Media Cables

Since returning to work after holiday have found out that only a iPod lead is supplied and no USB lead as there is a SD card slot in glovebox

Will be keeping my USB lead from my Scirocco then.

another f4ck up from VW! not everyone has an iPhone so why don't they give you a choice of cables. iPhone cable is no good to me so I'll be asking to swap it for a USB one.

The other leads are listed in the VW accessories brochure for about £25-£40 I think....

It does seem daft to offer up the brand specific Apple lead and not the universal USB lead that every other non-apple device uses.

Yeah for sure, especially when Android phones have a bigger market share and all come with Micro USB connectors.

These leads probably cost peanuts. Just go in and ask for a free one

You say that but the lead only supports iPhones up to the 4s - so those of us with 5's have been bum f7cked as well as I had to shell out £25 for a lightning adaptor.

the iPhone lead that comes with the red collar is the one that works with the new iPhone or is it the black collar I can't remember. I doubt asking for a free USB cable will happen if they are listed at 35 quid.

So this "USB" lead people say they are missing... Is this connection point in the glove box and is it some kind of weird format port and this cable converts that into a female USB connection??
