Um... everyone doesn't need it. Some people need a USB cable, some a blackberry cable, some an iPhone cable. Given that Android is now outselling the iPhone around the world, it's a little bit arrogant to make comments such as the above...

Well, everyone needs one type of cable or another, otherwise MDI is useless.
This is an example of optioning that doesn't make sense to the buyer's experience. When you tick the MDI option, they should include one type of cable you can pick. Or alternatively, give you all the variants, afterall cables are dirt cheap when bundled together at manufacturing end.2011 Mk6 GTI | CW | DSG | Bi-Xenon | GIAC | APR TBE | THS FMIC | ModshackComment

My ipod cable was thrown in for free. From the comment made by the dealer, it sounded like they just order the cable as well when the MDI is optioned.Originally posted by yyn View PostGTI | Carbon | Man | 5 door | Leather | 18" Detroit | Bluetooth | MDI | Bi-XenonComment

no you were right the first time, its a load crap. Everything else in the world has a standard USB interface, then you could use your existing cables that come with your device.Originally posted by TeamCrash View Post
Its only companies like Sony that decide to go against the norm so that they can charge to $90 for a cable that costs you about $2 with free postage on ebay.....Comment

Yeah - I was given both the USB and the iPhone cable... just depends on the dealer and the customer.
In Australia, by default, it comes with the USB cable as a factory option. If you have the dealer fitted MDI, it comes with neither. However, I know that several dealers are happy to take back the USB cable (unopened) and swap for an iPhone cable, but it's purely up to the dealers.
So yeah, being nice always helps

So all of the people that either bought or received a free iPod cable - do you get the odd skip at the beginning of songs? Anyone found a way to fix it?
I've just downloaded the latest MDI software and might try and load this to see if it helps.MY11.5 Golf R - Candy White 5 door - still giggling like a child when I drive it!Comment

I use my MDI and iPod+cable every time I drive my car. I have the latest MDI firmware that I'm aware of, and mine does skip the first second or so of songs from time to time (not always, but often).Originally posted by orkers View Post2008 MkV Volkswagen Golf R32 DSG

first mod!! lol
my dealer gave me both also, but with the ipod cable it was throwing back an error when plugged into my iphone 4, and it wasn't a convenient spot for a phone ( I would most likely forget it in the car )
8gb USB stick, formated to fat32 - copied some test music across, all works fine - and because its a USB stick it fits down that 'abyss' and I will never see it again.. until I want to put some new music on anyway
Im sure everyone knows about it, but sometimes its not worth the hassle of stuffing around with the phone when you can just dump all the files on a USB and off you goLast edited by Vaku; 03-03-2011, 02:40 PM.
