Hi guys,
Just upgraded to an iPhone 6 and went into VW dealership today to buy the cable to connect the phone. Almost passed out when the guy quoted £77. Can anyone tell me if the one in the link below is the right one or can anyone be so kind and give me another link to one I can purchase? I have the nav pro if that makes any difference.

Can't see the link, but the price is about right for a dealer. If you look on Ebay there are a lot that are claimed to be genuine, but I have doubts, £25 seems to be the price that the Ebay ones command.

Sorry, stupidly forgot to post the link but have corrected. Your right the prices on eBay do seem suspiciously cheap compared to the dealership.

Suppose at the price they are worth a gamble. if they turn out not to work you can claim a refund back through Ebay?
What Model & year car you using it in?

Use the lead you have with the older connection and buy an adaptor from Apple for 25 quid?

I have a spare genuine VW lightning connector that I purchased for my polo and then Golf came with one if you are interested.

Definitely interested pal. Is it the green collar one?
-
Yes make sure it is green collar, as this enables iTunes album artwork to be displayed.
-
Unfortunately mine is a white collar one.

No worries mate. Thanks for the offer anyway :smiley: :smiley:

Craig, I can't find the link, but when I got a different collar lead for my GTI to display the artwork properly it was no where near that kind of money - I think I paid maybe £15 - I'm pretty sure it was Amazon or Ebay, so have a search on there!

It does kind of look like the genuine VW article, the only difference between the one I have for sale on eBay and the one in your link is the number 0315A - mine says 0314. Not sure what this means but the rest of the numbers etc are the same.
If it's any use to you, the eBay item number for mine is 161623737383, it came from a UK 2014 Golf GTD so is a genuine VW green collar lead.
