Retro fit MDI?

[DRC]

As per the title, I pick up my golf next week but it only has AUX in, surely the MDI connection must just be a loom that plugs into the quadlock connector instead of the AUX? Has anyone tried this, and maybe someone could get parts and prices for me, maybe a kind person that works for VW :p hehe.

I've seen a few "kits" for sale on ebay. I think they are a cable and a control box which can be fed through to the glovebox. A mate with a MK5 GTI has been looking at them.

Didnt the SE come with MDI then?

It can be retro-fitted in the centre arm rest.
I read about this previously although remember its not cheap!

Kufatec do a retro-fit kit, I think.

No, SE didn't come with it? Although I thought it did on Parker's spec list? :S

Yes ish, I can get them new from VW for around £140 if my memory serves me correctly.

Why not do a list of the mods you'd like and let's see what I can help you fit - I'll devote a day to your motor if you want

If it is an se then it must have mdi connectivity they have all done from launch it's only s that doesn't get it as standard.

Hmmm, Evo this is strange, was the socket located anywhere else other then the arm rest? It's definitely the SE as it has rear electric windows etc? Could it be in the glovebox as the only socket in the armrest was the AUX and the MDI port seemed to have a blank plate over it?

You're a gent good sir The kits on ebay are like £50 with no reserve, when you say yes-ish, is there any coding required? My mum has the kit in her new GTI, if she doesn't want it, could I use that one? only difference is she had the RCD510
