Post by: Johnny_tro on June 23, 2011, 11:57:16 pm

when I pluf my iphone (lastest one) into the mdi plug it comes up with an unsupported message.........on playback throught the rns I get poor sound quality (crackling)

MDI < all correct and the music through the usb drive works fine.

I sometimes get that but it is just to tell you that any phone calls/ phone searching for signal could give you that familiar signal sound.

Generally though the playback through the MDI has been spot on. Not had any crackling etc.

kinda thought that.....

my message comes up and says.....something like not compatable.......sound may not be at its best quality (summary)

but still no joy :(

my ipod doesn't seem to work all the time either.

Do you think its just the latest ones that play up? older one will be fine?

I have a factory AMI (MDI) which also presents the same message when plugging in, it's just an accessory warning and I doubt linked to your dodgy sound.

my MDI kit has the VW sticker(s) on, how can I ensure what I have is 100% oem?

It might just be something as simple as a dodgy cable connecting to the phone and not the MDI itself.

Where are you located? Do you know anyone nearby who has a cable you can try?

How would you check which firmware you already have? I'm having the same issue as you Johnny :confused:

You would need to scan the MDI adapter using VCDS and look at its details
