iPhone compatability

[DonnieDarko]

will it work? i'm thinking of changing contracts but remember reading somewhere here that they don't work with the ipod adapter in a mk6- is that correct?

Have succesfully used my Ipod Touch on a 310 stereo, obviously music only.

My iphone is completely compatible and integrated into my GTI.  I have retrofitted the Fiscon Bluetooth kit and have the Tomtom software on my iphone, the voice commands from the Tomtom get picked up by the bluetooth and come through the speakers too.

All of the music tracks are searchable from the headunit, I have a 510 but they also come through the 310. 

It all works perfectly.

is that working through the std cables & charging, or through the bluetooth kit?

VW may well have updated it now with the latest Ipod docks but in my mk5 my 2nd gen Ipod touch doesn't charge.  IIRC apple changed the way the pins are wired internally in the latest models.  Plays fine though. An older nano plays and charges fine...

Is the Ipod dock still in the armrest?  Again this may be different in the mk6 but with the mk5 the armrest doesn't quite shut properly with the ipod touch (or presumably the iphone).

That's using the ipod lead supplied, phone charges through the lead.  Phone fits in the arm rest.
