I just received my Connects 2 kit through the post
www.dynamicsounds.co.u...-9851.html
Now I've plugged it all in and It just wont work, the ipod charges but the unit just wont find the 'cd.'
anyone have any experience with this?

Have you pressed the cd multi-changer button on the head unit?

Where does it say no cd? on the iPod or the Head Unit?
The other possibility is the socket connecting to the ipod. My old ipod used to disconnect if I was doing some 'spirited' driving.

I've done everything I can possibility think to get it to work, I've disconnected the stereo as well. I've checked all connections etc.
I've even reformatted my Ipod from HFS+ to Fat32 to see if that made a difference.

Heres a few images so you can see my setup. I've not tried synced with only manual management.

The boxes on the connects 2 stuff are well known in halfords anyway for the boxes being pretty useless Nice when they work though. I thought i was being an idiot one day..I likewise i had a 59 plate Ford Focus, had it to bits, it was charging and I could control the Ipod but i couldn't get it to function through the Ford head unit.

worst customer service ever, and now I've got to wait for them to receive the faulty item before they send me a replacement... Some times I hate internet purchases, so much waiting around.

Try the xcarlink website. I've got one of these units in my accord and I can't fault it. It has room for expansion as well like USB flashdrives and Bluetooth handsfree. It's in the region of £70 for the accord, but I don't know if the pug one is different.
