I have the iPad & iPlayer setup and it definitely works using the factory Bluetooth but the audio is little delayed on mine.You *should* be able to pair your iPad with the van stereo via Bluetooth the same way as you pair a phone - the iPad audio will then come through the van stereo whilst connected & both turned up.
It should work the same way irrespective of app / source eg: iPlayer, YouTube, Apple Music etc

Yeah sorry I've been mega busy these past few weeks not had chance. TBH I don't think I would get anywhere with it anyway a: because it was about 4 years ago and he might not remember and b: because he was one of the most miserable, ignorant people I've ever met and that's saying something!A Forum member said his Autoelectrician carried out a wiring modification so via a switch the System could be powered from the Leisure battery and also the 30 min cut-off was disabled.
I did ask him what was done and he was going to find out - but no reply since.
Also asked Absolut5, who specialise in VW sound systems if anything could be done. Once again No News.
