IPhone 6 Compatibility
« on: 03 October 2014, 15:42 »
Hi,

I picked up my GTI today and plugged in my iPhone 6 into the car, all it does is continue to say its looking for a media device.

Has anyone managed to sync their iPhone 6 with the car using the cable?

Cheers

Chris

Hi,

I have not tried plugging mine in yet. It did take me 3 hours and a similar number of software resets to get the bluetooth to correct correctly, and it still will not play music over the bluetooth connection.  I will be interested to see how you get on

Hi,

I have tried with Bluetooth and it works fine, it is the cable which is the issue.

When connecting on Bluetooth is was quick so you should not have any problems.

Which cable are you using - MDI or USB to Lightning? Green collar?

You need the cable with the green collar. White is for Golf Mk6.

Thanks when I picked the car up today from VW.

The salesman said he threw the cable in as the car had 85 miles on the clock as it was collected from another branch. 

So not sure where I stand on this will they give me the correct cable?
