Armrest + Kufatec MDI

[tanderson001]

Hi, im going to get an RNS510 to replace my RCD300 on my 55 plate Golf, ive ordered a new gateway and just about to get the RNS510, but needed to bit of help with the armrest as I would like to connect my iPod to the RNS510 from the armrest.

I have an armrest installed at the moment, ive it just has an empty compartment in it, from reading about these forums I can see i will need one of these http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p1131_c321_VW-MEDIA-IN-MDI-Interface---Retrofit--.html, but could you tell me what other parts I would need to fit this into my armrest?

Im unsure whether i'd have to replace the whole armrest, or whether just a few parts from it?

Thanks

There is a much cheaper glovebox MDI kit available other wise you need to swap the armrest cover and connecting pipe for the rear vents.

Actually, thinking about it there will be no need to install it in armrest as i will be able to control everything from the RNS510  

Could you tell me what item that glovebox kit was please?

Thanks

I didn't know there was so much altering to do if you wanted the MDI in the armrest. With the glove box one does it go in the slot where the service book goes and do you keep the glove box light??

Also if you go down this route can you use anything in the armrest like the CD changer or does this make the armrest redundant??

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread

^^^ If you have the armrest with CD Changer slot already then you don't need to replace the cover and pipe.
