Product Description

Direct sound connection for iPod - Replaces external CD changer - Provides high quality sound - Controls iPod from car stereo or steering wheel - Supports all iPods (except Shuffle) and iPhones - Charges iPod / iPhone (except iPhone 3G). Specifications: Total cable length is 6ft with possible cable extension - Black iPod cable - Adapter weight 4 oz. Compatible with certain cars equipped with single DIN car stereo (i.e. stereo about two inches / 5 cm in height), namely: Volkswagen 98-06, Audi 98-05, Audi A3 / A4 05-06 (without satellite installed), Seat 98-08, Skoda 98-08. We also have adapters for cars equipped with double DIN stereo (i.e. stereo about four inches / 10 cm in height). They can be found at Amazon using the following SKUs for the search: GROM-I-VAG-VAGD and GROM-IW-VAG-VAGD. Special note for AUDI: In some AUDI vehicles, a solid 3-in-1 factory connector blocks access to the CD changer port. The factory connector must be removed to gain access to the CD changer port. If that is your case, you need to use AUDS harness (sold separately at Amazon, SKU# GROM-C-AUDS) that accepts the factory connector and plugs into the radio, leaving the CD changer port open for proper use of any interface adapter or auxiliary input converter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works, but almost as expensive as a new head unit, December 30, 2011

This review is from: GROMAudio iPod to VW / Audi / Skoda / Seat Car Adapter Interface for Dashboard (Electronics)

I just installed one of these in my 2001 Audi TT and everything went pretty smoothly. I bought a specific kit including everything needed for my specific model though, so if I were you I'd communicate with whoever you order this from before ordering to make sure you're ordering the right adapter and all of the parts you're going to need. Make sure you order from someone willing to help you get the right parts and who will help answer installation questions.

The main thing to ask before buying one of these adapters is whether you should just buy a new head unit instead. If you buy a GROM-IPD3 with the iPod cable, Bluetooth audio/handsfree interface, and the RCA/phono aux cable, the total price will probably be about the same as the price for a whole new head unit that does all of these things and maybe others as well.

So consider whether there is some reason why you might not just want a new head unit before buying this. If you don't want to change the "OEM look" or there's some other reason for not replacing the OEM head unit, an adapter like this one is a pretty good option.
