Nice. :cool:

Some of the older iPods won't work with the 310 or 510.

How old are you talking?
My daughters video ipod which I believe was out not long after the 2nd generation works fine. Or at least it plays music, however it stutters like the rest of them. I think all the ipods have had the same proprietary connector so they should all work.

Anyway I'll leave that for a different thread as the spotlight is being taken off of Captain Sensibles fantastic car  :grin:

EDIT: Yeah you are quite correct. The 1st (2001) and 2nd (2002) generation used a 3.5mm jack. It wasn't until the 3rd gen (2003) that they used the dock connector.

Captain: I must admit I keep going back to pictures of your car. Those wheels really look lovely with a black GTi. Good taste! :smiley:

Nice looking car there Captain - I was just wondering what the fit of your rear mudflaps was like -do
they hug the contour of the bumper all the way to the top with no gaps ? -on mine there is a gap of
about 2 or 3mm from the top of the flap to about 75mm down -i.e. roughly the height of the rear reflectors - I definitely have the right ones,(the ordinary MK6 is a diffferent part no.) and took ages to fit them (took the wheels off),but still couldn't get them to sit properly -did your dealer fit them ?
-maybe there is a trick they use to get them to fit snugly -from your rear shot of the car they do seem to be a good fit.Just wondering if it's just me that has this problem.Many thanks.

Got the car mats online from autostyle priced £60.00. They are much thicker than the mats that come with the GTI and fit perfectly

Lovley car mate :cool:

Might get some of those mats for my front door :laugh:

You can use an ipod shuffle with the USB lead.

Nice car, not sure on the wheels but i'm a big Monza fan. Love the Xenons, wish I had got them.
