    How would you go about doing this when your radio is like the one pictured?

    I'm thinking connect an Auxiliary Jack but wouldnt know where to start.

    You could also get a bluetooth receiver on Ebay for about 6 Euro. It is quite small, similar to the ordinary USB flash drive. It's got a line out so it can be plugged in AUX input of your headunit. You'll be able to play from your phone or mp3 player over the bluetooth. There are plenty of videos on youtube showing similar set ups.

    I'm not the op, but looking to do similar here for a RCD200 unit in a VW.

    Did you go with one of those kits that plug into the cd changer port on the back of the unit ?

    I bought off of abelektronik on eBay the ' Set Adapter Aux ( Quadlock ) (12 Pin) + Resetting Sbügel VW Delta 6 VW Rcd 200 ' but the keys DO NOT come with it so you've to buy them separately. I followed a video tutorial on youtube and got the whole thing done in about 20 mins before heading into a lecture, it's fairly easy! I have had it for nine months now and no issues so far, sometimes it doesn't play but you just have to turn your radio on and off again.

    Be careful when dealing with the keys, they are very weak metal and will bend, I was worried about snapping some of them off and still have 2 stuck in my radio. If you can't find the seller on eBay give me a PM and i'll link you directly, it won't let me post a link.
