Has anyone tried this cable in a VW Passatt (2007)? The ipod connection is obvious but where does the other end connect in the vehicle??

I do not have a VW Passat but, the end of the cable you are referring to is the same size as your headphone jack on your iPod. Somewhere on the dash, most likely close or on the car stereo system itself, should be a port that looks like a headphones jack. It's normally labeled "AUX". That is where you plug in the cable.

Check your owner's manual and see if you have a headphone jack for your stereo. On my Honda and my wife's Acura they were in the center console between the front seats under arm rest. According to an internet search your Passat has headphone jack in the top left side in the glove box next to the orange tab for the drop down drawer. You may need to get down and look up at the inside of the glove box to see it.

The other end is where it gets put into a slot called the Auxillery port. I don't think the VW Passatt (2007) carries it. I looked at the Wolfburg edition and the others but didn't see any type of auxillery/USB port. Think of the connection when you want to connect your headphones into your Ipod. Thats the other connection on this cable. You might have to go to either the dealership or a shop that specializes in installing aftermarket radios, speakers, etc. They should be able to help you with this.

I just bought this and tried it on my 2008 Audi A4 with Symphony II+ radio with OEM 30pin iPod connection, and it does not work. It is powered and pairs with my phone, but the radio does not recognize it when music is playing from my phone. Note that this is radio is before the new Audi MMI interfaces came out.

I'm going to assume all the newer VW use the same MDI cables. I used this on a 2013 CC and it worked intermittently, I purchased the original VW cable and it's been working fine ever since. So I'm going assume it's something to do with the cable... I wasn't the first one to have had this problem. My advice - just spend the extra $30 and get the OEM cable

Do you have the same sort of plug in your glove compartment as this one with an iPod male plug? If yes, I have the same setup in my 2008 Audi A6 and it works well for me to connect to my Android via the headphone jack. Hope this helps.

Sana, works fine with Ipod with standard connection, works with iphone 3s those are what I use to connect using this cable. Does not show video because the nav is setup for audio only. Ipad1 and ipad2 don't work.After you crank the car pull in your ipod or iphone. Media button on the nav system or radio. Select your music and play!

I bought this item thinking it would do the same for my VW Tiguan but it doesn't. This cable is used to connect a flash drive I guess.......

Hi Todd,You may want to try other diagnostic applications with this cable. In my case I used software from Ross-tech which is VW/Audi specific and it worked like a charm. I am guessing that the software you are using may not be detecting the cable correctly.

With my 2001 vw factory radio the only thing you have to do is unplug cd cable on the back of the radio (blue connector) and plug the aux input in instead (as well blue color). Very simple! Good luck

Not certain, Volkswagen on the 2013 had it set up for multiple type players with multiple type cables; I personally am just using a pen drive for my music and make my selections from the Navigator, hope that helps.

You will need the appropriate wiring harness kit for the Volkswagen Passat. i.e. so steering controls work, etc.. It does NOT have a back up camera. Bluetooth works with 5/5s. I have a iPhone 5 and works great ... it is actually my preferred way to connect to Pandora for example vs. wired connection.

I did not look up that Alpine unit, but that is the reason why I bought this cable. My headunit in my pickup only had an Ipod Male, so I use this cord to play Pandora through my Android phone. It works well and is better quality than the other cord i previously bought.*edit: Make sure the Alpine unit can play AUX connections though. I had to change the settings in my headunit's menu from iPod to AUX to play through the cord.

I own a ML, but I think that the Comand 2.5 system works similar in both cars. Basically with this cable you can connect a Flash Drive, or any other USB device. You'll have to disconnect the Apple & aux. cable and to connect this cable. As my personal experience, I used it once when I received it, and after that it sits inside the glove compartment. Hope that this helps. Good luck.

A junk yard...I didn't even bother though. I looked up a thread on an Audi forum and found which wires were power and ground..then I just used my old connector. All you have to do is move the wires in the connector. What type of car do you have? If you can tell me that I can help you a little better.

I never been able to control the iPod using the car buttons with this cable. Every time I used it always connect iPod in Aux mode and not in iPod mode

I went to a local car audio store to get the correct wire harness adapter and dash trim/din set, I would recommend finding a local car audio store that sells those parts to you can connect everything right and have it look nice. Mine looked awesome and played great, I don't have the car I put it in any more, and I really miss it.

The aux connector on mine is in the front. We just ran the aux cable through the dash and plugged it in the front. It works great.

Not sure this is the cable you are looking for. Most vehicles have a 3.5mm audio jack for playing music. This one is 3.5mm audio to RCA
