Test drove a GTi but what about the iPod / Bluetooth

[RIS00]

There is a new MDI interface for the stereo, this allows you to use a usb memory stick or a ipod and gives you full control over them that is far better then the standard units they have now. I haven't seen the interface on the RCD500 but only on the RNS510 however so can't go into specifics.

The standard GTI has a 3.5mm jack in the console between the seats.

The bluetooth from the dealer is crap, it's an after market parrot system sold at a premium, save your money and buy the genuine bluetooth from europe, it's cheaper and far better integration.

There is information on all of these here and at the golfmkv forums.

where can i get this european/genuine bluetooth kit from?

It may be a 3dr v. 5dr thing as I noticed RIS00 has a 3dr whereas Smuts is a 5dr.

Mine is a Mar 08 build 3dr and has the aux input. A very easy way to play your ipod with good sound quality. You only thing is you don't want to be spending too much time with your head down flicking through songs!!
