iPods are portable music devices that let you listen to music while you're on the go. Opt to give your radio a break by connecting your iPod to your car stereo. If you drive a 2005 Volkwagen Jetta, you have two options for connecting your iPod. Your Jetta does not come with an AUX jack but you can use either a cassette adapter or an FM transmitter. In either case, installation is quick and simple.
Instructions
Cassette Adapter
1. Power on your stereo. The factory stereo in your Jetta will not accept cassettes with the stereo powered off.
2. Insert the cassette adapter into the tape deck with the cord facing you.
3. Press the button labeled "tape side" on your stereo to flip your cassette to side B. You will know the tape is on side B because an indicator will appear on the stereo screen.
4. Insert the adapter plug into your iPod ear jack. Power on your iPod and your music will play through the Jetta's speakers.
FM Transmitter
5. Plug the FM transmitter into the lighter socket located beneath the Jetta's stereo.
6. Remove the "3.5" jack from the FM transmitter installation kit. Plug the jack into the transmitter, then into your iPod ear jack.
7. Turn on your iPod and the Jetta's FM stereo. Click "Play" on your iPod. Tune your radio to the lowest settings on the dial using the tuner knob. Browse through stations until you hear your iPod music playing. The transmitter typically configures automatically to transmit on the lowest unused channel available on your FM radio.
