I've got the Z1 working great in my SRX, and I have the DICE i-VW-R Interface setup on my 06 Jetta factory CD radio. The DICE has limited control features. I'm looking for another brand/type of interface for an 06 Jetta that will preform better than the Dice. Allowing for complete or better control through the head unit and possibly text on a non-navigational factory radio.

 

Also, I have the 3.5mm input jack inside the glove box to connect the iPod from the ear plug jack to the factory radio. With the 3.5mm cable I can play music through the HU with the controls of the iPod without the charging feature. I'm wondering if I use a 3.5mm cable that has the ipod adapter on the other end,

I'll be able to charge the ipod and be able to control the ipod from the factory radio?

 

Anyone ever us this interface?

Unfortunately the PIE adapter from MRS (MyRadioStore, which by the way is a great place to shop) will not charge the iPod. The 3.5mm jack will not output sufficient power to charge a digital music player.

Without purchasing a lot of cables, I'm thinking the 3.5 iPod Adapter Cable 3.5-POD from Precision Interface Electronics is going to work like the basic 3.5 x 3.5 cable out of the ear phone jack on top of the ipod.
