Hey guys
I just bought a 2006 Jetta 2.5L fully equipped (sunroof, leather etc) and wanted to know if theres a way I can make the music from my iPhone 5 play?
I have the little thing plugged in the 12V slot with a USB plug on the other end and plugged my charger on it but obviously I can't play music through that..
I'd like to know if theres anything I can do to play music from my phone? Aux or something?

Thanks in advance

put in a new head unit would be the easiest thing.

you'll get a dash kit with it that makes it look like it belongs there.

if you want go get about as cheap as you can

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_60595_Pioneer-DEH-2500UI.html when you add to cart you'll put in car info and you'll see the other things you need to get with it

it'll be $187 before import fees.

unplug battery
follow directions

the wiring is very simple and color coordinated. you'll get a picture guide for it and everything
removing the dash trim is something you'll need to look up. most cases it just pops on/off though so just don't get carried away and you'll be fine doing this.
the dash kit also comes with instructions and pictures so its easy to do

you'll need some butt connectors and electrical tape, and wire strippers/pliers.

np.

when you attach the wires with butt connectors tape them on each end as a backup. butt connectors can be tricky to get right so better to double up than to have to take it all back out lol.
