Title: IPod setup advice
Post by: easton7 on 09 July 2009, 13:34

Just bought a 2002 MK4 and need to get my ipod wired up soon as...
Had the connects2 unit in my last car and in a week i've already really missed it

Just looking for some advice...
(Car has standard cd/tape unit)

I liked the connects2 but it really annoyed me that you can't get full control of the ipod -you we're only able to skip tracks
Is it the same for MK4 connects2?

For this reason i was thinking of getting a general aux cable...
Does the headunit take the standard 3.5mm jack?

The main thing i liked about the connects2 was that it charged my ipod too, was planning on getting round this by running a 12v extension cable into the socket in the boot...

Anyone running something similar? Advice? Recomendations?

MODs please move this to ICE discussion if you want, but it is MK4 specific :wink:

Cheers

aftermarket headunit
iPod lead

job done

thats the only way you will get track display, scroll through playlists etc etc through a headunit in the MK4

don't bother with the VW iPod lead as it only makes the iPod act as a cd changer

Ok cool, will probably just go with aux lead and charger...
Don't fancy paying a few hundred quid for a HU just now

Did just spot this though

Anyone got this or seen it used?
