[Closed] New Car
I am getting a new car in a few weeks, and it has a aux connector for an ipod to go through the stereo. I do need a lead though, can anyone guide me with what I need and where to get it from. Sorry for the stupidity but still on with just CD's at the moment, it is a VW car.
Also does anyone know where to get the boot trays from as the dealer seems a bit steep.
Many Thanks
Ebay is your friend! The Aux connector if not iPod specific will probably be a 3.5mm jack. So you need iPod to 3.5mm jack.
What car, age and model is it specifically?
Molgrips,
It is a VW Scirocco, and will be on a 60 plate, (Work Car)
You bastard. I won't give you any more help out of jealousy.
Sorry Molgrips, can I lie and say it is a Fox then. It is the new Indian grey GT model, so lookingforwards to seeing it.
2nd the ebay thing, picked one up for a couple of quid
I picked up something like this from Media Markt in Germany (it was quite a bit cheaper though)

This allows you to plug the iPod into the car stereo and the charger at the same time.
Maybe have a look on eBay for something similar.
Of course, you could just buy the 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack cable and a normal car charger.
I have one of these:

It's good.
I got mine from ebay
Reg,
You'll be pleased to know that you get the lead with the car. Plus one for connecting a USB device.
I'm lucky enough to own a candy white Scirocco. You will love it.

Ebay for mine (HTC Desire to BMW Aux plug) - about a fiver. Worth getting a reasonable one if you can - not the cheapest.
Nice car BTW - I like Sciroccos a lot.
You'll be pleased to know that you get the lead with the car.
The multimedia plug-in one?
Currys, Dixons, Comet and Argos if you can't find local shops and don't want to wait.
I got both leads with my Golf, guess is would be the same for the Scirocco? Just make sure the dealer gives you them when you collect the car, I had to ask for the iPod lead (apparently some dealers 'forget' to leave them in the car so you only get the usb one)
Yeah would seem they forgot to leave mine in the car. DOH!
