Retrospective IPod connection

[Kwheeler]

Hi
I am in the process of finding and buying an Eos.
I've found one which looks pretty perfect but it doesn't have an IPod connection, so I was hoping someone might have some advice on fitting a connection.

Is it possible and if so does anyone have any particular recommendations and an idea of the cost.

Thanks in advance

Would help to know the year of the Eos your are looking at.

I plug into the stereo via the aux in the glovebox. $5 cord does the trick. I also have a lighter-plug charger that provides power via USB and wide apple connector. I have a lot of playlists, so its is usually just plug and go for several days. With the Dynaudio, it sounds great.

I've thought about getting a fancier setup that would allow me to control it through the MFD/steering wheel controls, but it just doesn't seem to be worth $3-500 with installation. The same setup works fine with my iPhone as well.

Hi
Thanks for both your comments.

It's a late 2008 model.

It doesn't have the aux in connection unfortunately.

Thanks

I took a look at the specs for the 2008 Eos. Edmunds lists an auxiliary mp3 audio input. That would be a stereo miniplug. I have an 2009 Eos Komfort with the auxiliary mp3 input and the ipod cable from VW. I don't use the ipod connector (30 pin Apple connector) but the mp3 audio input works just fine for me, using the headphone jack on the ipod. I suggest that you double check the 2008 for a stereo minplug jack inside the console box between, that's where it is on mine.

Good Luck

My aux connection is hard to find - stereo miniplug on the top of the glovebox on the far right. I think it might have been standard equipment in anything above the base model. I did not pay extra for mine anyway on a 2007 Lux. (Part of the trim package)
