Top shelf of the glove compartment?

Ryan T

No there is a switch there to turn off the passenger airbag but nothing for ipod

dlambirl

Not being smart but are you sure there is one....

Not all cars have them as standard.

did you spec this option when buying the car? my friend has an 07 GTi and has no Aux In or iPod connection.

Ryan T

Says in radio handbook that there is one but I can't find it !!!

alexmcred

I'd say it doesn't have one unless you ordered it. The manual is a generic one so may show stuff that you do not have.

If there is a round socket called Aux-In,it will accept a jack plug from the headphone output of an Ipod.It's not a docking port .

nice, seems to be standard above SE spec alright, maybe ring a VW dealer ASAP, just before 6pm and the guys will be able to tell you exactly over the phone where it is.

colm_mcm

they list a multimedia Aux in alright. it's not in the armrest is it?

Ryan T

No not in the armrest

cml387

Radio/CD player RCD310 inc 6 speakers and aux-in socket


It's an input socket on the radio itself

Ryan T

So is it on the front of the radio

Nonoperational

Maybe if you looked?

Ryan T

Do you think i have not looked before I asked all these posters for their help:mad:

colm_mcm

def not here?



Not being funny or anything, just with an armrest fitted it would be hard to spot (if it was there!)

You asked is it on the front of the radio. It's not in a secret location. Check the usual obvious places if it's not there you don't have one.

Ryan T

Thanks colm mcm

But its not in the centre armrest- will call to the vw dealer to ask them

Thanks very much

colm_mcm

the website says a multimedia input, but even on the GTI they just say Aux input. weird.

Ryan T

Hi gpf 101

do you have new car jealousy or are you having a bad day?

Nonoperational

Did you check in the boot?

ceegee

is there a storage space under the passenger seat ? Have seen it there in some cars, dont know about the golf though

Ryan T

No checked there. Am convinced its not there at all.

What do i do if its not in the car when its listed in the spec

Vain

Hey it should be in one of the compartments near the handbrake, my bro has one it says aux in on it, from what i remember its in a draw you pull back and it also has a vw bottle opener in there?

EDIT: its only a small hole like a ear phone socket so maybe your not spotting it as you think its a dock for your ipod.

cml387

Sorry chaps, VW say it's in the front centre armrest.

Gumbo

as above, i think the OP is looking for an actual ipod like connecting not knowing that its only an aux in not an actual ipod connection as such.

maybe he is just over looking it, it has to be there its standard item, unless the dealer just added on the visiable comfortline extras to basic SE if thats possible???

Ryan T

Not there either Vain

Gumbo

is this a game of hide and seek???

is this your radio OP?

on page 14 of the Golf booklet it says the MDI is under the armrest - http://www.volkswagen.ie/media/country/ie/x/pdf_downloads/brochures.Par.0009.File.pdf/golf_brochure_my_2010.pdf

Looks the same as my bros mk6, only difference is the arm rest is up. It should still be in the same spot as yours, its only a aux in point for the ipod which is just a round hole that you get a aux cable to connect the ipod to the aux in hole.

EDIT: this is what your looking for http://media.photobucket.com/image/mk6%20golf%20aux%20in/99hjhm/Lupo%20GTi/DSC00148.jpg?o=1

Should be under your arm rest.

alexmcred

How is it different its the same console they have in the mk5 and they always put ipod connectors in there. Do you have arm rest etc?

Ryan T

Yes I have the armrest but under the armrest is not the same as that photo. Mine has one pocket under the rest and not 2 as the one in the photo has

Yes and its in the pocket, well at least it should be, your only looking for a small hole not a dock.

alexmcred

Time to call the sales person you were dealing with me thinks. Sounds like someone screwed up here. Op may be best to throw up a pic of your armrest

cml387

OP, please come back afterwards and tell us, don't leave us in limbo.

Ryan T

Will do

Nonoperational

If there is not one i'd imagine it'd be easy to add one. Get them to do it for free. No I'm not jealous I was only messing with ya...!

Vain

Just asked my bro and he said its in the pull back compartment with the vw bottle opener near the handbrake, his is a 09 tdi highline tho so maybe your spec is base and doesnt have it?

Ryan T

Its a comfortline- and its listed as standard equipment- I will get back on later after I contact the dealer

Father has the same car but it's in the centre arm rest!
Hard to see because it's placed on the front wall of the compartment and difficult to get an aux lead into it because it can't be seen clearly from the drivers seat.

OP it should be in the centre arm rest, your looking for a socket the same as a headphone one.

TBH i thought it was an optional extra around 70yoyos?
You sure you are not looking at an english spec sheet?

Ryan T

No its on vw.ie site and in brochure for ireland
