MDI retrotfit questions

(1/5) > >>

Rob GTI:
I've got a A rev RNS510 with updated firmware to B. Can I install the MDI and get it operating correctly (with coding), I see a lot of conflicting info saying that you can't run MDI on an A model even with upgraded FW!

Whats a good price to get one for (the glovebox type)? I see a lot on the bay for £140ish but without the ipod lead which is roughly another £20.

Whats the p/n and RRP for the kit, maybe I could get one from VW with 10% off?

Cheers.

5N0057342 price is around £140 plus VAT from the dealer but requires a RNS B or higher, some sites are saying a firmware upgrade for a A will resolve the issue

VW are saying not compatible with the following;
1T0057680
1T0057680A
7L6057690
7L6057690A



The ipod/usb/mini usb leads are all extras

There is no coding unless you want to add 2E to the can gateway list for completeness

There is also 5N0057342A (£170 plus VAT) which appears to fit in the glovebox  with the included storage shelf but looks like the armrest version (complete with looms but no ipod/usb lead)

However it also says not compatible with

1T0057680
1T0057680A
7L6057690
7L6057690A

Rob GTI:
I prefer the look of the non-shelf MDI as it takes up less space. So the 6 million dollar question is has anyone installed MDI into a FW updated A revision 510?

Also is the armest version supposed to have the same compatibility issues with the A version of the 510?

cameluk:
I know a member over at vwnavi who has fitted the armrest version to his A upgraded to firmware 1100 without issues, he didn't fit the unit to his armrest but into the cubby hole under the steering wheel with a hdd

Don't think the armrest version comes with the cable between the MDI and the RNS, Kufatec sell the cable loom

Rob GTI:
Well thats good to know at least I can resort to that option if all else fails. Still I would like to to have the glove box version to save space.

Surely though the wiring must be the same on the armrest and glovebox versions with the only differences being the mounting point?
