How to Add an iPod to a VW With Gamma/Beta/Delta Head Unit

For those of you who love your iPods and VW, your day has come. Now you will be able to hook the iPod into your Gamma/Beta/Delta head unit and actually take advantage of the dials on your car's stereo system.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. Start the installation of your iPod to the VW with a Gamma/Beta/Delta head Unit by removing the VW radio. Use the VW removal keys that come with your vehicle. The keys are also available through the car dealership.

2. Take out the screw that is on the left side of the radio's back, slip the ground cable in place and then replace the screw.

3. Insert the male end of the CD player into the dedicated port for the CD changer.

4. Hook up your iPod to the Gamma/Beta/Delta head unit. You may have to purchase a connector that will fit into the delta unit and the iPod.

5. Actuate the controls on your iPod by using the dials for the stereo buttons or the controls located on the VW steering wheel.

6. Use your iPod Nano, Video, Mini, iPod 4 and iPod 3.

7. Look for the cables that connect to your Gamma/Beta/Delta head unit. You will find that there is more than one brand. However, all of the interfaces work similarly and have the same installation steps as those described above.
