Fitted MDI today

After buying the Media Device Interface MDI several months ago, I finally got around to fitting it to my RNS 510.
I had a bit of help off my friend who is a VW Master Tech.
It has been installed so that my Ipod is hidden away in the glovebox.
I am pleased that my 6 disc changer in the armrest also still works. Not that I need it now with the amount of tunes on my Ipod.
I got the MDI and Ipod cable for just over £100 (discount through my mate).
I am very happy now with the artists/ track names showing on the RNS screen and Highline screen.

Oli:
Looks great, I am just aboutvto invest in the 510, Bluetooth kit and the mdi cable - do you have the part number for the cable you installed, and any pictures of it fitted.

Many thanks

Hi Oli,
The Media Device Interface is a module that gives you full control over your Ipod/ MP3 player. You can either buy an Ipod cable or USB cable to connect to the MDI.
The MDI unit is hidden behind the head unit or centre console.
I think the RRP for the MDI from a dealer is around £140 and the cable is about £20. As I said I had both for just over £100 through my mate.
I have got the part numbers for you. I will try to find them.

Chris - If I only want USB functionality, do I still need the full MDI unit with all the ipod trimmings? I won't use these so want to get away with the minimum  :wink:

^^^ Pete still need to buy the MDI box and the USB cable  :happy2:
