Title: Ipod connectivity issue
Post by: panth on January 27, 2015, 03:20:42 pm

hi people. Why has my car got an Ipod connection in the glove box but there is no way of actually selecting the device? Confused.com. Anyone else have this?

It feels like im really missing something but I have been through the menu etc and there is no "AUX" or "IPOD" on my stereo. Ill try taking some pictures of my current system.

Depends on your HU but have you tried pressing CD twice? Thats how I select the iPod dock in my Golf.

Pics will be helpful, it could be the HU has been upgraded and made the old ipod connection redundant, or it could be disconnected.
