Std Radio and Cd with Ipod connects2????
« on: 01 December 2008, 20:07 »
Is it possible to connect and ipod to the std radio and cd in a mk4 golf?

If it does work, will i lose any other functions or will it work together with the cd and tape deck?

Please help

Thanks

if you have the single slot CD player then you can connect an ipod lead to that as there is an output for a cD changer (its how i connected my Phatnoise system when i had it) therefore you get the best of everything, your headunit, ability to play Cd's and use the iPod

if you have just a headunit and cd changer then no you cannot use the iPod without losing the ability to use the cd changer
