    Hello Folks,
    My 599 has the Bose system with CD changer. Is there a way I can adapt an iPod connector to it? Or, is there an aux port on the back of the radio/nav system?

    Thanks,
    Carson

    you can install the ipod-cable, but then you cant use the cd-changer anymore. i had the cable installed via my ferrari-garage, was an easy thing to do.

    Be aware that the std Becker ipod cable will work but you'll have to move the microphone pins over from the existing plug also the repeat of the Nav turn signals, audio, telephone info etc on to the Dash display will not work.

    I'd guess to make it work you need the original Ferrari cable, no doubt somewhat more than the Becker branded item :)........unless somebody has a fix?

    Thanks for the replies on this thread.

    Yes, I'd be interested in the cables. Are they easy to install and do you have instructions? Or, is it better to take it to the dealer?

    Thanks,
    Carson

    Thank you Mark. Acknowledged. I think I'll let the dealer handle it. All the best, Carson

    it's not so bad the two cables you need are £270 in the UK so not too expensive

    Is this the same system as an 05 612?
