Mk7 iPod Compatibility (MDI, Bluetooth etc)

Then don't be "pissed". It is after all just a media system in an inherently compromised acoustic environment. Having said that it is a cruel joke that VW Australia decides to allow its lesser brand to carry the above when a GTI and also apparently the new Golf R cannot even spec it as an option in Australia.

Brendan_A wasn't the initial replier, steve2209 was. Not sure why Brendan_A felt like you were attacking his GTI purchase when you wern't talking to him?

Just to rub salt in the wound (sorry) it IS an option for us Kiwis on the other side of the Tasman. Would love to hear an explanation of that sales logic!

wait... so is it a software issue (which getting a discovery pro might fix) or a hardware issue (the usb doesn't support it at all)?

I just think they will allow it in next years model and then led taillights in the model after that as a "new feature" for the MY15 and MY16 models.
If that is true then HOPEFULLY we will have the option to buy and fit in the MY14 model.

The discover pro is a much more advanced unit and can do it without the aid of a MDI unit (which the older mk6 and discover nav in the mk7 need).

It's such a good unit... But it still can't navigate to Tank St in Brisbane city??

Picked it up as a one way street fine looking at the pic?

I got that to come up to, but it wouldn't navigate/calculate route to the street just like my discover media.

Dumb question. If I want to play music from iPhone with music streaming services such as MOG/spotify it will be through Bluetooth? Can I access all the interface of MOG through the touch screen or just skipping song, backtracking etc?

[Mountainman]

Just the skipping / backtracking.

Would this work if I retrofit this myself on the discover media?

Yes it should work fine with it, the kufatec system doesn't require VCDS either which is handy. Getting lightning MDI adapters can be expensive though.

There's an AU webstore for those guys too, not sure if it'll be cheaper or not.

Here are my notes on the different iphone MDI adapters and how they work, based on peoples experiences.
Blue Collar - 30 pin - Audio and selection (like Mk6/Polo MDI)
Red Collar - 30 pin - 4F0051510R, Video and Album artwork

White Collar - Lightning - Doesn’t work AVOID!
Green Collar - Lighting - 4F0051510AD

Hi Guys,

Plugged in my Android phone via USB so i can charge it and then my SD card sort of died. Couldn't play music from it anymore and kept showing an error message for the SD Card. Removed and connected the SD card again and still would not pick it up.
Is it possible to have a phone charging and listen to the music off the SD card at the same time? Or when you have the phone connected it disables the SD?

Yes this is possible. I do it everyday. I plug my phone (iPhone 5) in to charge then I play my music off the SD card. I don't like to use the Bluetooth streaming because the album cover doesn't show.

I had a similar problem with my new 208GTI. Plug Android phone in and the ICE would complain bitterly. It was to do with the USB network and Sync settings on the phone. Disabled those and all was fine with the world.
