:cry:
Definately South African spec doesnt come with MDI then.
I ordered mine with RCD510, how can i upgrade?
-
Just visited UK's configurator, when you add the RCD510 in place of the RCD310, it says the MDI will be removed?
So does this mean you cant use a RCD510 with MDI? can anyone confirm please
-
^ Its a mistake on the configurator. Yes you can use it with the 510
-
How do i ask the dealer to get me the MDI then? anyone know what i need? is the integration easy?
-
Dealer supplied accessories
its from the price list for the mk6 golf listed under dealer supplied accessories. Not sure exactly what you will need with it.
Media- in-interface (plays Ipod,MP3,USB) part number 5N0 057 342 £150.20 in the UK including taxes.
They also list the cables seperate at £31.50 each
-
Thank you! ill try and ask!

Just checked on the configurator, the RCD510 with Dynaudio says it only includes aux-in:
"RCD 510 touch screen radio system with 'Dynaudio' soundpack, including dash-mounted 6 CD autochanger, 6 1/2" colour touch-screen, SD card reader, MO3 and WMA data files compatibility and Aux-in socket for connection to external audio source (i.e. iPod or MP3 player)."
The same with the RNS 510
"DVD touch-screen navigation/radio system With 6 1/2" colour touch-screen - DVD based planning and route guidance with live traffic updates, multifunction computer (highline), 30 GB hard drive, SD card reader, MO3, WMA and DVD video data files compatibility and Aux-in socket for connection to external audio source (i.e. iPod or MP3 player) and 6CD autochanger in lieu of MDI"
Does anyone have a golf 6 gti with the RCD510 or RNS510 with MDI, working 100%? wonder why they would take it out when upgrading from a RCD310 to 510.. did it come standard? did you upgrade? :huh:
-
and 6CD autochanger in lieu of MDI"
The 6CD takes the place of the MDI in the armrest. You only lose the MDI if you have the CD changer

As i said earlier its a mistake on the configurator.

i thought the 6CD was built in into the RCD10 unit. I have the RCD510 and there's no separate CD changer. Prob is that I don't play CDs! a few gig SD card is all I need!! :laugh:

Maybe I've misread you but the 6CD doesn't take the place of the MDI. The 6 CD player is part of the RCD510 which you can have with the MDI.

^ The 6 disc CD autochanger when added to the satnav unit is fitted in the centre armrest in place of were the MDI is fitted.

Ah right that makes sense. :wink:
Not sure why anyone would want to add a 6 CD player as an extra though when there are loads of other options to play music.
Especially when there is a big hard drive to add your music.

i suppose it's a little like the argument between manual and DSG :tongue: some people may not have a computer for iPod or MP3s and are more 'old-skool' and prefer just buying a CD from a shop and then they can play it straight away in the car.
-
Yeah that's true.
We just seem spoiled for a music source
CD
Ipod
SD card
USB drive
Streaming from mobile if you have the telephone facility installed.

Some audiophiles hate compressed music with a passion even when played through such a crap stereo as the golf has. As they can hear it.
I refuse to play anything thats not a lossless type format because of this. Even then you can hear a slight difference but i can put up with that for the conveniance.
Maybe also the cd changer maybe MP3 compatiable so you could burn quite a few discs rather than have to shell out for an ipod or fiddle with memory sticks that you may not be able to play at home.
-
OK, i will have to get the MDI then, my armrest doesnt have a 6cd changer its empty and has an AUX IN port oposite where the MDI would be..
-
OK, i just reviewed the configurator and this is what is on offer.

You don't need a computer or bother going to a shop. I can connect to itunes on the iphone and download an album directly to the phone and then plug it in and play. I'm 40 and drive a manual so I'd say i'm old school!!! I do also have CD's in the 510 though!

oh yes forgot about that too... thanks for pointing that out, i guess i'm pretty old skool when it comes to these things - i used to be a bit of a gadget freak, but that side of things doesn't interest me that much anymore. i still use a 3 year old PC, my mobile phone is 5 years old (and still works somehow...) and i still play PS2
