Question Cable for Ipod / Aux Port on 07?

Can anyone tell me what cable you are using for the Ipod/Aux port on your 07 Beetle? I know its a "pin" to "pin" type cable, but I'd like to know if any of you have found a certain type or brand thats better than others.

If you don't have OEM satellite radio, you can get the one from VW. If you do have OEM satellite radio, you need to go a different route. Do a search using ipod within the car audio forum and you should find some posts on this subject. There is a company that can provide and appropriate cable to allow you to have both the satellite and the ipod controls at the same time.

I bought mine from Wal-Mart, it was for the Mp3 player, and it works great for my Ipod!!

I got one from Radio Shack a couple years ago for $10. Works great.

This is your best bet. I believe they come in 2 lengths. Main advantage of the plug to plug is you can adjust the volume via the Ipod and the head unit. Personally I'm using a Belkin unit via the changer control and this charges your unit at the same time (Best?buy. The Belkin also has a volume adjustment and runs from your cigarette lighter by way of the aux plug. It's kind of bulky, but I can also use it with my Iphone.
