ooook
so we have a RCD510 in the 2008 Tiguan with a parrot kit but it seems iffy at best
when there is a connection it plays at a constantly high volume which we aren't able to adjust
so... i am thinking
rip out parrot kit as it seems defunct anyway
install some kind of MDI connection
questions:
1. what will we need to achieve this
b. will it allow FULL ipod/iphone control through the headunit

You could go the whole hog and get the VW touchscreen satnav which have SD card slots and throw in OEM bluetooth kit :whistle:

Is it possible to iPod the rcd510 though?
We won't be upgrading to the rns anytime soon and the current one has sd card slot

You can get a kit but functionality is limited I believe :undecided: i.e scrolling through playlists is cumbersome. Im not sure if the latest MDI interface improves things :undecided:

thank you dude.. thats the one i think
have been having a look on oemretrofits and it seems to be the recommended solution
http://www.oemretrofits.co.uk/OEM-iPod-integration.shtm#mdi (http://www.oemretrofits.co.uk/OEM-iPod-integration.shtm#mdi)
the egay version is much cheaper though
now have to work out how to fit it! :grin:

Flathead screwdriver and a torx bit set should be all that you need :whistle:

was looking at stereo removal last night... all seems ok
where would the MDI module sit? or isn't it that complikated?
was thinking maybe bluetooth module too? or would that be overkill?

I think on the Goof's they fit into the armrest or to keep it simples just run it next door to the glovebox :smiley:
Have you got a MFSW?

no... steering wheeeel is simples
yeah i know i could run the cable into the glovebox or armrest (will probably go for armrest as it will be easier for access).. but i was wondering about the actual MDI module.. does it attach to the back of the headunit or do you have to find a home for it? i watched some video (in french) of some dude fitting a bluetooth module which he positioned under the passenger seat :undecided:

The unit itself will either sit behind the headunit or on top of the glovebox :smiley:
The bluetooth module is fitted under the passenger seat but I suppose you could position it elsewhere. That is the factory fitted location :nerd:

well that makes sense now... thank you
is the BT module worth it?

It would be if you had a MFSW :undecided: Is the headunit you got touchscreen? Otherwise you're messing about with the phone to make a phone call :sad:

yeah its a touchscreen... although thinking that the VW unit might be better
there seems to be various solutions so i am confused what to go for now :undecided:

That makes things easier then :smiley:
Just remember you will need VAGCOM to get it all coded up and working properly :wink:
