Although Im not getting RNS510 Ive got the same setup with the RCD300.  Want to swap the changer in the armrest for Ipod adapter.

Im guessing its just plug n play job?  The wiring for the changer just plugs into the ipod thingy bobby to replace it?

Something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK6-JETTA-PASSAT-INTERFACE-DOCK-ARMREST-USB-IPHONE-IPOD-LEADS-NEW-/280963733511 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK6-JETTA-PASSAT-INTERFACE-DOCK-ARMREST-USB-IPHONE-IPOD-LEADS-NEW-/280963733511)

Ok so if you are getting an rns510 you have a hard drive built in and can insert an SD card in the front - however I'd you would like the option to play from an iPhone/iPod then you want a media in (mdi ) unit as it is far better than the normal iPod dock - plenty of info on here about them, but very good units!

In a side note the mdi only works with the later units (RNS510/RCD510 etc) so anyone wanting iPod connection with the normal RCD300 + 500 then iPod dock version is the option  :happy2:

Many thanks, how much should I be paying for this?

One like this [ebay]320992740284[/ebay] I'm not saying it is the best one or the cheapest on eBay but gives you an idea I what you are looking for. You will need the wiring too which is also on eBay or EddieNL may have someone you are lucky

I think it is something to do when they were made. EddieNl can supply everything you need reading another thread - he is a legend so you would be in good hands buying from him  :happy2:
