  Could you explain what the internal MP3 connection is? Does it fit older or newer iPhones? Or is it an AUX or USB connection? Hard to see in the pics.

• Q:

  Why is the RETRO package sold at so much more than the $875 for a new system, when it uses the old wiring? I should think it would be that much cheaper!

  A:

  The RETRO system requires update frames which add cost as well as more engineering to work with older intercom wiring.  The I2000 system does not include new wiring or labor to do so.

• Q:

  We have a Nutone 3003 series intercom system in our house. Master with 6 room speakers. It appears that electric current is going to the master and 5 of 6 room speakers but the unit no longer actually works (doesn’t play music:/can’t adujust time etc). Does the entire system need replaced or just the master and one room speaker? And if so is this the correct system??

  A:

  When upgrading an older Nutone IM series intercom, the entire system needs to be replaced.  The Intrasonic Nutone Upgrade kit works for the 3003 series.  The kits comes with trim plates to update old rooms that are roughly 6"wide by 8"high.  If you have different size speakers, please call in for a customized quote.  The frame for the door speaker also comes in the kit and is designed for a door speaker that sticks out from the wall a 1/2" and not 2".

• Q:

  I have an additional question to add to my earlier email. Do we necessarily have to replace all of the room speakers if there are rooms we don’t actually use, but currently have speakers in place?

  A:

  If you want the speakers to work, the room stations need to be replaced.  If you do not want to upgrade the room units, then they can stay in place, but they need to be disconnected.
