Fitted rcd510...

[Airz182]

Just fitted my rcd510 stereo, bought mdi cable of ebay,
Realised the cable has no where to plug im on the headunit, after searching through previous posts,
Im i right in saying i need to install a wiring loom??
Or ive come across the plug on ebay 111259382497
All i want is my track names to be displayed on the screen and to be able to skip tracks via the stereo
Cheers

what have you bought?

[Airz182]

Got the rcd510 unit,
Upgraded my can gateway
And got a mdi lead of ebay, but when i went to fit it there was no where for the lead to plug into on back of my headunit!
So im presuming i need some sort of wiring harness for the mdi lead to go into?

post up some pictures of what you have

[Airz182]

Just have this lead:



But theres nothing for it to plug into on the back of the rcd510 headunit

[Eddie-NL]

what you have is an extension lead

to fit an MDI you need

MDI Loom > MDI Box (armrest type or Glovebox type) > Ipod / USB Lead

so to fit an mdi you need the MDI box and MDI loom

I have MDI looms & MDI Glovebox Boxes

Can pm us a price if u want mate, dont really want be spending alot of money, just for sake of the ipod! Only bought this lead because it was cheap and i thought it would work!   do i really need the glovebox/arm rest bit? Cheers

Go with the glove box one as above it fits perfectly and the light can be moved leaving a nice slot for the MDI socket
