With the CMS system: The centre console comes with a iPhone connector, you just need to buy or ask nicely to get a USB lead instead. I kept mine from my MK6. There is an SD slot in the glove box along with a CD player

Didnt know it had a cd player - I sold all my cds after transfer to hard drive!

Can I plug a 1tb usb3 portable hard drive in to the glove box as its full up with mp3 files?

Yeah you can, I have used a HDD on mine for a while. Just make sure it's small because there isn't a lot of room

With the standard Composition Media System/Discovery Nav there is no USB port to connect to from factory. Best you can do is what everybody does with the MK7 and buy a big SD card. Or as someone suggested earlier, plug in your MDI cable into an Iphone/Ipod.

Yeah its looks like SD card slot is favourite for my music!

Is it standard size SD or micro?

Using an so card will also mean you'll get album artwork ( as long as it's less than 400x400)
