Advanced Tele Prep means no MDI Port

[Happy Hippo]

Hi folks,

I wouldnt worry to much about not having MDI as you can only use either the Advanced Phone Kit or MDI but not both at the same time. 
Just push for some compensation for not having the MDI fitted as per all the marketing materials and enjoy the cars.
I ended up loading a 32GB SD card up eventhough I have a MDI fitted 

Only if you choose to keep your music on your phone. I prefer to use an ipod for my music and a good Android phone with the phone kit.

After sensible discussion I have reached a very satisfactory conclusion to my situation here. Dealer and customer services alike have done a good job.

Hi,

Do you know if my week 48 car with advanced phone connection will have an MDI?

Thanks

Hi Ian, yes your car should have MDI with Adv Phone Kit... mine is BW46 and had it.
Hopefully yours will also come with the iPhone5 MDI cable....

Not sure if you would like to share how you got on ? I'm waiting for customer services to get back to me about this and would be interested to know what their thinking was on this.

( did try a PM but I think because you've got less than 10 posts I could not send one, happy to discuss by email if you prefer)

If you'd rather not discuss further I understand but thought I'd ask.

If you scroll back I am sure somebody got £250 refund as a goodwill from their dealership for the missing MDI.

That was me... Didn't even complain, just asked the question of my dealer... they answered that there will be no MDI with Advanced Telephone Prep and an offer of £250 in compensation (from the goodwill catalogue)...

Now wouldn't it be ironic if my BW45 car arrives tomorrow with MDI and the telephone prep?

I understand only 400 cars (of which mine one) affected by lack of MDI port. Being recognised as manufacturing error. VW are being very pragmatic about resolution.

You will probably get the MDI, the factory was quick to act once Volkswagen UK pulled finger out. So you might be £250 better off and have MDI too.
To be honest its pointless as you can't use both anyway. 
My BW46 car has both Adv Phone Kit and MDI
