Does anyone know how to connect an iPhone 5 to the mdi in a mk6? Plugged in through the USB and it just says device not supported  :confused:

£30 for a Lightning adapter when they came out, probably the same now.

Don't buy a clone, they just allow charging and not audio/video transfer  :happy2:
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Yup still £30 :happy2:

I bought the cable adaptor as the block one was a bit cumbersome and I had to take the phone out of its case to plug it in.

With this connector can you use the steering wheels controls etc?
