MDI Cable Pinching
« on: 22 October 2012, 14:16 »
Hi All,

This is my first post as I have recently become the new owner of a Mark VI GTI 61 plate, having upgraded from a 1.2 Clio, so you can imagine how much I am loving the car so far!

However, I have one small problem that is grating on me...I have the MDI built into the arm rest, but whenever I plug in my iPhone or iPod and put it in the "cubby hole" I have to bend the cable for it to fit. It seems that by doing this it is causing either no connection or limited connection (for about 5 seconds) before cutting out.

I thought about simply getting a new cable but I fear it wont be long before I get a recurring problem. Unfortunately the cable isnt long enough to simply poke the cable out of the arm rest, attach the ipod and leave it in the drinks holder. Am I alone in experiencing this issue and is anybody aware of a way around it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers.
