Please help with connecting my iPod classic to my new car

I was wondering if there is a way to get my new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan to recognize my IPod Classic. I have tried every cable to think of, 32pin ipod cable to a c port connection, Headset jack cable to a c port connection and nothing. Looked through settings on my car and nothing! Haven't seen an auxiliary connection on the car either. Can any one help please

Auxiliary audio in jack would be the very easiest way I think. There is a factory installed (optional) aux audio jack that may or may not be present.

Which trim level/sound system does the car have?

It sounds like you already checked the console for this but can you verify there isn't one in console or in front of shifter?

This manual (not necessarily for a 2023 but as an example) shows it in the center console: https://www.vwtiguan.org/752/external_au...

Did you try connecting iPod Classic -> 30 pin to USB A sync (data) adapter (Apple MA591G/C cable or equivalent) -> USB A to USB-C adapter -> car's USB-C port (you may be saying you did try this)?
