Volkswagen Ipod Interface Kit - 1K0 051 444
I recently came across this kit on a German website and have made enquiries with UK based VW/Skoda dealers who tell me that this product is now available in the UK at a cost of £99 Inc VAT. As far as I know it is manufactured by Denison and is similar to the Icelink, however I don't think it contains a cradle, it looks more like it is intended to fit into the glovebox or centre console storage. Currently details are a bit sketchy and are translated from German, as I get more info on the Skoda version I will modify the page. I don't think this works with the IPOD Shuffle.
The Skoda part number for the ISO version is ZGB 000051 853 and the Quadlock is ZGB 000051 852 - Ice>Link ISO Ipod Connector RRP £99 Inc VAT
These are available from IMG SEAT in Warrington for the bargain price of £91.99 Inc VAT Email Dave Lever at IMG

Fitting of this kit would mean the loss of use of a factory fitted CD Changer if you have one installed.
