RCD510 jumping?

Also ment to say that USB sticks don't need charging.....

The car charges the iPod while it's plugged in.

Ah did I mention they are cheap..

Well, my car's iPod was lying round my desk being useless, because its screen was kaput.  (I'd put it through the washing machine.)  I wasn't using it at all, as I have an 8Gb memory stick already.

So you could say it was free.  (Look on eBay for an iPod with a dud screen - probably very cheap.  Works perfectly once the car's screen takes over the display.)

Volume for volume, I suspect there's not much in it.  I refuse to immerse an iPod in water again just to check it.

Thought I'd do a bit of testing before I go to the dealers, I have a RCD 310 with 4G nano but it has the same issue.

I noticed my iTunes collection was a mix of mp3 (various rates) and AAC format.

I have converted my whole iTunes library to AAC 256 and transferred to my ipod - the problem seems to have all but disappeared.

Just  done a test with about 15 songs on random play, seems OK. I may have heard one track stutter but I'm not sure

No idea why, just thought I'd share this to see if anyone might know the reasons why. Maybe someone else could do a quick test to prove or disprove this?

Edit: I meant AAC 128 not AAC 256.
Will monitor this week and let you all know of any problems.

Thought that might have solved the problem, but no!!

I converted about a dozen tracks to AAC and put them all in the same playlist, it was exactly the same as before, it would play for a second and then mute momentarily!!!

I'm not having much luck with the sounds just now. My kids are getting the new ipods for Xmas so I'll try them out but in the meantime I might email VW about that and the SD card problems.

Test drove a MK6 Golf yesterday which I decided not to buy (sticking to my MK3 VR6 for many many reasons!). My iPod plays totally fine on an iPod docking station (not made by apple) and also on the radio in my MK3 Golf - but on the MK6 I test drove it skipped at the start of most tracks - very annoying!!

Anyone else who had issues with this, any further forward in a fix?

It was mentioned in another forum that the muting happens when the display is changing name from one track to another.

This got me thinking about my sons ipod nano which sometimes doesn't update the display, I'm sure it also doesn't mute the start of the next track when this happens. Hopefully I will check this out tomorrow.

My fix was to change to a Sony Walkman - works perfectly, I also tried a usb stick but this wasn't always recognised (probably due to lack of battery).
After spending ages changing file types, settings and compression rates on the iPod I gave up. Dealer couldn't find a fault.

Thanks. 
I've been using a hard drive with no problems but you can't really beat the way the ipod organises the files.

It sounds like the RCD510 is in need of a firmware update. By the way, mine does this too.

  I can certainily relate to what your saying! I recently picked up my new mk6 GTI I was over the moon to find out it can with media input instead on that lesser aux input only. However I have started to have re occuring problems either the previous track title stays on when the next track is running or if I switch from radio mode to media it simply will not allow me (its says something like 'initializing') them after swiching backwards and forwards between radio and media the display comes up with 'no media/device found. I have taken the car back to the dealership that I bought it from but as always with intermitant faults, it doesn't do it when their watching!!!!!!!!!!

to say its becoming frustrating is only ticking me off all the more, Can anyone please help or else I will have to revert to carrying hundreds of CD's in the car which defeats having the media input.

thanks for any help, Damn Ipod cr*p
