I would say its a case of getting the new changer lead.

1T0 051 592A

Thats the code youll need for the dealer

Ok cool i'll try and order one of them up. Is there any fitting guides anywhere ?

I'm going to get the MFD2 out soon as I'm going to do an amp and component and sub install so probably worth doing everything at once.

They come with instructions, but its as easy as plugging it in and just adding the brown earth wire to the ground point under where the ashtray site

Good plan

The lead isnt compatible

OR

The iPod dock doesnt work

OR

The iPod has issues

Yep it is odd !

So pretty sure the ipod works ok, i've been using it on an alpine HU in my other car, but I will borrow another one to make sure. Also I think one of my neighbours has a 6cd changer in their mk5 so thinking if I can persuade them to let me quickly test it that could troubleshoot all eventualities.

Been thinking on this........... if the USB docker plays off the Aux and the Ipod and CD changer both play off the cd then it's got to be a different cable, correct me if I'm wrong but can't you have both a docker and an aux function ?

Testing Monday anyways......  :happy2:

Aye you can have both. They use different pins on the same plug

Ok I see, still substantiates my theory, but in that I have the wrong pins maybe......

Anyway all speculation, I just like trying to fix things !  :signLOL:

Update........

Got a kind fellow forum member to come and test his working ipod dock with me today and his worked in my car as soon as it plugged in, and even charges my ipod. My docker I was sold doesn't work in his car, so conclusive proof it is a dud......... I've contacted the seller...........
