Hey
Quick question for you, i have just got a new iphone and it is all wired in to work on the Fiscon Bluetooth.
I called the dealer to see about getting a cable to connect it into the MDI so i can play the tunes on the RCD510 that i have.
The parts department had no idea what i was talking about and said i would need to come in and see if they have the lead and to try some out till one fits.
As i live 100 miles roundtrip from the nearest VW dealer, does anybody know what the name of the cable is or part code to save me driving all that way for them to say they need to order it in anyway?
Thanks for any help.

Is it not the same one you use for the ipod?
-
I bought one this weekend, will look later for the part number.
Parts at my local vw dealer knew what it was straight away. There are usually a couple for sale on eBay

You should have got an MDI cable as standard with the car.
-
The iPod cable is part number 000 051 446 C
It should have been included with the car free of charge.
If the dealer is giving you problems tell them to refer to Volkswagen Desktop Bulletin - 0991-08

I have a spare one pm your address and I will pop in the post for you.

Hey guys, thanks for your help on this.
I spoke to VW and they had it so i picked one up. Have tried it and the music works fine but it swithces your fone into flight mode so you cant use the phone at all and only the ipod.
Has anyone else had this problem or have i got the wrong cable?

Had it in the house but can't seem to find it, it's not nice having no iPod in my car :laugh:

It shouldn't switch it to flight mode, it should ask if you want to switch flight mode on, to which you can press no. :)

Hey Kev
Yeah im loving it. Its got nearly 13000 miles on it already and only got it in August!! Need to get new tyres already as thats them nakered!
As i do a lot of driving on country roads everyday i get the pleasure of red lining it in second and third all the time and thats when she sounds best.
I thought about getting it remapped but i have never bothered as i have enough points as it is. She is pretty fast and i always use the v power plus which helps. Tramped round every station the other day and everyone was out of super so i used regular for the first time and you definately notice it slower.
She is always a flithy b!tch though as i have not been able to wash the car at home since December as we have snow. It is just about gone now so this will be the first weekend since the 12December that we have not had snow. I refuse to take it to a car wash and cant get her to the hand wash places often. Hopefully now she can get back to her weekly wash at the weekends and look lovely white again! :grin:
Hows your GTI?

Sounds good and I'm jealous of those roads you got up there. :sad: I've not seriously thought about remapping, although I should try and build a remap myself as the guys in here say its easy to do stuff on your own with no training or experience or anyone to show you, all you have to do is learn yourself. Anywho, I just used standard 95ron and will do till these friggin petrol prices get a grip then will try something better to see if I can feel the difference. As for being dirty, tell me about it, I give her a good once over and after a 10 min drive shes manky again, roll on the good weather eh ? Your right about the lovely white, its a work of art when the GTI is all gleaming. I'm enjoying mine no end, just putting some finishing touches to it, i.e. rear LED lights, adding bluetooth shortly, a footrest, mats, door sills, and still contemplating an RNS510. After all that she'll be ready to turn the heads in the summer :smiley:

The roads we have up here are absolutely dreadful!! I can barely drive 5 miles to work every day without losing my wheel in a pot hole!! I guess its pretty much the same everywhere in the UK just now though. Glad I have my Golf Plus at the moment with its 16" wheels and big tyres... it doesn't feel them! 2 weeks and I'll have on rubber band 35 profile tyres though - eeek!

Just a quick one nearly off-topic... :rolleyes:
Will an Ipod Classic (120Gig) work with the RNS510 connected to this MDI cable....or is the RNS510 internal memory not enough...anyone tried... :cool:

You mean will the ipod work through it using the mdi cable ? then yeah no probs, it will just play whats on your ipod through your speakers as normal, it wont go through any internal memory.
-
Okay that makes sense :wink: ...so no matter how many gigs....it just reads whats on the Ipod.
This is contrary to the SD card since they must not exceed the 2 Gig...in order to be read...I found that confusing... :huh:
So far I have read in the manual that the RNS510 only does MP3...so no lossless (unless cd's ofcourse) :sad:
