    I've got the VW TPK installed in my car, and I'm trying to figure out how to access the aux-in option. I found the control box for the kit, and theres a media-in port on it which I presume a special wire/loom plugs into to allow aux playback.
    However, all I can find on the internet is this, a cable with an aux and USB input on the German ebay. Searching the product code comes up with nothing, so I want to know if this is what I need, and if I can get it elsewhere rather than trying to figure out ebay in German and then having to get it imported across Europe

    Just to clarify, are you wanting to play music from your phone or from another device?

    You can stream music via bluetooth with the TPK kit, but the quality isn't great.
    You can use this cable :- Volkswagen RCD210 RCD310 RCD510 Aux Input Adaptor Audio Interface Converter | eBay to connect the AUX output on the TPK directly to the radio's AUX input. That improves the quality of the audio quite a bit over the bluetooth streaming. You can also use the same cable to connect another device to the radio's AUX input.

    I'm hoping to be able to play from the aux on my mp3 player, or preferably straight from a USB memory stick. The spec for the TPK Music apparently allows playback from aux and USB devices, which is why I wanted this cable in order to do so
    I have an RCD 210 which has the ipod adapter hooked up to the CD changer, but it's rather useless as I don't own an ipod. I don't really want to replace the ipod adapter with an equivalent USB one as I won't be able to see whats playing, and I presume playback on the TPK will show the song info etc.

    Not sure if the phone kit display will show which track is being played. I've never fitted one with the optional media cable.
    The cable is an original VW part, so why not price it at your dealer. Part No. : 000 051 905B You can also use the USB port on the cable to update the firmware in the TPK control box.

    I finally got ahold of the correct cable, and it seems to work very well playing music from the USB, however, there is no audio. I've read about there being a cable missing somewhere from the TPK to the AUX in on the radio or something, how can I get the sound from the TPK to come through the speakers?

    You'll need this cable : Volkswagen RCD210 RCD310 RCD510 Aux Input Adaptor Audio Interface Converter | eBay

    Plug one end into the AUX output on the phone kit control box and the other end into the AUX input on the rear of the radio.

    I'd get in touch with them before you buy and make sure it has the correct connector for your radio. VW changed the AUX input connectors on later radios.
    If there is already a blue connector on the back of your radio, you may have to remove the pins from the supplied cable and insert them into the original blue connector.
