RCD 510 > iPod

[Guy]

ooook

so we have a RCD510 in the 2008 Tiguan with a parrot kit but it seems iffy at best

when there is a connection it plays at a constantly high volume which we aren't able to adjust

so... i am thinking

rip out parrot kit as it seems defunct anyway

install some kind of MDI connection

questions:

1. what will we need to achieve this
b. will it allow FULL ipod/iphone control through the headunit

You could go the whole hog and get the VW touchscreen satnav which have SD card slots and throw in OEM bluetooth kit

Is it possible to iPod the rcd510 though?

We won't be upgrading to the rns anytime soon and the current one has sd card slot

You can get a kit but functionality is limited I believe    i.e scrolling through playlists is cumbersome. Im not sure if the latest MDI interface improves things

thank you dude.. thats the one i think

have been having a look on oemretrofits and it seems to be the recommended solution

the egay version is much cheaper though

now have to work out how to fit it!

Flathead screwdriver and a torx bit set should be all that you need
