Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today it's how to link your
iPhone or iPad to your stereo system on your Volkswagen T5.1 and you can do this wirelessly
via bluetooth, now the first thing to try is go to your stereo and on some of the
more modern stereos it's actually got bluetooth audio enabled in the stereo, so go to [Menu],
click on [Setup] and you've got this option called [BT-Audio] now you can turn that on
or off if you turn that on and then take your iPhone, search for bluetooth devices
see if you can actually connect to it that way but on this particular model it only allows you
to connect your phone to make telephone calls not for playing any audio so it's definitely
worth trying that function first, but what we're going to be doing now is connecting a wireless
bluetooth device we'll get that all sorted and then at the end we'll have a lovely cup of tea
what you need is any bluetooth device that can output to a three and a half millimetre
headphone jack now I've just got this one here which I got off a well-known auction website
and it was as cheap as chips
this comes with the headphone jack on it so what I'm going to do first is quickly charge it up
let's just speed this footage up this is half an hour later
fully charged now let's go into the van climb aboard sir
and we're inside the beast here and if you open the passenger glove box you'll notice inside here
you've got an Auxiliary In [Aux In] and this is a three and a half millimetre headphone jack
if you turn on your stereo select the [Media] button and you want to select [AUX]
and that is the auxiliary input in the passenger glove box
take your bluetooth device with a three and a half millimetre headphone jack plug it into this socket
on this particular bluetooth device you just hold this button in to activate it
so I'm just going to switch it on and it should tell me through the speakers
'Power on, pairing', there we go now take your iPhone or iPad go into the Settings
turn on the bluetooth now it can still be in airplane mode it doesn't make any difference
turn on the bluetooth then you'll see a list of all the devices available now I know that the top
device here is the bluetooth device connected once you've connected to it once it'll automatically
reconnect if the device is on now we can go into our music app and start playing some music
fantastic that is now coming out of the speakers in your Van
so if you can put your iPhone up on the dashboard in a holder that means you've got
access to all your music on your iPhone or your iPad
then you can just go off for a lovely drive and listen to your favourite tunes, absolutely superb.
You can link your iPhone or iPad directly to that auxiliary port using a three and a
half millimetre cable but obviously on the modern iPhones you don't get a headphone
output jack so then you have to buy an adapter and plug it into the adapter and then you've
got a great big long wire so obviously the wireless solution is the best option,
you can also try the FM transmitter devices but if you're lucky enough to have a modern
Volkswagen hopefully it's got Apple Carplay on it and you do not need this video!
