I had an I trip for my old I pod but living in london there are so many stations that it never worked satisfactorily.

Think I would only do it if there was a line in of some sort on the stereo pins...

I think the Denison Link "hijacks" the OEM interchanger input and uses that.

Or buy an Alpine 9850Ri with full speed Ipod link for

Thanks Mikey k, The alpine looks like a good call especially as it is not much more than the denison and seems much better featured.

Will the quality of this head unit's sound be better than the standard head unit?

Also I have heard that some Alpine head units are compatible with the standard s2000 remote is this one?

Thanks for your help

Your Welcome

THe HU has miles better sound quality than the OEM.

If you also get a KCE865B the dash control work as per normal.

I have got a modifry interface. It is far better than the Apline one but takes a bit more wiring. But it does allow folder search and speed dependant volume.
