Title: Media In MDI Install
Post by: NickP on January 10, 2009, 12:10:05 pm
Today I manage to finish off my install -
I'd already installed the new wiring harness last weekend, but need to run a software update on the MFD3 to get things working properly :)

Took around 50 mins

Now my ipod appears on the MFD3

Fully browsable

Software upgrade gives the unit some nice new touches too - easily able to check hard disk space on the unit etc :)

Now I just need to get my upgraded V3 map with speed cameras loaded on and jobs a good 'un ;)

It's 1022 (which is 1020 for VW) so I guess thats what your already running?

Nice one Nick, Glad you got it sorted  :happy2:

How are you finding the MDI in terms of speed of access to the menu's?

Seems fine - there's an initial delay if the ipod has been disconnected, but other than that all seems well :)

You can go with Skoda bluetooth from vRStu and still have MDI? Skoda bluetooth integrates with RNS-510 and MFD also, but doesn't have the boost/oil pressure/etc function on MFD.
