Post #15 in this thread will help you.

I suppose that it could be a difference in operating systems or just system settings. Either way, you should be able to manually select the driver by doing the following:

 

1. Disconnect all USB devices OTHER than the VAG-COM cable (keep that plugged in)

2. Right-click on My Computer (XP), or Computer (Vista, Win7)

3. Click "Manage"

4. On the left, click "Device Manager"

5. On the right, expand "Ports (COM & LPT)"

6. You should see COM2 or something, and that's your VAG-COM cable

7. Right-click on that, choose "Properties"

8. Click on the "Driver" tab

9. Click "Update driver..."

10. Now, depending on your OS, you should be able to choose something like "Browse computer," "let me choose device," or "have disk" etc. Here's where you navigate to the EcuFlash folder and change the driver.

 

Let me know how that works for you.

I got it from here. Quality seems good, length was perfect.

If I was doing this again, I would've got a 5' male-male cable and just run that out of the same place. You still need a male-male cable to plug into the the ipod anyway, which is just one extra cable in the link.

Those of you using aftermarket dock cables, please mention whether or not you get the "not designed for" nag screen on your device.

No nagging with the cable I got. But it causes another problem:

low setting. The output level is almost the same as through the headphone at 80% of volume.

That solves my problem. I need to buy this cable! Thanks for your help.

@rng: looks like there is too much output level from your cable. I'm personnally using a similar setup with a Griffin Autopilot and I don't have any distortion problem.. Does your unit work fine when used with the headphone output of your ipod?

Yes, it works perfect with the (iPhone) headphone output with volume at 75%. Maybe the cable is the problem...

Just checked out the Autopilot: do you use the hi or low setting?

I got one of these for a surface mount 3.5mm jack:

Fits really well, looks good, and has enough cable length to get to the headunit. Mounted it in the same place as tlo, and no clearance problems here.

I also got this cable so I could use the PDMI plug:

I use a 12v-USB adaptor for charging from right beside the input jack. I find if I use the PDMI cable though, the output volume level is too high and starts to distort at anything above volume 3 on the headunit (like when you have the iPod volume at 100%, rather than the recommended 75% when using the headphone jack). I've only seen one other person on here use this setup - any issues? Redfloyd, do you know if there's a way around this?
