Volvo S40 / V50 2005 AUX MP3 Griffin Tuneflex IPOD Touch

I bought FM transmitter and it really sucks cuz all frequencies are already taken....wtf...

I really love my S40 2004 but I travel and I need to get my ipod with good quality there, any ideas?

This solution works for the S40II / V50 MY2004, too. This is the cheapest way to realize a crystal clear sound from ipod in the S40 / V50.

The expensive but probably easier(?) way is to buy a "dension gateway" for 400 bucks, for which you must have the original volvo cd changer installed, when you haven´t one yet.

@4eversr all FM frequencies are taken up so it doesnt work at all :S

@JanBirsa This / my solution does not use any fm frequencies. I soldered a real AUX input to the Volvo amp in the trunk. (All "fm transmitter"-solutions don´t work stable, because all frequencies are taken, like you said already.)

how did you secure it so it doesnt wobble around and is just held by the one wire:?

@ianlangerz

To make this clear: Did you understand that this whole holder construction is the "Griffin Tuneflex Aux Smartclick" itself ?

I just mount it with a "cable tie" inside the dashboard, so that only the flexible neck of the holder is visible outside - To power the Griffin with current i installed a second "cigarette lighter receptacle" in the dashboard where the Griffin is plugged in. This construction gets its power from beneath the main "cigarette lighter".

hallo, wie haben Sie den Halter auf das iPhone zu halten? Könnten Sie ein vid / Bilder?

hi, how did you mount the holder to hold the iphone? could you provide a vid/pictures?

@ianlangerz

The Griffin Tuneflex (<- the holder) is hided completely inside the dashboard and fixed with one wire strip. This is possible at my volvo s40, because i have no factory-installed navigation system, so there is a lot of free space inside the dashboard where normally the navigation system is positioned.

Was ist das für eine Navi-Halterung für das TomTom ?

@2010kusa

Das ist die von mir selbst umgebaute Original-TomTom Halterung. - Den Saugfuss Abschrauben und an seiner Stelle ein dünnes Blech anschrauben, dass zwischen den Schlitz der Lüftungsdüsen passt. (In meinem Fall ne PCI-Slotblende aus dem PC-Bereich) - Schon ist alles bis auf die Halterung selbst unsichtbar...
