RCD500 Changer... iPod compatible?

<< < (2/2)

Cheers Guys,

Appreciate your thoughts, I’ll check out the Dension Gateway car kit solutions.  Cheers :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

keith:
Has anyone bought one of the Gateway 100/300 units, my VW ipod connection has packed in and looking for an alternative product this one looks good.

TomB:
The VW accessory iPod kits for RCD300/500 were just rebadged Dension IceLinks, so you might end up with the same problems, Keith.

keith:
Is it? The gateway says you can use the radio and the ipod to control playlists etc.

TomB:
You could do the same with the VW one if you flashed it with the Dension "dock" firmware.  The iPod would work with a dodgy Dension interface while the radio was on, but it was rubbish.

To be honest, the best way to get the iPod to work is to buy a stereo thats been designed to work with iPods in the first place.  The only OE way for MK5s is to retrofit an RCD/RNS#10 and get an MDI interface.  I'd love to do it, but I can't justify all that money to see the name of the song...I can hear if I like it  :smiley:  I've also seen issues with fitting some of the new RCD units in MK5s, I'll wait until someone on Vortex solves it!
