Title: MFD2 and ipod/mdi?
Post by: mk4gti-t on November 05, 2014, 11:05:54 am
So i've just fitted an MFD2 to the golf. Previously i was running an RCD510 with mdi where the cd changer used to be. Question is, is it possiblt to use the mdi with mfd2 or do i need to switch back to the cd changer?

no mate

they are very basic. your old head unit was much better for this type of thing

Yea looks like it. Might just sell them both and get an RNS510  :laugh:

Need to repair the cd changer on the RCD510 first though. Needs a new mechanism but can't find one anywhere!
