I Have the connection for ipod AUX cable, but Seat say i need a certain lead that will allow the ipod to charge and that i will be able to use the steering controls with, does anybody know what this AUX cable is and where i can get one from? Seat sell them near me for £100 fir an aux cable WTF!!!

i would of thought a normal aux cable you use to plug your pc speakers into the pc would be fine (like this: http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11730506/Audio_Extension_Cable.jpg) that wont allow you to use the steering wheel controls admitadly, but it wont be 100quid either

The iPod interface is £100 - this isn't just an 'aux lead' - it's a full interface giving you control of the iPod and charging it etc.

You can pick them up direct from the supplier (connects 2) for around £50 - depends how confident you are about not damaging trim getting it fitted - otherwise you may end up spending the money saved on a replacement trim panel.

On a side note you'll lose the current aux socket functionality if you get the iPod interface as they use the same port on the HU

Have you got the CUP interface with the USB connector as well?

If so the cable to connect an ipod is around £55.00 from your dealer and will play and charge the ipod

Well have a look at this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=229052 it should tell you all you need to know

I can confirm it does work and Dave at Sere Motors does them for around £50.00 or you can get one from your dealer for a little more
