A Birth Announcement!!
« on: 24 April 2012, 15:04 »
Well, after an 11 week wait (feels like a lifetime!) I've just had the confirmation from the dealer that my ED35 has now been built and is on the way to Emden for shipping to the UK. I must admit, the thought that my car actually now exists is pretty darned good :laugh: :laugh:.

One question for you guys though - I have an Iphone which I want to connect through the MDI.  Is the cable for this supplied as standard with the car or will I have to buy one separately.

Thanks very much guys

Cable supplied with car (should also get a usb one too) only quirk I have on my 4s is when it's connected to the Bluetooth for hands free I have to play the music via Bluetooth (but oddly switch between albums etc using the midi) this of course may be due to be being a complete f&ck wit

You won't be disappointed with the car

Must admit I havent even plugged my iPhone via the MDI as I have an iPod too. However the Bluetooth audio works really well and I also use a Prat Nav app on my iPhone via the Bluetooth so its great that it just works really easily.

Great News!

Now all you have to do is wait another 2wks or so for it to leave Emden :sad:

And then shipping time 5-7days, then at uk docks for 3-4days and then once transporter picks it up it another few days before it reaches the dealer, then the last 5day(maybe less) before picking her up....Oh the joys! I remember it foundly :grin:

But she'll be worth it pal! :wink:

Sounds good....look forward to the photos

The iPhone works well through Bluetooth for short journeys as its easy to jump in the car and play a tune without plugging it in.  On longer journeys I use the Midi interface and plug it in with the cable supplied.  This has two advantages, you can use the switches on the steering wheel to change track and it charges the phone.  The passenger can also choose a track using the controls.....

So get you newcar playlist sorted for when it arrives!

See I just whack an external drive or memory stick into the USB cable, can't be bothered plugging things in and out!! (ooh err!)

BTW it's customary to buy all Mk6 forum frequenters a beer, just like if you were down the pub when you hear of your new baby's arrival into this world!

Mines a Guinness! Thanks

I do the same. I've got a little USB stick http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/22857469/SanDisk-Cruzer-Fit-16GB-USB-Flash-Drive-including-Secure-Access/Product.html absolutely tiny, works well and not a bad price at all
