Installed iPod for Phaeton
Compliments of MichaelGa @ www.vwvortex.com
I wanted to share with everyone a very easy 10 minute or less job to improve your listening pleasure or if you ever wondered if you could hook up an iPod to your Phaeton. Well you can!
First you will need to remove / pull out the CD changer in the glove box to access the cable attached to the back of it. You need the VW radio keys but if you don't have them, not to worry. A metal nail file or what I used a simple hanging file folder stripped from its cardboard.
It actually fits both slots at the same time but I did one side first. You know when the clip releases as the changer will do a slight pop out forward.
Once both sides pop, you can slide the changer out and unplug the cable from behind as seen below. I ran the cable down one of the slots in the back

Now connect the unit of your choice (must work with a Phaeton) to the cable that was connected to the CD changer.
And the final result with an iPod nano attached and working!
You have two options, remove the CD changer and use that space to install the unit and iPod or what I did. I preferred to leave the changer in place. The choice is yours. This particular unit can also read music from a USB memory stick
