I went out, removed my 6-disk changer from the center armrest to check if the connection is the same. The verdict is....... YES, YA, SI !!!!!! So in theory this modification should be 100% plug-n-play! I have a buddy in Germany that is going to check the golf 5 forums for me. I feel that this is the only part we need to make this work if we already have the Navigation unit from the factory. If this is true, then the kit vw sells here in the USA is worthless, because this is faster to install and no need to hide the ipod because it will sleep in the center armrest. And no need to remove the radio to plug anything into it. Im happier than a pig in mud right now ;)

What about the CD changer? I don't want to lose anything haha. It's weird though, I don't see why thy cant connect the ipod through the AUX when there's an AUX in the navi screen.

The aux screen on the navi your right does have a hook up for any external audio source. VW sells a cable thats 26.00 for the AUX adapter in the back of the navi, but you dont have charging for the ipod, and you also cant control it from the steering wheel or headunit. So thats why this is the optimal hookup if you dont mind loosing the CD's. I could care less for the CD's. I have 5,000 songs on m ipod.. So its more simple for me to loose the cd changer.

Yes keep us posted on this one. It looks like the right unit for iPods since you have to dump the CD-changer anyway once the $160 iPod cable is installed.

I am totaly interested in this, but question quailallstar your center looks differnt from mine. I dont have that side thing I have 1 open compartment with an AC vent in the front.

Also what about using my ipod nano instead of that ipod mini would it fit? or whatabout an video ipod.
