I need to find out about this MDI port? Could is be in the golvebox? Anywhere else as it wasn't in the armrest? :S
I've seen some kits on ebay for around £150+, seems to just adapt from the the quadlock connector?

Also guys, is the VW Bury (touch) bluetooth simply plug and play? Seen a couple of kits on ebay for silly money?

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  :wink:

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 :)

Easy to fit  :wink:  The ish was referring to the price  :smiley:

On golf mk6 uk cars the only place mdi goes from factory is in armrest, you can specify rear electric windows on the s trim as a factory option.........

Pm me reg number and will check it out Tomoz for ya

So it has the aux socket on the armrest facing toward the front of the car? Lift up the armrest you should find the mdi which you can get either USB or iPod specific leads for.

The AUX socket is inside the glove box, not outside?

The 3.5mm aux plug is just behind the handbrake and the mdi plug is inside the centre armrest.

That sounds like the after market option that you can spec on the Golf - not sure why yours hasn't got the "factory fitted one" which looks like this: -
