Connecter in the glove box
« on: February 28, 2017, 07:21:23 pm »
Hi, I have an edition 30 which comes with the connecter shown below in the glove box. Any ideas on the best way to connect my iPhone 6s Plus to it so I can play music through my phone? Thanks in advance

Trace that connector to the MDI unit that will be on the other end then buy a lightning connector lead instead of the iPod one you have.
Loads of extra's and retro fits.

That lead will feed into the MDI, which then has a loom to the headunit. The device to MDI leads are interchangeable.

That looks like an (old gen) ipod to MDI lead. You'll need a Lightning to MDI lead, I think. There's one on ebay, item number 232231626550, and I have one somewhere that's surplus... although I've no idea where I've put it. I'll see if I can find it.

Just double check though - I'm not an iphone man myself so I can't say for definite what works and what doesn't. If you're not in a big rush I'll dig mine out and see what part number is on it.

It came from @Pudding - the top chap he is sold me his old MDI kit and it came with that. Maybe he can confirm whether the lead I have (somewhere) is what you need!

5N0035558 is the part number for the USB exstension.. That whay you can' connect any phone cable to it instead of getting the phone specific cable end.
