media cable and iPod classic

Post by j5-bond »

Hi Guys

Ive got a 2010 plate rocco with the entry level head unit no gps or bluetooth modules (RCD 510 Premium 8 ) I think. I recently bought a media cable to connect my iPod classic in and gain control via the steering wheel. When i connect the iPod it shows thats it charging but the car can't find it and no sound at all.

Checked the iPod was unto date so not sure what to do next??

Another thought i had was if i get the fiscon bluetooth unit as a add on to RCD 510 Premium 8 unit can i just play the music via bluetooth or is the fiscon unit just for phone calls?

Any advice would be great

Cheers

Should work fine Ive been using an Ipod classic for years with only the odd lock up. The only thing IIRC is to set the voltage on the RCD510 to avoid distortion .Is the media cable a VW original ? See if you can borrow another lead to try.
The Fiscon Bluetooth I have (2009) does stream audio but the quality is crap. Newer versions I would hope would be better!
Best of luck
