Hi, I have recently bought a Beomaster 1001 and would like to connect my Ipod touch into it. I have seen various cables, DIN to headphone socket, but is there a DIN to Ipod connector ( the one under the Ipod ).

Cheers in advance, David

A member called RIDAX used to offer modifications to the iPod docking stations that would allow the DIN connection to send TAPE commands to the iPod to affect track changes etc

But this was a custom service, not an off the store shelf offering ...

At the back of my mind is a memory of a discussion about some similar offerings from European (German maybe) manufacturers

Try searching the forum for RIDAX and IPOD and see what you find

@elephant: He is referring to a Beomaster 1001. That was a long, long time before Datalink or even remote control - so there's no need to make it that complicated.

I use a Dock and then you can use the Apple remote to work the iPod. Don't tell anyone but I use mine with my Beolab 5000 system when I cannot be bothered to clean the records. I record at a high bit rate so the sound is really not too bad at all!

Thanks for the info everyone, think i'll treat myself to a docking station Cheers, David
