Anyone with an '05 get the iPOD interface to work?

My dealer tells me they haven't been able to get it to work on the '05's. I was wondering if anyone has had success yet or if I should just return the kit and forget about it.

Works great

Tell you dealer to follow their installation instructions and all should be well.

Any chance you can find out which part of the installation does not meet expectations ?

For the time being, you could just use the Aux-in plug in the glove-box. I have ben using this for a couple of years on my MY04 and it works quite well - and it is included in the car.

Where is that plug located in the glovebox? I looked all over and could not find it.

It should be in the middle top part inside the glove compartment.
