Definately South African spec doesnt come with MDI then.

Just visited UK's configurator, when you add the RCD510 in place of the RCD310, it says the MDI will be removed?
So does this mean you cant use a RCD510 with MDI? can anyone confirm please

Dealer supplied accessories

its from the price list for the mk6 golf listed under dealer supplied accessories. Not sure exactly what you will need with it.

Media- in-interface (plays Ipod,MP3,USB) part number 5N0 057 342   £150.20 in the UK including taxes.

They also list the cables seperate at £31.50 each

Just checked on the configurator, the RCD510 with Dynaudio says it only includes aux-in:

"RCD 510 touch screen radio system with 'Dynaudio' soundpack, including dash-mounted 6 CD autochanger, 6 1/2" colour touch-screen, SD card reader, MO3 and WMA data files compatibility and Aux-in socket for connection to external audio source (i.e. iPod or MP3 player)."

The same with the RNS 510

"DVD touch-screen navigation/radio system With 6 1/2" colour touch-screen - DVD based planning and route guidance with live traffic updates, multifunction computer (highline), 30 GB hard drive, SD card reader, MO3, WMA and DVD video data files compatibility and Aux-in socket for connection to external audio source (i.e. iPod or MP3 player) and 6CD autochanger in lieu of MDI"

Does anyone have a golf 6 gti with the RCD510 or RNS510 with MDI, working 100%? wonder why they would take it out when upgrading from a RCD310 to 510.. did it come standard? did you upgrade?  :huh:
