I've installed my OEM iPod adapter (very good, but overpriced) so I can now play my iPod through the headunit and control it from the steering-wheel stalk.
The problem is I didn't want the lead going into the glovebox. I've currently wired it into the small coin-tray behind the handbrake cable.
Obviously this is far from ideal, so I'm wondering how good those aftermarket arm-rests are?
I remember having one back in the day which I never installed, but was disappointed with the quality.
Anyone got any recommendations?

Peugeot sold one as a add on. There about £80 from Peugeot. See if your local dealer has one.

Niall, I like the OEM stuff for quality / fitment but £80 is a bit steep I feel. Have you got a picture / link / part number?
4Way, Looks alright, how does it attach to the car though?

On the subject of armrests, anyone know if it'd be difficult to bodge the Golf one into a 306? I wont sell it if it can be done lol.

I dunno man, maybe try and find someone who has an almighty Golf with an armrest and have a look?
You'll struggle to find parts though. Golfs are incredible and never break down, which is why you don't get them in breakers yards. Honestly I don't know why everyone doesn't just drive a Golf.

It's a Connects2 CTAPGIPOD010.2
Cost £49 which is expensive, but I managed to sell my old clarion tape deck, cd-changer and loom for £38 so it didn't really cost me anything.
I just like that I don't have a gawdy aftermarket unit there and can control it all from my steering wheel. Oh and it charges too
