I'd like to do an i-pod adapter install, but my car is leased and so I'd like the parts to be easily removable and leave no trace behind. My idea is to locate it where the CD changer would be and instead of tapping into any connections, use the existing optical fiber ports and power connector intended for the CD changer.
I was looking at the MOBridge install instructions (the Dension it seems would be identical)
http://www.mobridgeinc.com/webfm_send/5 (page 9) which seems straightforward. I opened up the car to take a look, it seems that plastic bracket connector is impossible to remove without damaging it. So first question - has anyone had any luck removing it unscathed, or alternatively, where would you get a replacement bracket if you needed one?
Second question - This one has probably been answered elsewhere, but is the CD power connector a standard connector, and if so, what type is it?
Third question - The MOBridge installation guide says it's not necessary to get the head unit programmed if you have the Bose system, while everyone here says this is essential for the Dension. Since the two units seem virtually identical, how can this be?
Last point, the MOBridge costs over $100 more than the Dension, has anyone used the MoBridge? Any advantage to it over the Dension, other than the possible lack of a trip down to get the head unit programmed.
Thanks.
