RNS-510 MDI Inputs
Oli:
I have the fiscon Bluetooth, VAG MDI and Rns510, and it works great v
JPC:
Oh awesome. Right guys, if I had the iPod in for the rcd 300, what bits of the Mdi kit would I need? Also, will it charge an iPhone 3gs?
Oli:
The MDI and IPOD cable is what you'd need. And yes it charges the IPhone, but always comes up with the 'not compatible' message, and do you want to put it in airplane mode, but works absolutely fine. Sometimes when you plug it in, it pauses every 3 seconds or so, but just unplugging in and plugging it back in sorts that. I have my cable coming out of my ashtray area in front of the gear lever, just looking for an IPOD lead extension cable, as the VW one is quite short.
Really pleased with it and the sound is great through the standard speakers :happy2:
JPC:
Thanks for that Oli. Any ideas of costs of what I'd need? I've see. Dsg wagen sell a kit on eBay for 150. That goes in the glovebox but I want mine in the armrest where my dock already is. So do I just need the loom from the back of the rns and an iPod cable?

JPC, it doesnt have to go in the glovebox. You can have it wherever you like. So just route the cable through to the armrest with an extra extension cable that VW supply (pm me and I'll find you the part number).
The armrest aka older MDI variant is only really for those people who have/had the VW CD changer built in.
