Volkswagen iPod Guide

[tdicks]

Thank you so much! I'll call on these... do you know offhand if they work for the 2008 Passat (the web pages don't specify that year). Also, do you know if any of them support song titles from the ipod through the factory radio? I have in-dash satellite radio w/ 6-disc CD factory installed; right now the OEM ipod adapter displays no text from the ipod (or cd) - just track 1 etc.

Thanks,
Tracy

If you have the full MFD in your gauge cluster with steering wheel controls I would recommend the Dension Gateway 100

HI, I'm new to the boards. I looked around but wasn't able to find a solution to my problem.

I have a 2006 GTI (newer model), stock HU with SAT. I just installed a DICE i-VW-SAT/5V ipod connector. The audio is working but I am having issues with the controls and display.

I've tried the DIP switches and disconnected the blue factory plug from the HU. I also verified that my ipod firmware is up to date. The display scrolls random SAT information and the presets show SAT channels, not the 001-006 that are supposed to show.

The HU controls do not work at all. When a button is pressed the song stops for a second then continues. I've found that I can only operate the ipod controls from the ipod.

Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

Contact dice. The controls on that unit are a little complicated so we try not to sell it. They have a new I-Audi/VW-SAT unit that we are testing for them that seems to work a much better. If you can return it or if you purchased it from us we would be more than happy to swap it out for you.

I read the whole page on the enfig site, but I still have a question.

I have an ipod video and an iphone 3G. Is there an adapter that allows the charging of either device. Also I use the shuffle feature a whole lot on my ipod. I would have to set it on that first, then plug it in...correct?

Looking for an iPod adapter for my 2002 GTI 337 with Monsoon stereo -- with both in-dash CD and a 6-disc changer in the back.

I prefer to control everything thru the iPod, not the car radio.

Will this product work for my car? And will it allow me to connect both the iPod adapter AND the 6-disc changer at the same time?

I am looking for a mount for my 7th gen 160GB ipod classic. I have it hooked up with a blitzsafe connector so i would prefer the mount be able to accept the cable into it. Most of the proclip mounts specify 5th generation and lower. And none of them list the blitzsafe connector as being compatible. Any suggestions?

Anything that charges the new ipods also charges the older iPods.

The shuffle question depends on the interface.

That unit will work but there currently is nothing on the market that allows you to use the trunk CD changer and the iPod.
I recommend the dice for the same price because it gives you control of all your playlists not just 6 and also adds an aux.

i have a 2004.5 GLI with monsoon, no cd changer, only single disk in dash cd.

i will be using an old ipod nano (at least 3 years old) and
the original 1st gen iphone

is my understanding right that the newer ipod models require the 5V charge and dont work with the 12V? does that also mean that the older ipods will only work with the 12V?

the extra aux input would be nice, and i dont mind paying for it.

which of these three should i go for?

I've got a 1998 Mk3 GTI, and I'm guessing that nothing from enfig will work with my OEM head unit?

I have a Dension Gateway 100 (GW16VC1) that I have installed in my 2009 Jetta TDI with Premium 7 HU. (I first tried a PXAMG but had problems with steering wheel controls going crazy after updating firmware). The dension unit plays the ipod but there is no text in the MFD, but I can change tracks with the steering wheel buttons. In that state, it's not much better than the factory interface in terms of control.

I contacted dension and they replied that they did not support the premium 7, but there are videos online of the GW100 working with it. Any idea why it isn't working for me? There is a procedure for enabling text on the GW and I have tried that w/o success. I have also tried uninstalling/reinstalling and disconnecting/reconnecting battery. It has the latest firmware and dension support says flashing it wouldn't make a difference with the display issue anyway.

I may try again with the PXAMG (awaiting response from seller re: exchange) but I really liked the interface of the dension better from what I saw in the videos. It looks like a great unit.

Am I the only one that it won't work for?
