Title: Swapping armreast disc changer for ipod insert!?
Post by: JamesC on October 19, 2009, 02:55:33 pm

Picking up my GTi hopefully Friday and want the ability to plug my ipod into the armrest, car
already has the disc changer so i'm led to believe its just plug and play. Have just got off
the phone from VW and they want £237.60 for the Armreast insert and ipod adapter!

Have they misunderstood me or is that what its going to cost unless I risk Ebay

That sounds about right for the dealer price for the iPod armrest kit TBH.

eBay (and probably ebay.de) are the best bet  :happy2:

Out of interest does it also charge the ipod? i've got a nano (ipod) if that makes a difference.
