Just to clarify, So iTunes videos playback on the standard CMS too? Or is video playback only possible on the Discovery Nav or Nav Pro?

Sorry, my error in the name of the system. I only have the standard fit audio system - Composition Media System (CMS). My posts above do talk about the Discover system which is the Navigation system. I will edit them to correct that.

The CMS does show videos on the main screen with the red collared lead as I described above (now edited to say Composition).

Sorry for the confusion ...  :embarrassed:

It's ok and thanks for confirming, this is good news and another feature I didn't know about.
Just got to hope my Golf comes with wired iPod functionality (MDI) :(

Is there any different between the standard discover media unit and the 'Nav Pro' in terms of the size of album arts/logos supported? I.e. is the Nav Pro a higher resolution unit?

Dealer is adamant that there is no 'red' collar lead - he's checked three cars with the Nav Pro unit and they all have a blue collar?

Anyone have a part number?

What's the main difference? The blue allow 'audio' and the red allows 'audio' and 'video'?

My dealer has just emailed me, and has told me the red collared lead only works with the Discovery Nav pro and as I only have the standard system in my Golf, the blue will do the job. Can I just clarify the red collar does play video through the standard unit?

Can anyone confirm this for me, before I talk to dealer

Thanks
