Don't bother with the adapter! Carefully pull out the purple pieces on the original leads in the car and take the remaining plastic covers off. Then plug the leads straight into the corresponding ones on the back of the RCD510, job done and saved a few quid :happy2:

Is there a way of getting a cable into the glovebox to charge the ipod only? The 12v socket is annoying where it is!
