iPhone integration.

[Emtee]

I've previously had the Loudlink emulator, which was sort of okay for my iPod, but now I'm after full iPhone integration, so the main requirements are...

Full music integration through the Auditorium system in the car (separate amp)
Hands free phone calls.
Easy (well as easy as possible) cabling.
iPhone charging and storage.

I've been looking at the Parrot Asteroid, which is very well equipped, but there's a fair amount of cabling to install - microphone, GPS receiver and charging cable, and the Oxygen Audio O series, which is a very neat bit of design, but I wonder about obsolescence?

Would be interested to read your comments, experiences, alternatives, etc......

Regards, Miles.

Miles what I would do, is investigate as you are doing but don't commit until you get an iPhone 5 as they are changing the connector.

Good point Matt. Thanks for that.

Resurrecting an old thread...

Miles, did you ever get round to getting a new system, if so, what did you decide to go with?

I'm considering either a Loudlink or Parrot Mki9200 in my 4200.

Been quoted £400 for the Parrot if it's tricky, or £329 if it turns out simpler.
I think ti's a bit rich, so I've invested £15 on a visor kit like my father in law has.
Will get a loudlink or changer cable and a Harman Kardon drive and play for the iPod.

Stick something in your ears, far more simple.

Quad exhausts are favourite ATM. Get a tad warm, though
