Have you checked here? Plenty of info about the unit, including pics

Ah excellent - thanks heaps.
Totally scrolled past that!

Looks like i'll be putting in an order for the universal dock - cheers!

Has anyone here ever seen a Universal VW Genuine Handy Adapter? I have a iPhone 5, my wife has a 4, and we both have cases on our phones. I'd also like to not muck around with the VCDS coding, so that we can continue using the touchscreen if we want.

From my searching, I can't see a universal model, only ever phone specific ones... is this true?

You can still use the Touch adaptor even with VCDS coding.
I'm using it at the moment until Bury release an iPhone 5 cradle.

I'm not sure what to suggest to you, as I've not seen any short mini-USB to 30pin iphone plugs. I think if you got the universal one, with the mini-USB you'd need a mini-USB to 30pin, and a 30-pin to lightning adaptor.

I'd personally recommend getting both an iphone 4 and an iphone 5 cradle, as it's going to look better than heaps of adaptor cables, but that's my 2c

I actually have gotten rid of my iPhone 4S in place of a Lumia 920, and have one of the iPhone 4/4S adaptors to sell. If you are interested let me know I paid 150 EUR for mine, but happy with anything really lol

Oh, thanks - thats good to know and changes my thoughts on what to get.

Ive seen these two - micro-usb to lighting, and micro-usb to 30-pin:

Lightning to Micro USB Adapter - Apple Store (Australia)
Apple 30 Pin Male to Micro USB Female Adapter - Black - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

Which I think will be discreet enough when paired with the micro-usb cable. Plus by going down the universal mount, we can always leave our phones in their cases, which I don't believe is possible with the phone-specific cradles (as they are a snug fit)?

Cheers and thanks for the advice, and for all your efforts on this thread!

I'm epicly confused.

I brought the Bury iPhone 4S cradle which.. worked fine.

Yet the Bury Active Universal cradle, my Polo's MFD always says "Insert Breastplate into Cradle".

Is this a VCDS coding issue?

[staz88]

The iPhone cradle is seen as a valid cradle whereas the universal cradle is not. A quick vcds recoding fixes it.

Does anyone know if its possible to have one of the buttons on the steering wheel active the iPhone home button, to initiate Siri?

Is there some kind of VCDS magic that will do this?

Not possible at the moment, it's only been introduced on the latest cars such as the Merc A-class. It may be possible in the future with newer Bluetooth modules though, but you'll have to buy it and replace the one in the car.

What coding to VCDS is required to make the Universal cradle work? My car is going in tomorrow to get the RVC camera & RNS510 installed so I can ask them to do it then.
