anyone had a factory/dealer fit ipod connector?
do you have a module fiited in the glove box with a usb input?
cant seem to locate mine.
thanks toothdoc

I thought that the ipod connection was simply via the aux audio / stereo input jack on the centre console.

Is there a dedicated ipod dock that allows review of playlists and proper ipod control as a factory/dealer option?

we have a proper i pod docking station that allows you to change tracks etc from the steering wheel controls, according to the handbook this should be connected in addition to an auxillary module in the glovebox that has a usb input and regular aux inputs ( red/yellow jacks ) this is what i cant find.
as its pretty new the service and sales havent seen it before hence the post. toothdoc

I recently purchased the iPod dock and the unit does not use the main display at all. The dock is installed between the steering wheel and door. The only integration with the vehicle is that you can use the steering wheel controls to operate the iPod - primarily next/previous song and volume (the main volume control also works).

To browse the iPod or view the current song title, you will need to look at the iPod itself. That has not been a problem because the location works out well.

The installation is very clean and I much prefer it over the use of the AUX port at the rear of the center console (all of those wires!).

My glovebox module was a little hard to find, mounted above the compartment itself. I haven't looked real hard, but I cannot find the USB port that is advertised. There is a bypass switch, however, to allow the AUX port to still work and there is another set of L/R audio inputs.

Hope this helps.

Whilst I was in the dealers on Friday, the guy in front of me was buying an iPod interface. The box said made in Hungary, from this and looking at the specification it would seem to be a version of the Dension IceLink Gateway 300. Maybe someone can shed some light on this. If it is a version of the Ice link it's a shame that it is not fully functional.
