Title: Connecting 6cd to mfd2
Post by: Mark_eire on October 09, 2010, 10:55:28 pm: I bought a 6cd changer, same one as was in the armrest in my last gti, I have an octavia vRS now,
Can anyone tell me which cable I need to connect the 2 together??
There is a wire about 6 inches coming out of the cd changer with a 12 pin socket on it, so presumably I need this on one end of the connector cable, but what connector goes into the mfd2?
I've found a few on ebay but I'm not sure if it's the correct one.
Thanks and sorry if this is confusing!! lol

Bizarrely enough I have a CD Changer in my garage as I removed it when I bought my Phatbox. :wink:

That looks promising. Been a while since I owned my Octy so I can't remember exactly. :ashamed:

The blue connector on the ebay link looks different to the blue one in the picture you showed me!

I think you are right. The one shown could be an Audi cable.

Yeah! lol
Although without the correct part no. they'll probably make a balls of it, they don't like the hassle of having to research part no's themselves!!
I've found this part no after a lot of searching, looks to me like the correct one 1T0 051 592
