Hello All,
Probably the answer is somewhere, but I've searched. Can anybody point me in the direction of the iPhone 5S MDI Red Collar part number, or post it in reply here.
Thanks,
-
I believe part number not been released yet or something along those lines, collected my car last week and dealer told me Iphone 5 lead, called VWUK and they advised iphone 5 lead not released yet!!!
-
Thanks MajorKhan,
I collected my car 12/12/2013 and it had an iPhone 4 lead with red collar. However I've just changed to an iPhone 5S. I generally use an SD card if being honest, would be handy to have the MDI cable though.
Cheers

The new lead with the Lightning connector (not 30-pin connector for earlier iPhones) seems to be part number:
5N0035554F.
This link shows one sold on eBay:

I believe this cable should allow album artwork to display on the screen.

Collected my GTI on Monday 30th December (2013), and the factory provided me with one, the old cable was installed, however the new lightening cable was in the glove box waiting.
-
Just for reference:-
iPhone4/4S £36.00 (000051446C) - Blue collar (the part no. might be wrong for this as there are loads of different ones out there)
iPhone4/4S £36.00 (000051446M) - Red collar
iPhone5/5S £70.00 (5N0035554F) - Green collar
All cars produced after BW45 should come with the iPhone5 cable but some (mine included) did not due to shortages :smiley:
Perhaps this is why Volkswagen UK are saying they have not been released yet, even my dealership said the same and the guys there are really trustworthy with me.
I think its due to high demand of the iPhone5 cable thats caused stocks to run out, there are a few on eBay so I am sure these will fetch good money, I estimate they will sell for £40 upwards considering they are £70 for the dealership. :shocked:
-
Is there anyone who's had a BW45 and up car delivered that has got the lighting cable fitted?
AND - If a BW45 or up car is delivered with the old iPhone cable is fitted, should you expect the dealer to provide you with a lighting cable? Or is Ni1991 just lucky?
Thanks
-
I've searched for the iPhone 5 lead, found one or two, but postage to UK made them very expensive. Perhaps somebody else has found the iPhone 5 MDI lead at a more reasonable price.
iPhone5/5S 5N0035554F - lead - Green collar
Thanks
-
The only one's I've so far are on eBay. Not sure what the bidding will go up to though :whistle:
-
My dealer's getting me one, and he'd expecting a delivery "in the next couple of days", so presumably they're beginning to trickle through.
-
It's worth remembering that the red one works fine on an iPhone 5 using the apple lightning adapter (artwork shows, etc). This might be a bit cheaper for folk who can't get the new lead for free from their dealer.
-
Car Systems are now selling them:

EDIT: It is a different revision number to listed earlier in this thread and has a white collar. I'm not sure on the difference.
-
Thanks for the replies, think I'll just go for the adapter as I've the iPhone 4S red collar lead already.
Cheers
-
The GTD I'm picking up tomorrow had the older lead installed, but the lightening version in the same cubby hole in packaging. The 1.6TDI that was pre-reg in September that I'm also picking up had the old style lead. Reading this thread, should I expect the dealer to replace that lead with the more modern one, or stump up for it?
My wife and I both have newer iPhones that need the lightening lead.
-
I would certainly ask the dealer to supply the Lightning lead - mine came with the 30-pin adapter, but my dealer sent me a Lightning lead yesterday, FOC.
-
The GTi I took a look in on Monday this week was a bit of a strange one...
It had the "newer" USB connector behind the cubby hole flap, but still had a MDI style cable in the glove box. So they were still sending MDI cables with a car that no longer has a MDI connector :laugh:
This was a GTi that had just arrived and not PDi'd yet..
-
Mine is BW48 with Pro Nav & I have the USB......... :smiley:

Same with my car it came with the MDI leads in the glove box but I couldn't use them :grin:
-
I picked my BW50 GTD up on Wednesday (no nav) and it came with the Lightning lead and iPhone 4S blue collar lead
-
We picked up our Mk7 GTi today and it came with the blue collar as standard. I had asked for the lightning version to be thrown in as part of the deal so I was presented with a lead but from memory it's a white collar. Anyway, it doesn't connect my phone not does it charge it. Just keeps making a noise likes it's trying to connect as if it was a loose connection!
-
For the MK7 you require the lead with the green collar.
-
So if anyone has a spare green collar cable they can't use - don't be shy about throwing it my way :wink:
