Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • MDI and BlueTooth functnality

    Hi,

    I'm newly registered, but have followed threads on this site for some time. I am a prospective VS Tiguan buyer - and I was hoping to learn from existing owners via this forum. Dealers find it hard to answer some of the questions below - and don't normally have a unit available for me to test. Whish is why I'm turning to the 'end-users'.

    If I buy - I will include the RNS510 SATNAV. I am also interested in the MDI option, and also the BlueTooth module. Assuming I get the MDI option

    (a) If I do not use an iPhone, but instead a regular (modern) phone like an Android with a min-usb out of it - what can I expect from the MDI interface to provide:
    I'm assuming I can stream music that is stored on my phone only if I select the tracks on the phone and press play on the device - and not by selecting the tracks on the
    RNS510 ?

    (b) What if I a using an iPhone, does the RNS510 show me album and track selection on the SATNAV screen for selection and play ?

    Also - (c) Is an iPhone CHARGING when plugged into the MDI outlet ?

    Making phone calls in the car:

    (d) Is my assumption correct when I say this has nothing to do with the MDI interface, but only comes into play when I have a blueTooth module added into the car, and, a BlueTooth paired mobile phone ?

    (e) If I have the bluetooth module and a paired phone, can I use voice activation to recall a contact that is in my phone for dialing ?


    (f) Finally - if I do not intend to ever own a dedicated MP3 player, but instead, would only carry music around with me on my bluetooth enabled phones (iphone or other) - would the MDI interface be redundant, and BlueTooth Audio take it's place ?

    Sorry for so many questions - ,...
Working...
