iPod cables

So my ed30 came with the iPod docking in the arm rest, I have a vw cable up it won't fit as the cable comes out at a 45degree angle. Is there other cables vw do or a way to fix it ?

im guessing you have an MDI lead. VW don't make any "standard iPod dock" leads. if you can post a pic i can confirm for you

If you just have the standard head unit it's an RCD300. You have very limited options for iPod attachment on the head unit

You can buy an easy to use and install iPod connector that allows for Head unit controls... Xcarlink, Connects2 and VW all make one around £80.

If you just want to get a better head unit maybe start with the RCD310.you can pick one up on eBay for £50-80

RCD 510 is worth a look, if you get a good sized SD card it's just like having a big iPod touch built into the dashboard. Can be had quite cheaply of eBay these days.
