Just fitted my rcd510 stereo, bought mdi cable of ebay,
Realised the cable has no where to plug im on the headunit, after searching through previous posts,
Im i right in saying i need to install a wiring loom??
Or ive come across the plug on ebay 111259382497
All i want is my track names to be displayed on the screen and to be able to skip tracks via the stereo
Cheers

Still not solved this
-
what have you bought?
-
Got the rcd510 unit,
Upgraded my can gateway
And got a mdi lead of ebay, but when i went to fit it there was no where for the lead to plug into on back of my headunit!
So im presuming i need some sort of wiring harness for the mdi lead to go into?

post up some pictures of what you have

But theres nothing for it to plug into on the back of the rcd510 headunit

what you have is an extension lead
to fit an MDI you need
MDI Loom > MDI Box (armrest type or Glovebox type) > Ipod / USB Lead
so to fit an mdi you need the MDI box and MDI loom
I have MDI looms & MDI Glovebox Boxes

Can pm us a price if u want mate, dont really want be spending alot of money, just for sake of the ipod! Only bought this lead because it was cheap and i thought it would work! do i really need the glovebox/arm rest bit? Cheers

Go with the glove box one as above it fits perfectly and the light can be moved leaving a nice slot for the MDI socket
