VW iPod Car kit & Bluetooth USB/MP3

I have done some research on trying to find something to hook up all of these items, Has anyone seen this stuff ?? I am ordering up one to try out , I am able to order at a discounted rate if more then one ! When I receive this I will post photos and feedback .

#1 Will I be able to see the song tracks on the screen

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']It is not possible for it to display track names/information on the head unit in this way. However you can still view track timer and the ability to control your ipod through the car stereo/steering wheel controls. Access to your iPod controls will also be fully available when connected, allowing you to control the ipod itself using the clickwheel etc. [/font]

#2 Will it charge the ipod at the same time

Yes the ipod will be charged automatically when connected.


#3 Will the controls work on the steering wheel ?

Yes, you can control the ipod through the steering wheel controls, just as if you were using a CD changer

Please also note that our interface allows you to retain your CD changer, and will not lock the ipod screen/controls when connected.
