Ipod Armrest Dock Help?!

[DannyO8Gti]

So i bought my gti with the ipod dock in the armrest and whenever i plug and iphone or ipod into the dock the cd player will just not work and on the ipod it comes up charging is not supported with this accessory :( can anybody out there shine some light on if there is any way of sorting this??

The original ipod dock only supports firewire chargeing. So unless your ipod is an old version the dock will not charge it. All is not lost as there is a firewire to usb charging adapter available that should do the job.
Something like this  http://www.amazon.co.uk/CableJive-dockStubz-Converter-Through-Adapter/dp/B003TJR2HS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345502224&sr=8-2

iirc Apple had one available in their on line store a while back.
