Earphone jack in Mk5 GTI

[Tarkus]

It seems from the Jetta spec sheet from VW Australia that the auxilliary audio input in the centre console is only fitted when the RNS510 satnav system is fitted.

Bugger!

I didn't want the satnav. Do you think the service centre will be able to put one in next service. I'd happily pay for it. Or is the only way they will do this for a Jetta is by getting the satnav?

Thanks for taking to answer the previous post for me it is appreciated.

You can easily retrofit the audio input on the oem headunits, glovebox would be the easiest place to install it. You can buy the kits from aftermarket suppliers as well or go for the new MDI interface that offers USB, IPOD and 3.5mm audio.

Yeah, I'm currently looking at either the Connects2 or the Denison kits as a retrofit option on my Jetta. It's just that the 3.5mm aux-input jack doens't seem to come fitted as standard on a Jetta unless you order satnav (according to the specs). I didn't get one with my Jetta TDI with the regular stereo.
