Yeah i used a regular 3.5mm jack and put it into the aux port and it worked perfectly. The cup now seems like a waste of money...im disappointed to be honest.

And the fact i cant skip songs via the steering controls when the ipod is in doesnt seem right.
 
Apparently my email is being passed onto their tech guy about the way i managed to finally play music to a decent standard.

And about lowering the car and if it affects the warranty...we'll find out i guess. :shrug:
