Ipod cable for CDR 220

Has anyone tried this cable? It looks like it will connect directly to the Cd changer 8pin input and then to the dock output of the ipod. Neat, all in one and powers Ipod?

I know Becker has a cable available for the CDr 220 that also cann achieve both audio connection and power charge the ipod via the dock . I was told that the Becker cable was designed for Ferrari but works on the Cdr220 ...also Ferrari prices over 4100 if I recall correctly.

PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THE CABLE IN THE LINK TO CRUTCHFIELD WILL WORK WITH CDR220.

Does anybody know if it will work?? Can power be tapped out of the 8 pin Cd changer input of the Becker CDR220?

Thanks

I ordered this part from Crutchfield a few months ago for my '99 C2. Installation was easy and only took about 20-30 minutes. The cable does not charge the I-pod. The sound quality is great! much better than FM transmitters. I bought a mount from Pro-clip as well. Looks great and sounds great.

It does take the place of the CD changer though.

I installed the following cable in my 2002 C4S : http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1010

It works fine and it does charge the ipod.

First I removed the cd changer.

This cable replaces the cd changer cable in the back of the radio.

Remove the blue plug and replace it with the cable

In order to charge the ipod, you need to plug it on 12v... (marron for ground and orange for +12v so it does not stay on when you turn it off)

Then remove the cd holder to have space and install the cable properly

One nice thing about this cable is that it has a jack so you can plug a garmin that has bluetooth and then your car has bluetooth...

In order to avoid noise (which is really minimal but you may hear it between two tracks) I added a noise filter (12$ from cruchtfield).

One very important thing : when you unplug the cd changer, you may loose (I did) the AUX on the radio... no need to go to Porsche... press the TP button for 8 seconds, then you will access the program menu of the radio, turn on the AUX and you are good to go!

Wow thanks alot. I have been searching for a solution for a while. Sucks when I cant have the Ipod and the GPS plugged into the Cig Lighter at the same time. I will probably do this soon!!!

What do you do if you do not have a CD changer? Buy the way, I went to your link and it says that product is no longer available.

Looks like they've got a new cable available, but it's pricier.

Too bad it says it's not compatible with iPhone. I may try it anyway.
