Hope someone here can help with this, I've been through nearly every relevant post and search but can't work it out.
I'm in the process of getting a Shark Grey/black roof 1.6 petrol Dstyle+ on 3 year finance (wanted Carmen roof but I'd have had to wait 8-10 weeks for it, and they couldn't have guaranteed the finance would be the same price).
The car won't have the HiFi upgrade, so basically I was looking at my options for connecting my iPhone 4S for music. For Christmas one year I got my dad a Connects2 adapter for his 05 Scenic. For those not familiar it's a small box that connects to the [unused] CD changer socket in the back of the standard head unit, with an iPod connector out the other side to feed out wherever you want it. Because it acted as a virtual CD changer the sound quality is as good as the speakers can make it as the sound is completely digital from the iPhone to the head unit, with zero noticeable loss of quality. The display shows something like CD 1/Track 1, CD 2/Track 1, etc., which doesn't matter because the iPhone is the display. Also the steering wheel controls still work to skip track, play/pause, etc.
Naturally I was looking at the same option for the new DS3 but I can't work out whether its possible. From what I've read on here there are a certain number of (expensive) options, some of which needed to be requested when ordering the car, or activated by a dealer. Also, it doesn't seem as simple as to whether the steering wheel controls would still be able to control the music (nothing fancy, just skip forward/back, pause, etc.).
However to me it just looks like a standard Peugeot/Citroen head unit, which means that the Connects2 device would just plug straight into the back as in my dad's car: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro..._id/17210.html.
So is it that simple, or am I missing something?
