i bought a used kit for £32 off ebay

Do those adaptors both fit the 'base' head unit? Do they charge the ipod at the same time as well??

sorry not sure what you mean by "base headunit"?......yes the ipod charges also

I meant the standard non nav , non mp3 unit.

oh sorry, yes will work, i have the standard HU and mines an 2005 car also so should have the same HU

have a look at your manual for the audio and check the model number of the unit, should be RCD300

here's a pic of mine

Yeah thats it - I have the armrest changer as well, I dont know if I have an audio manual , I think the books in my car are from a newer car and the originals have ben lost at some point , as the aircon pic in my manual has the 'dual' button , not the econ button ours have.

if your not 100% then it's best to take the HU out (which is easy) and have a look at the sticker behind it

Mine is identical to yours so Im happy with that , Ipod kit another item on my shopping list. Its both good (For my hobby) and bad (for my bank balance) that things can be added to a Golf so easily!

On the charging issue - watch out as it depends on how new your ipod is.  My old nano (tall thin one) charges perfectly but my 2nd gen ipod touch doesn't as apple changed the internal pins on the ipods used for charging at some point.  I believe you can get an adaptor to go between the ipod and dock if its an issue.
