I dont think any of them come with one , unless it was either retro fitted or added as an option on a new car.

2008 Golf GTI 3 Door - Candy White , 18" Monza II's , Leather , Armrest , Rear Park sensors. (current car)

ipod dock was an option and didn't come as standard.

I have one in my ed30 but it doesnt work with my rns510 for some reason  :confused: worked fine with the old mfd2 though.

TBH I never use it as the RNS 510 stores all of my music so if anyone wants an ipod dock, I will swap it for the standard parts that go in the armrest + a few beer tokens.

Wiring pins for changer are different on second and third gen stereos, so sound quality usually suffers.  You also have to hit CD twice on the RNS to cycle through to the changer, think you also might have to code it to monitor the changer port.

5Dr Black GTI, DSG, Leather, Xenons. Retrofitted - Cruise, RNS 510, MFSW, Armrest, Skoda BT, 6cd changer, Monza II's, VW speaker upgrade kit, Lux pack, High-line, new CAN gateway, Polar FIS info display, R32 tinted rear lights, RVC

I have fitted a VW aftermarket doc in the arm rest. I removed the 6 disc changer and replaced with the doc - it was that simple. Only down side is that the track names aren't on the stereo!
