After two days of trying to remember what I wanted to ask on here it just came back to me. Basically I want to hook up an ipod to my car stereo to listen to as oppose to charge, theres no ports for it so I need to get someone to have a look at it who's up on these kind of things. Does anyone know anyone who does this stuff…

There has been a somewhat related thread on this in the past, I think Derek Duggan was mentioned in it: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=74785221

There are a number of self-install options too ranging in level of difficulty and price. One of the easiest options is to replace your stereo (if possible) with an aftermarket stereo with a line in on the front. Can be gotten for anywhere from €50 and up. Halfords seem to do a reasonable range and fit for around €30 I think. http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmd?catalogId=15551&storeId=11101&categoryId=212600&langId=-1&action=listrefine&constraints=fra%7C%7CPrice%7C%7C0.0%7C%7C100.0%7C%7Cteq%7C%7CFront+AUX%7C%7CYes%7C%7Csor%7C%7CPrice%7C%7C1

Depending on the type of car/stereo these can also be fairly straightforward to fit yourself.

Might get a better answer from the Motor Heads in the Motor Forum, id imagine they would have a more accurate answer? Try asking Davy Duggan, Halfords or Deeveys
