New Edition 35 owner with a few questions, and hello..!

[platinum70]

Hi folks

Have recently swapped my much loved R36 for an Edition 35. Very different but so far so good. Just have a couple of questions...

Q. Is it easy to remove the rear GTi badge? I searched on here and dental floss seems to be the answer?

Q. Can you only connect an iphone 5 via Bluetooth for audio? The media lead (in the armrest) even with a lightning adaptor (with audio jack) doesn't work.

Thanks

Hi, and welcom picking my ed35 up Saturday and counting the seconds. I also have heard about the iPhone 5 only working with Bluetooth. I'm wondering if there's an apple product out there to link them?

Hi mate mate, welcome to the Edi club!

I use a lightning adaptor and its fine. Is it a genuine Apple one? Are you using iTunes or an app, I have the Soundcloud App and hat defaults to Bluetooth but iTunes plays through the MDi cable. Don't forget to post ya pics.

Hi and welcome.  Congrats on getting an ed35.

My iPhone 5 works for audio via the media lead absolutely fine (with genuine Apple lightening adapter).   I get the full menu of playlists/songs/artists/ song titles etc, just the same as with an iPod.  I don't use a third party app, just play it as normal through inbuilt music app.  Bluetooth works fine too.

I'm going to order one through apple me thinks.

Dental floss and tar remover will get the badge off but perosnally don't do it!

Pretty sure I had to set something onnthe rcd510'to stop defaulting to Bluetooth audio on my iPhone so it connected by midi

Not running a GTI badge on mine as had to be removed due to a scratch, never put new one on as I prefer just having a 35 on the right hand side

We need pics

Thanks for the help chaps and the welcome. Loving the car. Very different to the R36 but so far it is a joy to drive.  I will post some pic's as soon as I can. I have had the lower rear valance sprayed black after seeing Wigit's. Also got the GTI dead pedal metal cover which I have modified. Will take a picture and share it.

I have the Bluetooth set to auto connect. I bought a non apple lightning connector with built in audio jack. It charges but no sound or menu on the midi option.

@booth11 - I use the standard music app but nothing on 510 screen. I didn't think the lightning connector (Apple or not) carried audio?

@Wigit - is your car the one in the recent edition of Volkswagen driver?
