How to connect an auxiliary device
« on: March 05, 2016, 08:58:06 pm »
Hi, I'm a new member, my first post so please be gentle!  I have just bought an 07 GTI, 56k, 2 owners, FSH - very pleased with it.  However I'm trying to figure out a way of playing music from an iPhone/iPod.  There is no 'aux' plug in in the glove box abd can't see one anywhere else.  Does anyone have a cunning way round this issue, or are my daughters just gonna have to put up with my old Brian Adams cds!
I'll appreciate any ideas

Hi welcome to the forum.

You'll require something like this in the link below.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-VW-GOLF-MK5-2003-On-Car-Stereo-Aux-In-Input-MP3-iPhone-iPod-Interface-/351134631551?hash=item51c141467f:g:g-cAAOSwEK9T3CFN

+1.
I fitted one of these & it works fine & reliably - will only work you don't have 6 CD changer fitted as this goes into the same socket on head-unit.

That's correct flyingscotsman we can't have both which is a shame.
I have one of these sitting in my cupboard when I removed it to plug the 6 disc auto-changer back in.

Hi, Thanks for the replies (and the welcome  :happy2:)
I do have the 6 x cd changer under the arm rest, so ready this, I can swap, but can't have both. Thanks for the quick and useful response.
