As it saves starting a new topic, I'm looking to retrofit an armrest to my GTI.

Anyone point me in the right direction with regards to part numbers etc?

My understanding is that there are a few variations of what can go in the armrest, such as, an empty storage space, ipod connector, usb connector or cd changer?

Cheers
Nick

I'm kicking this back to life as it almost provides what I want but not quite. I recently had an RNS 510 fitted by Darren (Ace operator) and now want to get rid of the CD changer in the armrest and fit an alternative. I know the MDI is the popular choice but I'm not too keen on the re-cabling it involves and would be quite happy with just the USB dock as shown above . The CD changer cabling is already there so that's half the job done. I'm aware of its limitations but I just thought it would be better than fitting the blank bin thing and would possibly give me a covered phone charging and storage box. Prices on e bay are stupidly high at the moment so an alternative might be to get the blank bin and fit a chassis mounted USB terminal with a voltage dropper as required, or get the old Ipod cubby and convert it to USB.  Does anybody have anything to offer ( maybe an old USB box!!) or am I right off the map?
Regards,
John

I have read it a few times that it only works with touch screen?

I currently have an Ipod connection in the arm rest put would like to swop it for a USB

Can anyone help?

Thanks
