I bought the car (approved used) a couple of weeks ago but didn't realize till I got it home that the MDI wasn't working.
The RCD 510 could not 'see' a USB stick connect via supplied adapter, in fact there wasn't even a soft button on the screen for MEDIA or BT AUDIO.
The dealership were not quite sure how they fixed it, but after clearing down several fault codes stored hey-presto!
However, when I connect my phone using a USB lead to the adapter to charge it, there is no output power - not sure if there is supposed to be from my car (59 plate) but it charges just fine in my wife's Golf (62 plate).
