With an in dash 6 disk changer and satellite radio for a 2006 Jetta GLI, can an auxiliary audio source be added without losing the satellite radio?
I see your "sat pass" adaptor, but will the PIT VW02-aux work with the in dash AM/FM/Sirius 6-CD radio?
CORRRECTION! I had to re-mount the Phatnoise player in my A6 over the w/e. So while it was out anyway, I tried it in my '98 Jetta (w/OEM Bose head-unit) and it WORKS!
They both share the same CD changer plug (round 13 pinner). And all of the controls seems to work just as they do w/the Symphony I Bose head-unit in the Audi.
Maybe it's time for someone the correct the application guides for these units to include 1998 Jetta's w/the OEM Bose headunits?
I wish someone had tried this years ago. I would have saved me a lot of aggravation and research.
You're my freakin' hero! I'm gonna buy a Phatbox now.
I have a 2003 jetta with Monsoon 6-disc capable head unit
I would like MAXIMUM control over 30g ipod thru the radio head unit and steeringwheel controls
radio display would be nice, too
i'm using a pie (enfig) now, but get tired poking the seek button to advance tracks!
what's the latest?
I have an 07 GTi with the double din 6 disk in dash and Sat radio (also has the aux in in the glove box)
I'm looking for something that lets me retain the steering wheel controls (with the possibility of navigating play lists maybe as well)
I think the one I want is the Dice i-VW-R with the sat passthrough, does it sound like I am on the right path?
early 07 Passat with the pull down CD changer in the glove box, looking for a unit that will plug directly into the CD changer adapter but also work the Ipod through the radio itself.
car has an indash 6 CD changer with sat. radio!
Two words for you guys...
PHAT NOISE! http://www.phatnoise.com/vw/
Should integrate nicely w/most VW/Audi head-units... http://www.phatnoise.com/vw/compatible.htm Oops! Sorry just read the fine print.
"Additional comments: PhatNoise Digital Media players are not available for Phaeton, models with DVD navigation systems, Jetta's 2005.5+, Passat's 2006+, Golf & GTI 2006.5+."
Like so many before me, I have learned a lot already from this forum, but want to make doubly sure before I pull the trigger:
I have a Canadian 2006 Jetta with the 6-disc in-dash cd player and the multi-function wheel, but no satellite radio...my HU face has a 'MIX' button, not 'SAT'. And there's no AUX jack in the glove compartment, even though I think they offered that later in my model year. I can't figure out from my owner's manual how you would select anything other than the 6-disc or the radio. I want to hook up my iPod but do not want the limited functionality and playlists of the OEM setup.
Must haves:
-Retain all current functions of the in-dash CD player and standard AM/FM radio.
-control the iPod from the iPod itself, with full access to all files, playlists, settings, folders, etc. that I would have outside of the car.
-have it wired up so I can access the iPod from the driver's and passenger's seat
-no bracket on the dash (lease car, gotta keep it neat and tidy). In the ashtray in front of the stick is ideal, could live with wire dangling out of the glove compartment.
-Analog i.e. headphone-jack-quality sound is good enough (as long as it is better than the crap radio transmitter I have now)
Nice to haves which I would pay for but are not critical:
-Any sort of control from the wheel
-Any sort of readout on the HU display
-Charging and / or digital audio connection
Based on all this I think I need the Dice Electronics i-VW-R. Am I right? Let me know and I'll send Enfig my credit card number.
Thanks.
I like it and I sell it. But in a VW there is really no place to put the controller. THe display can be done.
Following on from the drive+play questions, I would need to buy an aux in plug wouldn't I?
I already have a drive+play unit I picked up cheaply in a store sale and I was looking at placing the controller either in the centre console near the handbrake, or, being a 3dr there would be room to place it on the door behind the auto window controls. I reckon both locations would be okay.

