MFD2 and ipod/mdi?
« on: November 05, 2014, 11:05:54 am »
So i've just fitted an MFD2 to the golf. Previously i was running an RCD510 with mdi where the cd changer used to be. Question is, is it possiblt to use the mdi with mfd2 or do i need to switch back to the cd changer?

Yea looks like it. Might just sell them both and get an RNS510  :laugh:

Need to repair the cd changer on the RCD510 first though. Needs a new mechanism but can't find one anywhere!
