No maps on the screen.  I have the tomtom cradle kit now and have mounted it with the self adhesive 'disc' underneath the AC controls so you can't see it and when the cradle is attached with the phone and charging via the supplied cable into the cigarette lighter, it fills the ashtray area nicely and easy to see.  Down side in this location is you have no music plugged in.

 I know it's probably a pain mate, but is there any chance of posting a picture of it in place, i fancy doing this when i get my new car and it's a bit dear to buy all the stuff and not like how it fits. Cheers

hmm... personally I would find this a little low.  Better to have it higher so that you can keep half an eye on the road.




I mainly go off the voice instructions but I don;t find it any different to taking a glance at one mounted on the dash.  I'll get a pic sorted.

I do prefer having mine on top of the dash next to the driver's side mirror. Easy to glance at safely. Just need to remember to clean the windscreen now and again! :p

I don't have an RCD510 or even a mk6, but currently there is no way to get the iphone interface onto any type of screen by default.

I have been looking for an RCA cable for my iphone (most aren't compatible with the 3GS atm) which combined with the iphone jailbreak will allow me to show my iphones screen on the head units display. There is a jailbreak app that lets you change the TV out settings to display anything. I think that this is the only way possible at the moment, and I don't know if the RCD510 has a composite video input?

latest generation 510's have the video in for the reverse camera so there has to be a way?

Yepp I have the RNS510 with the reverse cam...and the complete multimedia stuff......still to come...

So now I wonder...when I plug an iphone in...will the music storage and display be the same as a regular I-pod and regular phone.

So the only difference will be the comfortably phone charging (it still stays bluetooth I reckon)...and one apparatus in stead of phone and Ipod or do I overlook something. :undecided:
