Advice needed.
« on: October 18, 2014, 01:40:37 pm »
Hello, my Dad has an 07 1.6 Golf and has the boring RCD300 with the armrest ipod dock, is there anyway of swapping the ipod dock out for a MDI that fits and adding a RNS315 or RCD510?

RNS510 is easy enough to add, as is an MDI. Not particularly cheap mind you as it'll cost you up to £500 or so for the parts. RNS315 isn't fully functional with the Mk5 Golf as it's designed for the newer range and communicates in a different way with the dash display and steering wheel controls (if fitted).

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

Will I need to change the loom in the armrest or will the MDI loom be the same as the iPod loom?

New loom needed. Or you could fit a glove box version MDI kit?
