (RT3) is Clarion.

but no images (yet).

Read and digest, I suggest, in order to avoid certain mistakes...
