Hi Everyone I think I have to start by apologising as I have been dormant on this forum (or trolling as some would say!!) whilst I deliberated on whether to change my Nissan 350z for an MPS In the end I went for a MkII White 3 MPS I was meant to collect it today but annoying I woke up with mega pain in one of my ankles rendering me immobile! Hopefully tomorrow will be the day I go and fetch her providing the pain and swelling subsides as the cause of the problem according to the docs is the new pair of timberland boots I bought over xmas period! (How annoying! I liked those boots too) Will hopefully post some pics up when I take ownership of the car!

Thanks all! Just one quick question (and yes I am well accustomed to using the search facilities) but I have been searching for infromation regarding ipod interface for the MkII MPS. Anyone care to point me in the right direction for the cost of this and perhaps installation instructions?
I dont belive they have a ipod connector/charger as standard so looking to install one at some point

Most people tend to fit something like a XCarLink. Try searching for that, should be a few pages.

Look forward to hearing how it compares to the 350Z as I wanted one before the MPS, but due to insurance and only having 2 seats I never looked too much into it!

There isn't alot in it TBH between the Zed and MPS. The Zed is a purebred driving machine and it great to drive but as with most rwd you need to treat it with respect because if you dont it just spells disaster! Oh and the 3.5 V6 note is to die for! I think to own a 350 you would need another car as that is the reason why I opted for MPS. I never drove the 350 about much because unless your crowd consists of uno then you find it a hinderance. The plus side is your nobodies taxi!

It works pretty well you can control most of functions and it displays track info on MID but there is a small delay. Where abouts in the country are you?
