Default Is this the correct AMI that I need for a D3?

Hi, I was just preparing myself for any additions I would like to add after I buy a D3. Am I right in thinking this is the correct bit of kit for a 2005/2006 model?:

Thanks

Ok thanks. I did check previous threads, but wasn't quite sure. I'll see if TPS can give me a better price.

Also on the D3 models with TV Tuner. I was wondering if anyone would know how hard or easy it would be to add an aux source. I recall reading a thread about a triple phono cable that has to be connected. Is the location in the boot?
It looks something like this:

its easy , just a bit fiddly on the left side compartment in the boot

undo the two bolts holding the dvd nav drive and drop it down, then add that cable in to the correct pins of the big 20 pin connecta on the tuner

worth doing both inputs while your there though

Ok thanks, that's brilliant. I think after the AMI and the AUX video inputs, I'd be happy with the ICE. I'll see if I can run the RCA's to the compartment under the arm rest.

can do , depends on what you want to plug in, for simple video you are better of installing something like the veba dvd and sd/usb device in the boot and using remote

Definitely with getting the 2 inputs and the output too while you're in there, just in case.

if your putting all 3 in though, all connector cables are not made equal, some use thicker wires than others which makes getting the connector cover back on afterwards really difficult.

The kufatec ones are slightly expensive, but reasonably thin from memory.
