not a 3.5mm ... its a genuine vw unit with the plug that goes in the bottom of the ipod/phone. There is power at the cable but no joy getting the thing to work still ! I'll get vw to look at it next time i'm there .

When your Iphone is connected and you try to access your music through your Iphone menu do you get a "Accessory Connected" screen appear? if so then your stereo has recognised its connected.

I had a small issue with my new 4G Ipod touch when it was connected i was not able to browse my songs on the Ipod its self only through the stereo interface which was very anoying not being able to scan through my music like normal asif you were to use it with standard earphones or a 3.5mm jack.

Theres a app (only for Jailbroken Ipod/Ipones) called 'NoAccessorySplash' which gets rid of the Acessory Connected screen so enables you to flick through your music and videos like normal when connected to your stereo or Ipod dock. This is what i use. Bare in mind if you go down the Jailbraking route like myself you void your warenty but thats the bad bit. But on the plus side you can get loads of brilliant handy apps.

It was probably a security thing whitch Apple decided implement so when your driving you wern't busy browsing through your music and cause a crash.

Hope that helps thats my guess.
