I’ve just changed from an Octavia to a Karoq. The ‘17 reg Octavia allowed me to connect my iPod classic via a USB-A connection in the centre console.

However, the ‘20 reg Karoq now has USB-C connection and having bought an adapter, I have discovered that the iPod is now incompatible.

Additionally, there is no SD card slot and my attempts to experiment with a USB ‘pen drive’ resulted in a horrendous ‘electronic noise’ suggesting something wasn’t quite right.

Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations for a suitable solution. My iPhone doesn’t have storage capacity and I’d rather have all my music readily accessible, than have to change files regularly.

Any hints or tips or recommend gadgets would be very much appreciated.

Thanks 😊 

 

How much capacity do you need?
 

first reaction is I think your going to have to buy a new iPod or iPhone with greater capacity. 
 

or you can go modern and stream all your music from itunes in the cloud... you’d need a data plan that is either unlimited or allows unlimited Apple Music streaming like Advanced 3 plans... called go binge. 
 

 

I've transferred all my music files from my SD cards to a tiny USB-C memory stick, and it all works fine. It has a USB-A connector on one end to connect to my PC, and a USB-C on the other end to plug in the car. And it's small enough to fit under the sliding panel too.

When I found that my old iPods (3 generations) wouldn’t work in the car any more, I simply moved to an old iPhone5, dedicated to holding music without using it as a phone. Old phones are cheap if you don’t already have one lying around.

 

My normal phone doesn’t have space for music (my choice), but I have discovered internet Radio Paradise and I happily cache bundles of their music (choice of Main, Rock or Mellow mix) to play in car at my leisure.

 

I certainly don’t have a data plan that would let me stream live music on the road.

 

ps - I also use an SD card occasionally to top up my jukebox bundle
