jaKel Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Anyone know if the ipod adaptor that comes with the sat nav is compatable with the new video output? Was planning on buying a new ipod but this has given me doubts unless VW is up to date: "This iPod (30 or 60gbs) marks the end of Apple’s Remote port—a now-missing four-pin oval port introduced with the 3G iPod that allows accessories such as FM transmitters, microphones, and remote controls to work with the iPod. Apple says that the capabilities of the Remote port are built into the iPod’s Dock connector and you can be assured that a slew of compatible accessories are in the works, but that’s little comfort to those with older accessories that won’t function with this new iPod." Can anyone help me out? My R32 is sitting with a scheduled build week so as far as i understand i can alter this until it becomes a confirmed build. If it wont work I would change to a CD changer. Will ring the dealer but they have beed useless in their knowledge about anything to do with the ipod etc. Sorry for the long winded post. Just dont want to be dissappointed when it arrives!!

When you mention 'video output' it is a touch confusing - I assume you mean the sound from a Video iPod rather than the video output from an iPod, which an unaltered nav would be unable to help with.
