fingermouse Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 ok just fitted a armrest to the wifes golf and also fittled the arm rest dock station for her ipod. Got it all fitted but the head unit ( rcd500) does not see the ipod ??? only wire I havn`t connected is the brown one as one of the plugs was off the end of it and I couldn`t see where it fitted for the radio anyhow ?? any pointers ???

PetrolDave Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 just crappy vw don`t display track names ffs Neither do the iPod interfaces on all Audis without MMI. Why? Because the iPod interfaces connect via the CD changer port - which is not capable of any text information. BTW it also reduces your iPod to 6 virtual CDs!
