How to get VW Golf Mk5 CD/radio unit into AUX mode?

Question

I have a 2007 VW Golf mk5 with a pretty standard looking music player:- single CD + AM/FM radio.
I have a Motorola bluetooth phone unit connected to it, which has a 3.5mm socket connected to the back of the music player.
The instruction manual says it should be possible to put the Golf's music unit into AUX mode in order to play external music sources. It doesn't say how this is done and none of the VW garage staff i've spoken to know how to do this.
If I connect an mp3 player to the 3.5mm socket....nothing happens. It seems that somehow I have to tell the music player to go to AUX mode....anybody know how to do this?

Answer 1

If you have plugged something into the cd changer socket of the rear of the stereo then you press 'CD' to change between the cd player on the stereo and the aux imput (either a cd changer or and mp3 aux imput)



However if you have fitted the motorola thing as a blueteeth phone kit this isnt actually conected to the AUX imput and it WILL NOT WORK as a music player, these work by tapping into the speaker wires and using the phone mute wire to switch to phone mode when it rings.



What you need is a 'connects 2' cd changer emulator plugged into the cd changer port on the back of the radio, these cost £20 and take about 10 - 15 mins to fit, then connect your ipod to it and press the CD button (once for single cd then second time for AUX



Hope this helps

1. In the menus of the system you may need to enable the Aux mode to have it come up as a choice in normal use.

2.It might select Aux mode only when something is plugged in by cycling the band or mode select switch until you get to it.



Rest assured - there is a way and if it were in front of me I reckon I could do it. Cannot be specific without seeing one though.
