How does that work with the coding?
I've just read another post about new owners not given a code for their stereo and the reply stating

"you don't need it as it uses something called "comfort coding" which recognises the immobiliser in the car which authorises the radio to start. If you disconnect the battery etc this coding is not lost"

How would that work in a new car?

You get a code with the radio, if you change it into a different car you will need to input that code at least the first time you switch on after you have installed it.  After that I'm not sure if the car permanantly recognises that unit or not.  With the factory fit one it does permanantly remember that particular unit so no need for the code at all except if you move it to a different car.

Right that makes sense, however a few folk have commented they didn't get a code with their MK VI's obviously as the immobiliser part recognised it being original. I take it they just request a code from the dealer.

you should have a code in the handbook

I've not got mine yet  I was just going on some other folks input from another forum.

Someone has told me that in the radio instruction manual it says the code can only be requested on line on the VW system by your dealer!!

Does anyone know if the RCD 510 displays the track/album/artist info from a connected iPod??

I know the RCD310 does as I tried it the dealers, the RCD 510 in a VW EOS I tried does not (Although it will display track/album/artist if using mp3 on the SD card or CD also CDs with text). Just wondering if the interface has been upgraded??
