AUX jack for stock Headunit (Non IPOD Specific)

Just wondering if VWOA has any type of harness to allow the stock, non navi head unit an AUX miniplug jack.

I DO NOT want an IPOD kit which would show/control ipod functions through the headunit. I still want to select my music etc from the player itself.

(Also want to be able to hook up my PSP Laptop Portable DVD player to the jack for playback through the car stereo as well).

Please advise. The AUX adapter in the OEM Parts sticky thread lists that part as applying to the NAVI head unit only.

There was some new adapters that came in at work. I will see if they work with the headunit.

Thank you very much. My IPOD was used daily in my last car with my Alpine headunit through an aux jack. It's tough getting used to the commute without it and I know most FM modulators are medicre at best.

What about installing an FM Modulator?
Not the crappy iTRIP design, The type I am talking about are the ones that connect to a 12v lead and also connect in line with the antenna connection on the back of the head unit.

Does anyone know if the GTI has a standard antenna connector on it or is it some proprietary VW type?

We carry an item at work that works with the factory headunit for the Golf up to 05. That was as far as the list on the packageing goes. It allows you to hook up anything to it sound wise. The radios are differant on the MKIV and the MKV....not sure about the changer plugs, thats what it uses to plug into.

I am using my mk4 double din Monsoon Blitzsafe aux input adapter(enfig.com) with my mk5 oem 6-disk mp3 head unit. The harness plug is the same.:thumbsup:

I also see that the unit above plugs into the cd changer port in the trunk? at least thats what the website says. is this also true on the GTI because I dont remember seeing a port in my trunk.

They are talking about the Jetta I think. I can't remember the price or name of the unit we carry at Best Buy...but when I get to work in a bit I will post it.

No,....I don't think thats the same. Mine plugs into the back of the headunit.

This one, with the white plug:
http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/VW_AUX_DMX_V5.html

That plugs into the aux input/sat socket on the back of the NON-sat MP3 radio. The SAT radio uses this socket for input so this adapter will only work on the NON-sat(MP3) headunit.

oK thanks. looks like I need the sat passthrough cable too. I'm guessing I dont need the passthrough if I am not using the sat.

The plug we carry is from Peripheral and is $130. I imagine to install something like this is just a custom labor depending on where you want it installed.
