Music and Media
Jettas come with a variety of factory stereo options, including in-dash CD player and CD changer; The CD Changer interface can be used as an auxiliary input with an appropriate adapter.
As noted above, I've adapted the CD Changer input for AUX, and eventual Car PC control. As yet, I have no Car PC.
