Can this be done using the audio cable provided and is it worth doing?

IVe just removed the head unit to see whats there and I guessmy new question is is there an aux input into the symphony and if there is how do you switch to it?

The Symphony has no aux in so you have two options I guess Paul.

1) Buy a Connects2 type kit which will sit inline with the cd changer and route your audio in there

2) Buy something like what Parrot use that mutes the radio and plays the audio out the car speakers

Neither option really are ideal, but that's about all I can come up with!

Can the 910 stream audio out via Bluetooth?

If so, would a parrot kit (which can also be used for your phone) paired up to TomTom work?

Thanks Rich. Ive spoken to connect 2 an they dont do anything specific. Tom Tom have just launched (still limited availability) an FM transmitter mount which solves most of the issues, so ive ordered one. Watch this space.

Rich - similar question to Paul's.

Do you know if there's a way of feeding the sound from a Navman F20 into the car's audio system (Symphony & CD changer)?

All of the above applies to anything you want to feed into your existing ICE really, be it mp3 player, tomtom, ps2, etc :)

:) My TomTom fm tranmitter mount arrived yesterday upgraded the software and it works brilliantly. MP3's through the car stereo, hands free phone and sat nav instruction mute music. A good solution.

I can't see how to get an 'Audio Out' feed from the F20 though.

Paul, excellent news, any chance of some photos of the gadget?

Simon, this could be a problem then :) Does it have a headphone socket or bluetooth?

I don't think it has either Rich. All I can find is a memory card slot, a mini USB port and an external antenna socket. It might be possible to solder some wires onto to the built-in speaker feed but obviously that would invalidate the warranty.

I don't know if the mini USB port is any use - it's probably just for power feed.

EDIT: I just found this accessory http://www.navman.com/Navman/Templates/productinformation____69030.aspx
