Apple iPod Cradle

In case of complaints, it is necessary to know the function and operation of the "iPod" and radio/radio navigation system.

For additional information, => Operating instructions.

When the battery is reconnected, check any affected system or component (radio, clock, comfort electrical connection etc.) according to the repair information and/or the operating instructions.

As special equipment, a mount for the "iPod" from " Apple" can be ordered through VW.

Different versions of the "iPod" are available from " Apple". The mount in the vehicle is designed for the following units:

the classic "iPod", 3rd and 4th generation

"iPod" mini

"iPod" Photo

When the iPod is inserted in the mount, the contents of the " iPod" can be displayed and selected via the radio/radio navigation system display. Power is supplied to the "iPod" via the mount.

All "iPod" audio data can be shown in the radio system but photos cannot be shown in the radio navigation system display and now background information for the files (ID3 tags) is shown. The radio or radio navigation system display simply shows the number of the file (track xx).

The files are preprocessed by the "iPod" and then sent to the radio or radio navigation system.

OBD Function

The "iPod" mount is not equipped with On Board Diagnostics (OBD).
