Hi all,

I've just had the Dension i-pod docking cable installed in my Octavia which has the Bosch Stream head unit. It looks like in order for it to be any use I have got to create playlists which is no great problem. Is it normal that you must select the playlist you want before you plug the i-pod in? And is it normal that you cannot browse the i-pod once it's plugged in, so in order to change playlist you must disconnect, select the new list and reconnect?

:confused: Hi I have just installed the same kit, and i`m finding the same fault!!! I`m also finding it selects what it wants to play very randomly!!!! Any thoughts on this would be grateful!!

do yours not change the palylist when you choose different CD's? ie, CD2 = playlist 2.

The ipod doe lock whilst its connected to the unit but you can change the settings to make ipod controls work but i think this then turns off the buttons on the stream, ie next track will only work on the ipod not the head unit.

I had a Dension 400 in my Octy and it worked the playlists fine through my MFD2

Hi thanks for your replies!! Please forgive me but the playlist`s how does that work. I have deleted all playlist on my Nano and what i presume is a new playlist but still cd1 not playlist 1 and cd2 is the playlist 1 as prev played!!!

i set up 5 playlists on my ipod on the pc. connect the unit and they all work with cd1 - cd5. if yours doesnt do this then i guess there may be a problem. could you try another ipod to rule out teh mp3 side?

Thanks for that!! So am i right in thinking if i was to split the music inbetween 5 playlist i should be ok??

you should be but its odd that it doesnt work on one playlist. ive not tried a single playlist on mine though.

What i did was just plugged my nano in and tried it and it was doing allsorts!! so i deleted the current lot of playlists and created 2 one for my wife and one for me!! but that didnt work. i have just made 5 playlists and will try tomorrow! will update you. many thanks!!!

Thanks for this. The dealer didn't explain the functionality, rather just fittted it and said it works, off you go! I have now sorted out the playlists and it works fine.

Don't suppose you know how to change the settings to make the ipod controls work?
