I've an Ipod Touch... when i connect it in the under the Armrest it works fine... however... if i leave the Armrest up when driving... my Ipod rattles loose and disconnects and i keep having to nudge push it back in...
Its really irritating as i like to have the Armrest up...
It works fine when the Armrest is down because its kept in place then...
Hope someone knows the answer to solving this problem ? :sad1:

have you got the correct plastic insert in, to suit your ipod.
-
It does sound like it has the wrong base. Could be a problem as the car when new comes with all the different bases AFAIK and there are not available from VW.My touch was a tight fit when used with the 60 ipod.(largest one)
:confused:

Correct but they don't do them for the iTouch as yet :sad1:

Ahh - i've all these plastics things and i didnt know what they were... i thought they were for Ipods.. but none seem to fit the Ipod Touch...
I've got a plastic bit where its just a square/rectangle... it doesnt seem to slot in anywhere...

My car car came with a packet of different inserts and one fitted perfect with my touch. :happy2: So the dealer should be able to supply you with the same. :happy2:

Good luck, i tried 3 dealerships, non would oblige, due to that kit being no longer made.

waaa - im defo looking tommorrow for the right plastic bit then :)
Just hope the previous owner hasnt kept it :mad:

I think the design changed or something did after i bought my ipod because mine charges as well, and i have been told that most dont.
Rich if you dont get any luck sorting it out. I will bring all of the other fitments that it came with to the next meet for you to try out. :happy2:

TopCat... Thanks greatly for this ! :drinking:

I had the same trouble when I was using my nano as I didn't have any of the inserts. The dealer told me they didn't supply them and that I should contact Apple. I bought a bigger Ipod instead. Ironically i bought a touch which fits a treat in whatever the insert thats in it is but I keep the armrest down.

Is this the Ipod Touch adaptor though ???

I doubt that the pack contains an adapter made specially for the Ipod Touch.
Seeing how long VW took to get out an adapter for the second generation nano , I would just try to see if one of the available adapters matches up to your Ipod Touch.
If you are in Manchester sometime in the future, I could let you see if one of the adapters could be made to work.

The large ipod base fits the Touch very snug, but you cant fully close the armrest down when its inserted.
-
ipod classics fit perfect with no adaptor
-
It works fine with the Armrest down since the Touch is a little high.. and the armrest keeps it in place.
I'm gonna head to VW garage when i next fill up to ask for this Part No. 1KO 868 003 B 9B9

i also have a few of the adaptors-if you want them Rich
