The Xcarlink all in one interface combines all of the features of our iPod/iPhone and USB/SD interface into one. This gives you the flexibility to connect and control any audio device whether it be your iPod/iPhone or an entire music library on a USB/SD card. You can also use the controls on your factory radio or navigation to switch between the devices. This interface is ideal if you have an iPod or iPhone but you do not have all of your music on it and allows all users of the car with different devices to take advantage of the interface.


Just like our iPod/iPhone and USB/SD interfaces, the USB/SD/iPod all in one interface emulates a CD changer. Simply connect the interface to the CD changer port on the back of your radio and connect your iPod, iPhone, USB stick or SD card to your factory car stereo system without any loss of sound quality!!
