MDI Armrest
Stoich_87:
Presume this has been asked many times, but i'll ask anyway
Got all the bits to fit RCD510 and MDI, but i've just got a standard storage armrest, doesn't have the slot for fitting the MDI kit (which i've already purchased) Can the outer skin just be replaced? Or do I need to buy a full armrest replacement?
Any help appreciated.

Not sure what a standard storage armrest is like I've always seen one with a changer or a dock..
But If it's just a storage dock I would have thought the storage section pops out and your MDI can fit in there. Not sure if you will need any additional wiring? Perhaps someone more techy than myself can confirm lol
tlnds:
If you want the MDI you would need to replace the outer armrest casing with an MDI version rather than storage version like you have. Its really easy to change the outer case but if there is no changer or MDI there currently I think you would need the wiring loom to run up under the centre console.

Is the wiring for the MDI and changer the same?

Not sure, they might be different but I cannot confirm this as I have neither, just the cubby type. Hopefully someone else could confirm.
