ipod fm tuners

[Soundofav6]

The FM tuners is no where near as clear as a AUX/ipod connection. But it is really handy/ convinent, plug and play and easy to hide.

What about a Dension gateway 100 or a DICE iPod kit. Not sure what VW head unit you got but I believe they're compatible with most. Eventually when I get some more funds I plan on doing a setup for my car.
These guys will ship to Australia and seem to have all the kit; cradles, radio removal tools etc.

I have an ebay $5 one, proper bad, like listening to AM at midnight.
Get a different head unit would be my advice.

Yeah sorry forgot to mention that they're not that cheap. You do get control of the iPod through the stereo controls though which is a bonus. But you can get head units which can do that anyway...

I had a fm transmitter for my Mk5 & found it was hopeless so I put the Ipod connection in the glove box but I tried the transmitter in the Ibiza & it's great, the sound quality is as good as the cd stacker.

transmitters arnt that good.. keep or get the ipod connection thing.

I purchased one for the Polo previously and took it back straight away as it was totally hopeless. On the lower end of the frequencies (where you wouldnt expect too much interference at the 88.2, etc), you just couldnt pick up a clear signal without static interference while you were stationary. Once the ignition is on, it's impossible to get anything clear or audible out of it.

Thus I ended up purchasing a genuine VW Ipod adaptor for the Polo...
