As long as its all wired properly, its just a case of going into CD and choosing the changer disc 1-6 then it should work

There may be a coding change required in VCDS. After I fitted an MFD3, I needed to recode to get the iPod lead recognised again.

MFD2 shouldn't need a VCDS change as its detected as a CD changer

The same should happen - you should get a VW logo on the iPod screen

when listing to cds im hearing a crackling noise in the background.
googling people are saying this is due to the earth wiring and then theyd include a link on what to do. the links are outdated. does anyone know what your meant to do to get rid of it
