Title: Std Radio and Cd with Ipod connects2????
Post by: Miggie on 01 December 2008, 20:07

Is it possible to connect and ipod to the std radio and cd in a mk4 golf?

If it does work, will i lose any other functions or will it work together with the cd and tape deck?

Please help

Thanks

you can connect either an i pod or changer not both i'm afraid
i can supply the one you need for £69.99 delivered
i take it you have a gamma h/u
if so this is what you need

if you have the single slot CD player then you can connect an ipod lead to that as there is an output for a cD changer (its how i connected my Phatnoise system when i had it) therefore you get the best of everything, your headunit, ability to play Cd's and use the iPod

if you have just a headunit and cd changer then no you cannot use the iPod without losing the ability to use the cd changer
