which cable do i need for ipod
matty_jetta:
Tom, im not quite sure by what your saying when you say i can retain the use of my cd player as i thought that the ipod lead plugs in to where the cd changer plugs in? as mine is a built in cd changer i presume this port is taken up?
Something like this would do the job?

TomB:
Your changer is built into the stereo so it doesn't use the plug :happy2: Its free for your iPod kit.
As for the kit you've linked, it won't fit your MK5 stereo (its designed for MK4 headunits) but my girlfriend has that kit in her Ka and its never crashed in the 18 months we've had it. I also used one of those on my VDO sat nav unit for a year with no trouble.
It still doesn't allow you to display track names but that problem lies with your headunit.
This is the correct Connects2 kit for you - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/iPOD-Interface-OEM-Adaptor-Kit-VW-Passat-Golf-MK5_W0QQitemZ250464166955QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP?hash=item3a50d3e42b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A2122%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 It may still be worth searching the model number on Google for the best deal, our ones were bought from ICE websites as eBay was too expensive.
