Hi, just thought I'd post this in case its of use to anyone - I've recently bought an 02 passat - nice car (!) - my first vw for a few years. Luvin it.

Bought a 2nd hand xcarlink to add ipod to the gamma radio and single cd setup.

The best way I've found to make it all work is to plug the blue plug from the xcarlink setup into the cd changer socket on the back of the cd player. Works a treat - you can use the cd player and select the cd changer option to have full use of the ipod. Took a while to work it out and searched this forum but didnt find this particular solution, so thought I'd add it in case anyone else might find it useful!
