hi
next month im going to get an RNS 510 to replace my RCD 310 but what i want to know is will i have problems or lose sound quality playing music through my MDI as ive read about the differences between 2nd and 3rd generation head units and that theres sometimes problems. i was wondering if anyone could tell me what to look for to see what problems i might have and how i can fix them.
thanks Ben.

or is updating the MDI an option? anyone know how to do that?

Mot sure if this help...
I retrofitted an MDI unit when I installed my RNS510. The wiring harness I got was PnP, and the place I got it did not ask whether I had an RNS or RCD. After the retrofit, the MDI works 100%...
As for updating, there are firmware updates on my-gti.com. The module seems to have only been changed this year, and it's the first time there has been a firmware update that is for MY 2012 only.

There are some setting for external sources input levels in one of the menus
Since your swap was a 3rd gen to a 3rd gen I'm not sure it applies, but maybe worth a look.
