I have a Jetta 2008, with a RCD-510 and I just bought a MDI to put in the center console. I've heard that I have to change on the original connectors. Unfortunately in Brazil this accessory is not available and there's no specialized people to do this. Thank you very much! Flavio. Dear friends,

Any of you know where can I find instructions to install this MDI?

I have a Jetta 2008, with a RCD-510 and I just bought a MDI to put in the center console.
I’ve heard that I have to change on the original connectors.

Unfortunately in Brazil this accessory is not available and there’s no specialized people to do this.

Thank you very much!

Flavio.

It's the CD changer housing type, and I'm trying to remove it from the housing. In the text above, it says "To remove the CD Changer housing to make the MDI easier to mount (Glovebox for example) remove the two T20 screws and then press down on the two clips on the unit to release it." I got the screws out, but I'm not sure what they mean by two clips. The MDI is still solidly in there and won't budge a millimeter, and I don't see any clip. What's next?

Min/Max Voltage and max current are specified in the standard. Hence if VW is providing a true USB standard interface it will charge the BB. It will not charge the BB at the same rate as a BB USB charger. USB is a standardized interface. Min/Max Voltage and max current are specified in the standard.

Unplug and replug....it may connect okay later. Issue is the automatic pausing of the song after a couple of days with the IPOD plugged into the MDI. This sudden loss of the music would be shown on the RCD510 as the music counter is "frozen". It can only be reset by manually pausing the song and then pressing play again. The dealer changed a new MDI controller, connecting cable and IPOD cable but the issue comes back every other few days. Down right frustrating....

Has anyone experienced this problem with an iPod Classic 160Gb connected to the RCD310 via the VW MDI cable:- The systems works, I can select tracks via the artist/playlist folder structure, all sounds great. But when playing a playlist or whole album, the first half-second of most tracks tend to judder. This is particularly annoying when playing an album with continous music where tracks segue. One way round would be to connect via 3.5mm aux in instead, but then I lose the control of the ipod and track display etc. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
