MK5 swapping the 6CD changer for an iPhone dock
« on: 20 November 2013, 22:26 »
Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum and I need some help.  I've just got a GTI MK5 and it's got the standard RCD 300 or 500 (not sure which one) with the VW 6CD changer under the armrest in the centre console.

I don't want to install any wires in the glove box by opening up the dashboard and plugging in extra cables etc, all I want to do is pull out the 6 CD changer and pop in an iPod dock in a plastic centre console tray that is exactly the same size.

Question is, can I do this by simply unplugging the CD changer and then plugging in the cable from the iPod dock? It sounds too easy, but is it??!!  :huh:

If it is that easy, does anyone know specifically which part I need to get?  There are loads on eBay that look like they'd do the job but I really need some help knowing exactly which one!  e.g. VW / AUDI ARMREST IPOD INTERFACE DOCK 1KO.857.925.B.  or  OEM VW iPod Center Console Tray 1K0857925B , DEVWI-8501-4 ...or something else?

Any wisdom would be really gratefully received.

Thanks.
