I have tried another ipod and cable, as well as various Aux cables but still no success. any information would be much appreciated!!!!

Why are you connecting it with an 'aux' cable. The best way to connect an ipod is via USB. You should have a cable with you ipod that connects to the base of you ipod at one end and ends in a usb plug at the other. This is what you want to plug into the USB port on your Cee'd. This way the ipod is sending data out to the car system and the car system then handles turning that into an audio output to the sepakers. Also this way you can use the on wheel 'skip track' buttons to control the ipod (data) output.

In theroy you should also be able to use the headphone out socket of you ipod plugged into the aux in of the car, but this is a way inferior way of connecting. This way the ipod is not outputting data but an audio signal. You will then have to match the output volume of this audio signal using the ipdos volume so that it is not too high or low for the car system and you will not be able to control the ipod re skipping tracks with the on wheel controls.

Hope this is of some help.
