Have VW changed iPod leads again?

[Duroo72]

I have the black VW lightning cable with an iPhone5
When connected and selected the display says something like no selectable files.
Can the car only see files from iTunes as all my music is played from the Spotify app with the files downloaded for local use?

Have you the USB socket or MDI?

I have the MDI to lightning lead?

Anyone know what lead you get with the standard nav? It's a bw50 car but I'm collecting march the 1st. Thanks in advance.

What radio/nav did you spec?

My guess is the basic nav....

I understood that USB was Nav Pro only, so standard Nav should be MDI?

I currently have a BMW 1 series with a "y" cable. This has both a USB and aux connection to the car and both have to be connected to play anything from the Iphone/Apple device. With this I can search for all ITunes playlists/albums/artists etc. There is no screen to display artwork.

Like Duroo I have Spotify premium which enables me to make any albums I choose available offline by saving to my device memory. As I have a 64GB Iphone thats a lot of music. My 1 Series recognises the Spotify music and plays tracks as well as displaying tracklist and ability to ff/rew.

Can anybody confirm if any set-up (no nav/standard nav or nav pro with various leads) allows playback of Spotify

Cheers

Hi Kevin

Have you perhaps managed to get your USB port to play music from your iPod or iPhone? I collected my GTI a few days ago and have discovered it will only charge my iPhone. When connected a message comes up saying device not supported.

Hi Gunners, no the USB port I have does not support music with apple devices. I'm not too bothered really. The only audio I store on my iphone are podcasts and I use BT audio to play it on the radio.

What spec is your GTI? Is it an Irish or UK car? If you want to, you can easily change for the Rev D version. I priced it at about €25. It's a €70 option from the factory

Picked up my GTD last week and nit entirely sure what cables I've got. I don't have a nav unit so don't have USB even though the manual refers to it.

I've got 3 cables for Apple devices

"green" cable for iPhone 5 (lightning)
"blue" cable for iPhone 4 (30 pin)

Plus another "navy blue" cable that's also 30 pin (brand new unopened)

Can anyone enlighten me?