Note: Australian spec GTIs have the RCD 500 headunit and no aux plug in the glovebox, we still have the light in there.
Crappy pic of headunit below...
I just recently bought a 2007 Jetta with an iPod in the arm rest (if I wanted a black Jetta I could only get the iPod dock with out an AUX in the glove compartment). I like the dock and don't mind using the playlists off the radio, however I would like to hardwire my PNP Sirius Starmate Replay. Is there a way to do this through the ipod dock or do I have to take apart my radio. I would like to do this as cheaply as possible. Otherwise I guess my only other option is to use the FM modulator for Sirius.
Thanks in advance.

does your radio have the "aux" feature
if so what happens when you press aux
07 GTI w/ nav..is there a ipod setup i can see the playlists/tracks on the nav and/or info screen on the dash...currently using the aux in the glove..any ideas are welcome..
OK...so far I've gotten my DICE i-VW-R, torn my 2006 Jetta dash apart, plugged everything in to test. I have a few problems I hope someone (enfig?) can help with:
-Where do I physically put the DICE box? The vehicle specific cable I have is not long enough to run the box into the glove compartment. Noone mentions tis in the DIY threads cause they are all installing just a cable. Can you suggest a good spot for the MkV? Velcro tape behind the dash somewhere?
-When I hook up the iPod, I can hear the sound fine, but the screen of the iPod jumps right to "OK to disconnect" - I can't see the menus / folders etc. on the iPod or use the iPod controls. Any ideas on how to clear this up?
-What do I hook the ground wire up to? The manual shows Mk4 radio, but not sure for my MkV.
Thanks in advance...
Fixed the iPod screen readout problem with a firmware update, and I think I should be able to ground to one of the small screws on the back of the HU...still need help with a good suggestion for location / attachment of the DICE box. Thanks again!

the dice box has 2 small screw grommets on it, I'd suggest using small zip ties to secure it to a wiring harness or dash support out of the way behind the radio
I just checked again this weekend, my '07 Jetta does not have an aux button, just FM/AM and CD (functions for my CD and ipod). Can I split the ipod adaptor and add an AUX input to my system's radio (w/ the OEM ipod adaptor)? I'd rather just add a AUX option rather than buying another ipod adaptor if possible. I live in Jersey if you are able to install it. The other issue is would I be able to freely switch between my Sirius PNP and ipod if they are both working off the CD button?
Thanks again....

the only way to keep the stock VW ipod adapter and have an additional auxilary input is if your car came factory equipped with SAT and you choose to use the SAT port as an aux instead
the best adpter that will perform the functions you need would be the DICE I-VW-R
it will replace your factory adapter with an eaisier to use ipod interface as well as give you an Auxi input to which you can connect your portable SAT radio, you will be able to swich from your ipod to your aux input easily from your radio controls
the install of the I-VW-R is completly plug and play, if you like we can do the install for you, please call or e-mail us to set up an apointment
Thanks for the reply, I'm assuming that my ipod OEM connector will work fine with the DICE unit (no need to be ripping out wires in the center console or under the arm rest). Also, would this be a better (more cheap alternative) for my situation....http://www.diceelectronics.com/Merchant/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=DETEST01&Category_Code=AUX
since I should have all of the cabling from my OEM ipod?
if you guys can purchase and install that, I'd be all over it!
i have an 01 vr6 gti just added an ipod setup i have the 2din setup (i think has cd and tape) well i first tryed to plug it in to the cd player plug(on the top din) and when i hit the round button to the left the light for cd changer would come on then shut off but never play any ipod @ all. than i took the cd player blue plug out of the back of the tape deck and put the ipod blue plug in and it worked! but now i cant use the cd player
will there be a day i can use the cd player ever agan and have the i pod playing
thx

it is possible to reuse your stock wiring and insatll the dice brain, however Dice would want you to use their radio harness and ipod cable, if you'd like us to do the install please call or e-mail us to set up an apointment (if we do the install we will use the dice harnesses) if you choose to do the install yourself you can use whatever harness works better for you

no, that product is designed to connect to an aftermarket radio with an auxilary input, it won't directly connect to your car and it won't let you control your ipod from the radio or steering wheel controls
