ipod to mp3 player?

[leedebs]

Got the ipod connection fitted under the front driver's seat.
Didn't realise you lose the aux in & 12V socket when the ipod jack is fitted
Wondered if there was a way to connect my mp3 player as I don't have an ipod to this dock via an adaptor so that I can use this connection.
If so I could run a lead under the seat up to the centre console & connect me mp3 player there.
Anyone know if there's some form of adaptor available on the market?

That sounds strange to lose the 12V. I need that for my sat nav! Can you take out the ipod jack when not using the ipod to plug something else in?

My understanding from what I have been told is that you would not lose the 12V socket, only the Aux in

That's what the lease company were told by Seat customer services
Not too bothered about losing the 12v socket as it was in the back but very disapointed to not have the aux in

Sorry I meant you lose the rear 12v socket not the front, also a cigarette lighter is fitted in the slot strange that there is no mention of this on the brochures/website
Not sure if you can take out the jack tbh, presumable as it's factory fit I guess it's a permanent connection. Would be easier if I could use an adaptor

I have put a 4 gang aux 12v outlet on the l/h side of the driver seat and connected the fly lead to the back of the OE 12v aux socket/lighter cos when you fit a aux 12v in the OE socket/lighter it stick too far up which pi@@ed me off!

you can get ipods cheap on ebay now days, even the cheaper clones fit.
