Is there an Aux input for the APS 30

Bought the Harman Kardon Play and Drive device (heavily discounted and seems to be real bargin if some what complicated to fit) to integrate the iPod to the car stereo.

Although this bit of kit will allow integration to the car stereo via the radio antenna, it also supports line-out in case the car stereo supports an Aux-in function which is supposedly better sound quality than using the radio antenna option.

As I do not have the CD changer in my car, I was wondering if it would be possible to connect the line-out to the CD changer input on the APS 30?

I have never heard of an APS30 with AUX. Only hacks into the main board.

The aux inputs available use the D2B input, they are good but pretty expensive, around €200.
For that sort of price you could buy a nice Becker single din nav unit with a dedicated aux input.

I have just fitted the new Parrot MKi9200 to my car along with a Becker traffic pro. It is similar to the Harmon Play and Drive but takes usb and SD cards and is obviously a bluetooth phone system too.

The Parrot system doesn't need an aux input either, as it has it's own amp.

I have however used the line out on it as I didn't want to dgreade the Becaker/Bose set up. But for those with an Audio 10 and no Bose it would be ideal.

Hi

Am thinking of getting the Parrot System, I thought it would use the the Audio 20's amp (current car radio) . So it use's its own?
What's the sound like?
