The only option you have to get the IPOD track titles, playlist titles and all playlists listed is to go for the RNS510 or an aftermarket set-up.
I had the IPOD link in the centre console and it fails on the following counts
1. It can only play 5 playlists from the IPOD and you don't get title of the playlists on the head unit...just numbers.
2. Once you are playing a playlist it will only number the tracks 1 to 99 with no titles for the tracks and when you go past track 99 it shows track 01 again, which is actually track 101,201,301 etc
3.Using the head unit you only have control over the two functions above, you cannot select favourites etc.
VW has addressed this with the RNS510, but for the rest of you who have anything else less than this or an aftermarket head-unit, you will be disappointed!
