Anyone know if the mdi port can be swapped out for a USB one?

You could just plug an MDI>USB female lead into it as I have done. The USB lead came with my Scirocco, so VW do make them, if you can't find a cheap one on ebay. You could even look for an MDI to mini-USB for charging phones etc while on the move.

Hi
When i collect my GTD in September 2013 spoke to the manager at Lancaster VW concerning the media to usb lead he produced a lead from his office draw and said have that on us n/c-service with a smile.
Still loving my GTD no faults to date drives like a dream getting at least 100 smiles per hour

Ok so am collecting my new GTD later today and so far as far as I can tell, the only things that should come with the car are:

MDI to Lightning cable
MDI to USB cable
SD card (not the one for DNS; spare one for media ?)
GTD bezels for keys
Set of mats (carpet; rubber-mats are extra ?)
Some top-up oil (?)
First-aid kit/warning-triangle & reflective-vest (or is this an optional-extra ?)

Can anyone else think of anything I have forgotten ? I've made-up a comprehensive checklist for checking over the car as well, but handover time is just at time of closing and it's the salesman's day-off, so am sure he'll be keen to not hang around too long !

They won't give you an SD card, only one for the sat nav.  You won't get a lightning cable either (I assume you mean the lightning adapter for an iPhone?) - in fact you'll be lucky to get a lead at all for your iPhone - but you can pick up a little USB one that fits perfectly off Amazon for £3.99

Rubber mats will cost you extra - carpet mats are standard, getting some "free" top up oil will depend on the dealer as some do and some don't. Never got safety kit with any of 7 new. VWs (I think Audi give out warning triangle and high via jacket - they used to). Non-lightning apple lead given, no USB lead as standard (they are available, not standard equipment with the car).

Thats handy to know as pick mine up in November. With the discount I am getting dont really expect too many freebies. Have been told I will get a full tank a fuel, is that standard practice with new cars ?

Update....pleasantly surprised in all honesty, low-key affair in car-park which I said was fine with me.

Car came with two leads MDI to iPod and MDI to Lightning (iPhone 5), was told by one salesman it would only come with £20 of fuel, came with a full-tank though, tidy :-)

Correct about the safety-kit though (none as standard but you can buy them for around £25) and going back to pick-up free top-up oil over the weekend (service-department closed at time of handover).

New wheels going on tomorrow, loving it already !

When I had mine delivered I got the MDI to lightning and MDI to old Iphone cables and 3/4 fuel tank. Carpet mats as standard as well, but I've purchased a set of rubber mats which protect the interior better especially with the cr***y UK weather. No first aid or warning triangle either, I have purchased it afterwards. SD card comes only with the Navigation maps. I have purchased a 32 GB SD from Amazon for the Media.
