Title: iPod connection
Post by: ashw831 on September 21, 2012, 06:23:15 pm: How can I connect my iPhone to my rcd300??

I have already got the 6 disk changer in the arm rest, if I removed it would I just be able to use this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-MEDIA-IN-IPOD-CABLE-SCIROCCO-GOLF-POLO-RCD-310-510-NEW-000051446C-/190723672191?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6804487f&_uhb=1#ht_3504wt_922
Off the existing wires and away to go?

Thanks

You can get an oem in armrest dock for ipods aswell but only works with the older stuff, apparently you can buy a connecter (jive) that carrys out a pin swap and you can use the newer ipods on the dock aswell
