ipod connectivity

[rubble2]

I installed a Dension ice-link myself, it is really easy once you manage to remove the head unit (do a search for head unit removal) all will be revealed

Ok, so having removed the head unit, (thanks for the tip) does the Denison just plug straight into the back of the stereo and then the other end into my ipod and it just all works?
Thanks in advance

Yes that is pretty much it. The desion has a connector that fits into the CD changer connection on the back of the head unit. On the end of the other cable from the dension is a dock connector for the ipod. I ran the dock connector into the glove box so that the ipod is hidden from view but other people have brought it out to the centre console and fitted a cradle and mounting bracket. Choice is yours.

Its possible to put the iPod cable in the glove box with no drilling, bit tricky though. I did as a temporary measure while I sorted my armrest, which is where my iPod now lives

Hi All

Do you have the part number for this iceLink plus. I have been given various ones, so I whant the correct number before I order one.

Many thanks.

You need a VW compatible model with quadlock connector, sorry don't recall part number

Hi rubble2

Thanks for that.Is it an 8 or 12 pin connector & is there a cradle on the back of the radio it fits into???

 

[rubble2]

It's an eight pin quadlock, it fits into a spare connector on the rear of the headunit that is designed for plugging in a CD multichanger, the dension is fitted in place of the multichanger.

12 pin. yes there is a cradle type ting on the back of the head unit

Now I am confused. I would look at my own car but it's all tucked away as I cannot drive it for another month at least.

How come?

The thread above your last by rubble2 said it was an 8 pin plug??

 

[rubble2]

Sorry my mistake, that's what you get for relying on memory. It is in fact a twelve way connector
