First drive of my spanking new GTI Mk6

[golfgti5]

Hi Golf5ti,

How come you are not pleased with your purchase from powerbulbs? IMHO, the new bulbs provide better vision at night. Its whiter than the originals and light up a bigger area as well. I would have loved if it had a little more blue tint but those bulbs are illegal in Europe... So the ones I got is the best I can do for it to be legal...

Maybe a better choice were these bulbs; http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=25

Hi

I'm a newbie here!

Question for howlingmoon:

Did you manage to buy any cable for connecting the iPhone to the RNS310? And if yes, can you post pictures and partnumber of such a cable?

I'm stuck with this, if I connect a pendrive to the USB I can play the music but my iPhone is totally ignored...

If you have the MDI interface unit i would expect the cables would be the same as other headunits used.
 
IPOD cable 000 051 446 C
USB cable 000 051 446 B
Mini USB cable 000 051 446 A
Jack plug cable 000 051 446 D

plus the ipod cable should be free from your dealer.  there was a change in policy not too long ago such that it went from being a 15 quid option (that most people haggled for free) to being part of standard spec.


tho... RNS310?  Mk6 GTI has RNS510 and RCD310, but not the RNS310?!

^ Thats what made me think he maybe overseas as theres other options over there.

May i ask do you know when it was £15 in the UK? From what i remember from reading the collection of my brouchers since the mk6 launch it has been standard but 'dealer parts department' supplied at PDI when the MDI was fitted. Most dealer forgot to supply it or made people pay for it.

This was back in Jul/ Aug 2009.  I believe (from others on this forum) that since then dealers have been told to give away the ipod cables for free.
