I believe the media lead provides better playback and its only the red lead that gives you album art.

The steering wheel control is very limited - just next/prev track and volume. Probably the most disappointing thing about the GTI. I was expecting to be able to navigate the iPhone fully from the steering wheel as I have in all cars I've had over the last 5+ years

The red lead??? Is this the colour you get from VW or is this another one I have to purchase?

Even using the MDI interface, or over B/Tooth?

I only got my GTI yesterday so haven't had a good play yet, but I'd be annoyed if I didn't get some control using the MDI.
