The 6CD takes the place of the MDI in the armrest. You only lose the MDI if you have the CD changer

Does anyone have a golf 6 gti with the RCD510 with MDI, working 100%?
wonder why they would take it out when upgrading from a RCD310 to 510.. did it come standard?

Yes, yes.
As i said earlier its a mistake on the configurator.

i thought the 6CD was built in into the RCD10 unit.  I have the RCD510 and there's no separate CD changer.  Prob is that I don't play CDs!  a few gig SD card is all I need!!

Maybe I've misread you but the 6CD doesn't take the place of the MDI. The 6 CD player is part of the RCD510 which you can have with the MDI.

^ The 6 disc CD autochanger when added to the satnav unit is fitted in the centre armrest in place of were the MDI is fitted.

Ah right that makes sense. 
Not sure why anyone would want to add a 6 CD player as an extra though when there are loads of other options to play music.
Especially when there is a big hard drive to add your music.

i suppose it's a little like the argument between manual and DSG  some people may not have a computer for iPod or MP3s and are more 'old-skool' and prefer just buying a CD from a shop and then they can play it straight away in the car.

Yeah that's true.
We just seem spoiled for a music source
CD
Ipod
SD card
USB drive
Streaming from mobile if you have the telephone facility installed.

Some audiophiles hate compressed music with a passion even when played through such a crap stereo as the golf has. As they can hear it.
I refuse to play anything thats not a lossless type format because of this. Even then you can hear a slight difference but i can put up with that for the conveniance.

Maybe also the cd changer maybe MP3 compatiable so you could burn quite a few discs rather than have to shell out for an ipod or fiddle with memory sticks that you may not be able to play at home.

OK, i will have to get the MDI then, my armrest doesnt have a 6cd changer its empty and has an AUX IN port oposite where the MDI would be..
