Mk4 Golf Ipod kits - what one is best?

[AGAR]

Hi all,

Ive done a search but no one seems to have asked this question here.

I am looking for an ipod link to connect my ipod to my VW Gamma headunit; please note that my car also has the VW in-dash 6-cd changer. Ive read on a few product descriptions that the common mk4 golf ipod links can be connected to the Gamma unit but you will no longer be able to use the autochanger with this - is this correct? And is there any way of getting round this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Agar

I use a cassette adapter in my MK IV R32. I also have a Belkin FM transmitter but the sound quality isn't quite as good as a cable based link.

Denison Ice Link kits seem very popular - try a search using the word "Denison"

I'm using a Dension Gateway 300 with the CD retention kit in my Audi.
I've connected a hard drive to the kit rather then an Ipod

Hi Jack,

Was looking at these today, the Gateway 100 in particular, i can't seem to figure out what the 300 offers above the usual 100 spec? Can your standard HU be used to naviagate through the ipod and display song titles? Im wondering how control is given between the CD changer and the ipod?

Thanks

Does your R32 still have a CD changer, if so how do you make use of them both? Whats the GW100, and is it any better than the Gateway 100?

Thanks

GW100 = GateWay 100
It allows you to use another Dension lead "CD Retention Kit"

TBH - I hardly used the CD once ipodded...

How do you get around the problem of needing a CD playing to get the head unit to select the auxilliary input?
