davewill Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Guys I have just signed off the Mkll forum after being there for 5 years, as today i have picked up my "new" (3 nmonth old) Mklll 2.0Tdi Titanium edition Sorted out Bluetooth and phone no probs, but cant get ipod to play I have plugged a male to male aux cable into glovebox (my wifes cable that works fine in her BMW) and then into Ipod (touch) but the ipod is not recognised within the Aux devices on the dash panel. Then plugged in USB cable from glove box to ipod,(as well as aux cable) and it recognised the Ipod. I can see playlists, tracks, etc etc and choose track, but none will play. Display on ipod says aux connection (i think) I have tried using just USB cable and same applies, can see ipod but it wont play I am missing something very simple, or do i need one of those "splitter cables" that have male jack, USB into one ipod "flat connector"? My first post on Mklll forum, hope someone can help Regards Dave Quote

Went and bought the "official" Adapter/Audio cable from Frauds P/NO 1529487 and it worked straight away Obviously the new Gal doesn't like "non ford stamped parts"!! Quote
scooper1 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 you have to connect both the USB and the 3.5 jack The cheap ebay leads that split into USB and 3.5 jack worked ok for me on my 60 plate galaxy Quote
