MDI in glove box

[DaveR77]

Just fitted an RNS510, I believe I have the centre console that doesn't accept the docks so i'm looking at a MDI kit for the glove box.

What parts do I need for that and is it just a loose wire?

VW do a retrofit kit for the glovebox with the following details

Module with extension cable and wiring loom: Part Number 5N0 057 342 (5N0057342)
 
USB cable: Part Number 000 051 446 B  (000051446B)
iPOD cable: Part Number 000 051 446 C (000051446C)
3.5mm cable: Part Number 000 051 446 D (000051446D)

its about £120 from VW direct normally - give your dealer a call and see what they can offer.

Cable is about £10-£15 on ebay

Interesting stuff, didn't know this was possible without the dock.

Is it just the same kit but without the dock? Does that kit work if the dock is just removed?

[Lyons]

I take it that mdi - iPod is the short cable? I can steal my mums!

[alexperkins]

yes thats the shorter cable

It is possible without the dock, but the retro kit comes with an MDI interface extension cable so itll reach the glovebox so you can plug the mdi>ipod lead into it

Any idea if the RCD310 uses the same MDI kit to the glove box? Same connection on the back as the RNS?

[alexperkins]

Yes its the same

[Lyons]

Honestly?? I'll be stealing more than the iPod lead from mums car then! Great news!

Do you have to ditch the cd changer if you have on in your armrest to fit this? Or is there another port on the back of the stereo? Think mine is a rcd310 too?

Thanks

You dont have to, but if you want to keep the changer, youd have to located the MDI in the glovebox
