#70 of 77 MP3 Jack Location? by lucynethel Mar 13, 2008 (1:04 pm)
Just brought home my new 08 Rabbit 2 door. Even though I do NOT have an IPOD, bought the add on for it just to get the armrest. I DO have ( & used to always use) an MP3 player in my Yaris. I read someplace here about the jack for my MP3 player being in the right glove box? I can not find that sucker! Any better clues as to where an old crippled man like myself may find such a thing? 4 hours of driving this 6 speed auto tranny WABBIT around & I am STILL finding "gadgets" about every minute or two......But i can NOT find the darn jack for my MP3 player. Any info much appreciated. Lucy Replies to this message: shirotori (Mar 13, 2008 3:21 pm) rebe01 (Jun 13, 2008 11:14 am)

Replying to: lucynethel (Mar 13, 2008 1:04 pm) The MP3 jack should be in the front right corner. I have an 07 Rabbit with the iPod adapter. However, the MP3 jack will not not work when the iPod adapter is installed. so unless this has changed with the 08s, you better buy an iPod if you wish to listen to music via an external player.
#72 of 77 iPod adaptor and RNS-510 by rv65 Mar 15, 2008 (6:30 pm)
A new iPod adaptor with USB is coming out maybe for 09. Also a new Navigation system is coming out. This new navigation system is touch screen and has a 30 GB HDD. No Maps are out yet but the Tiguan and Jetta sportwagen are the first to get it. MY09 is when this thing will debut. The hard drive also stores Music. Supports HDRadio, Sirius, Sirius Traffic, CD changers and more. SD card slot adds a nice touch. A new bluetooth unit will complement the unit. The new bluetooth module will integrate with the unit, MFD, and phone button. That requires programming. This unit is for a Skoda but VW could use it also. If you have a factory external CD changer or iPod adaptor then CD and AUX ground wire will have to be swapped to prevent distortion. The RNS-510 may require VAG-COM programming but the unit's aren't really avaliable in the US yet. It will come out with the maps. Maps from the current USA system wont work so yeah.   Also VW is going to release an RCD-510. This unit is like the RNS-510 but has no GPS unit. No hard drive but 6 disc cd changer and SD card slot. Works with the Skoda/VW BT unit and more.   Hope this helps.

Replying to: lucynethel (Mar 13, 2008 1:04 pm) I did the same thing you did. I got the iPod adapter for the armrest, and i searched everywhere for the AUX input to the stereo. Unfortunately, they replace the AUX jack with a light in your glove box when they install the iPod adapter.   In short, you don't have an AUX jack, so you'll either have to use an iPod, or take it to the dealer and have them disconnect the iPod adapter and replace it with an AUX jack. Of course, make sure you request that they not remove the arm rest . I am going to ask them how much this costs when i go in for my 5k service.
#74 of 77 Cd's by btetkowski Jul 24, 2008 (10:53 am)
I have problems playing cd's that I have burned. Older burned cd's that I have seem to work but I have recently burned a whole bunch and it always comes up as an error. Does anyone else have this problem? Replies to this message: sf2fla77 (Aug 16, 2008 6:24 am) crazedcommuter (Feb 20, 2009 8:55 pm)

Replying to: btetkowski (Jul 24, 2008 10:53 am) I'm having the exact same issue. I have tried burning as an audio cd, mp3, etc using two differant brands of cd's (stupid i know, but, i am ready to pull my hair out)   Anyone know what i might be doing wrong?

Replying to: steven39 (Aug 20, 2007 5:13 pm) I have this problem of the bass 'spiking' also on the radio in my 2007 Rabbit. Turns out there is a VW technical bulletin about it, and the dealer did a software update for the radio. It seemed to fix it so far, but I just had it fixed 5 days ago, so we will see, I guess. I thought I heard a small bass spike the other day, but nothing like it was before. It could have been the song or reception also.
#77 of 77 Cheap CD Player by crazedcommuter Feb 20, 2009 (8:55 pm)
Replying to: sf2fla77 (Aug 16, 2008 6:24 am) My 2008 Rabbit's 2nd CD player just quit working again. I bought the car in June and the 1st CD player quit reading burned cd's first and 2 days later all cds. I called VW service and took it in. VW over nighted me a new unit and installed in about 20 minutes for free last October. Now this player has the same issues. No cd will play. What gives VW? Why are you installing el cheapo head unitis in the Rabbits? To save $ I guess. I've bought cheap Kraco's and Craig units in the past that never failed to play so these failures amaze me. Do all VW's have the same crap stereo?   The car has been other wise been flawless except for the crummy stereo.
