Getting an iPod connecting wire into the glove compartment
jsklair:
I'm about to install an Alpine head unit in my GTi.
In my old Civic, it was quite easy to thread the iPod connecting wire from the back of the head unit into the glove compartment.
On first inspection, the Golf glove compartment seems to be a lot more "sealed".
Has anyone done this, or does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

I had a quick look round there the other day when I bought my GTI, pretty sure to the top right at the very back, there is a gap, that when you take the radio out, you would be able to feed an iPod cable through...

I've done it.. Well, not me but the guy I use for all such things. I so rarely use it though - I only listen to music in the car if I'm parked and killing time waiting.
So, it's definitely possible and not a great problem. If no-one else here can tell you exactly how, you'll have to wait for me to next see my car audio guy. He's a friend so I do pop by his workshop just socially.
HTH :smiley:

Thanks for the responses one and all.
I plan on doing this next weekend, so I'll let you know how I get on.
I've just this moment decided to get a bluetooth kit as well. This one:

I feel a few more questions for this forum brewing. :confused:
