Any tips to removing/fitting MDI to armrest?
big al:
Pretty sure mine is the OEM one, the wire from the RNS to the MDI unit is about 20 cm, then the wire coming out to the ipod is only about 8cm, so not much space to spare, and seems that it would be botched trying to make it fit.
Thanks

Kufatec lead all day long mate imo for the price it is. Gives you piece of mind and you know you've got a lead that a good few of us on here have tried and tested. I've no experience with the OEM one, sounds like it's fairly useless?

Nice one mate,
So does this go in place of the MDI unit? IE just plug it into the Back of the RNS unit? Also, do you get full ipod functions on the screen?
rdfcpete:
That's simply the harness to connect from the back of the RNS-510 (its like a go between on the OE RNS-510 harness) then goes to the MDI interface 'pod' or drawer or whatever you wanna call it, connecting to it underneath as it sits in the arm rest, as obviously the MDI aux type port faces the chassis/bottom of the car.
No experience with the ipod side of it unfortunately as I only use USB flash sticks and SD cards with mine.
HTHs anyway mate.

You can browse artists,albums & playlists on the RNS screen, just like browsing through the SD card or hard disk
USB memory sticks, USB HDDs and Ipods/iPhones all act the same, ID3 tags are shown on both the RNS and the highline if fitted
