I have a Gen III Ipod Classic that I tried hookin up to my IPOD Connector in my 2008 TC but when I select the IPOD function, it says that I need to plug an IPOD like its not reading it. Does anyone know what the problem is? Maybe loose connection in the center console?? If so, how do you go about tearin the center console apart to get to the connector??

 

Well first off you have a 2008 tC. Dont tear it apart because you can probably get free warranty service from the dealer. Try using a different iPod, that will narrow it down to an issue with your head unit/Connections or your iPod. If it is a problem with your iPod than you are SOL, if it is a problem with your Head unit / Connections than the dealer should repair that free of charge. (Assuming you havent passed 36,000 Miles.)

 

Ya i figured out how to tear the center console open and the adapter for the IPOD wasnt even plugged in on the inside. What and easy fix, now Im releived. Thanx for your reply.

 

Classic!!

I've also heard that the cubby hole light sometimes is not attached to it's position on the center console.
It's an easy fix as well; just push the bulb and wire into place.

 

haha ya one of the my LED's was actually not all the way plugged in too they need to make damn sure all the parts are put together correctly before the sell em damn

 

so does anyone know if the new ipods work on an 09 tC? I tried searching but wasn't sure if any 09's had issues with the newer nanos. was hoping to pick one up soon

 

try it and find out
