MDI niggles

[xblode]

I'll be back in my car in a few hours, I'll note down where the settings are

[DracZ]

Did you read the manual ?

Thanks for pointing us in the right direction

The distortion was cured by lowering the AUX / MDI input from 2 -> 1, playing with the volume on the ipod / iphone didn't really help much.

Ok, here goes!

1. Press SETUP.
2. On the touchscreen, press MEDIA.
3. On the left, you'll see AUX Input Level. Pressing the text next to it will reveal 3 options;

Level 1 (1.5v)
Level 2 (0.7v)
Level 3 (0.3v)

With my iPhone, Level 1 gives the best quality as coreying has explained in an earlier post

Peace Out!

Thanks for that!

i found that too in the manual and when set to lvl 2 all the distortion is gone! yay! now to research that little rattle i hear then head over to volkspower for some APR and then my golf will be perfect.

[Corey_R]

get Volkspower to help you locate the rattle... kill two birds with one stone

[ripblade]

alas, from what I read the rattle is a known problem which VW ain't going to do anything about it!

Who ever finds a way to fix this (independent) will be getting quite a lot of business.

Now to email Volkspower.

My MDI was fine for 3 months, then started only playing my ipod via RHS speakers, changed to my ipod touch was fine, now doesn't recognise any of them!!!
WHat a waste of money not only for the MDI plus the additional cost of the IPOD lead! Going to phone a dealer next week!

[Corey_R]

It's a waste of money cause you're the first person ever to report that issue? I'm not sure I follow your logic there
I'd say it's possibly that just the Ipod cable has a break in it etc. But let us know how it goes after you've spoken to your dealer

[Stoney!]

Have my MDI hooked up to an 8GB thumb drive, works a treat. No problems what so ever apart from being slow too boot sometimes, people just need to use something aside from their despicable apple products.

Stoney!

Similar issues but my ipod just wasnt be detected as a media input, then I tried my usb...that worked for a couple weeks, now neither work.

My car goes in next Tues to get this looked at and also my drivers side mirror fixed.

Hey Guys,

quick question regarding the MDI. So dealer fitted MDI is int he glovebox and the factory fitted is in the console yeah?

So at the time of ordering the GTI do you get a choice of whether you want dealer or factory fitted? Also what are the differences - is it just price?

As far as i am aware, if you want factory fitted (in the center console) it will have to be ordered and built in the factory.
With dealer fitted they dont build it into the centre console (they build it at the dealership).

Factory fitted is $250 and dealer fitted is $500
I am getting mine dealer fitted and i dont want anything build into the centre console.

Does anyone have the dealer fitted MDI and if you do how much space does it take up and can you use a cord so the iphone can rest on the dash and not be left in the glovebox?

Cool thanks for that kennyc

So having said that - Does anyone have a pic of the MDI in the console? I know what it looks like in the glovebox just want to see the factory fitted MDI.

Thanks

Just to clarify, the factory MDI is actually $270. You also need to factor in the 'pig tail cable' if you have an iCrud, as the standard option in Australia is the USB pig tail.

You can see a video of the factory installed MDI here in Episode 10 of Ask A VW Sales Guy

The price shouldn't be any different, in fact dealer fitted can be cheaper.

I'm not sure how you can get the cable to be on the dash without the glovebox being open...
