MDI Interface
rdfcpete:
I called up Parkway today Rob. They said it can't be purchased on its own and even if it could, I don't doubt for a minute it'd be more than £48 inc vat anyway.
I just want to get it in now so that price is okay I suppose.
Doesn't look like the lead is long enough though to get from my arm rest to the back of the RNS-510?
Rob GTI:
I suppose overall it dosn't work out to bad at £150 all in, still at least £50 quid cheaper than other ebay sales of the MDI. Let me know how you get on as I'm after one of these as well.
PS Talked about this with VRStu and he tells me you need to get it coded but after looking into this it looks quite simple.

^ Will do fella :happy2:
As you say £150 is a neat price really. I'm happy to put that much out for it. The only thing I'd mention is I didn't get an ipod lead with the MDI from the link I specified. Will call them and ask for it just for the principal even though I won't use it, as I know they're £20+ each.
I see, thanks for asking him. I've got VCDS so I'll read up on the coding once the lead has arrived.
Can stu comment on the length of the lead i.e. will I need an extension or not? It doesn't look more than a meter long stretched out :ashamed:
Rob GTI:
Theres a guide here to fit it:

PM Stu for details about the cable length as I know he's fitted one before.
cameluk:
The cable will be long enough to reach the armrest
It will work without coding but if you want you just need to enable device 2E in the can gateway, make sure you use the latest version of VCDS otherwise 2E won't be an option
