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,

  • Media-In (MDI) Retrofit into Tiguan - Whos's Done It??

    Wondering from the people that have retrofitted the VW Media-In (MDI) interface/setup into their Tiguans - where did you locate and attach the control box? I am looking at getting the kit that allows for the MDI cable mounted in the glovebox but am not sure where I would mount the box?

    Thanks

    ive wondered the same but found that ive never really needed a mdi since u can just buy a sd card for 10 bucks.

      Yea, but from what Iv read a HDD / USB drive full of music is easier than the limited size of sd card available for playlists

        Hey Dubs, if you're running the RCD310, this is what I did..... MDI is just sitting in the glove box at the moment.... check out the thread.

          if you are running a harddrive, i wonder does it take longer time to read from MDI to read a such large capacity.

          My car came stock 310. I found that pretty much the same cost to fit MDI as getting used 510 off ebay (mine $330 posted and fitted myself in 20mins).
          IMO, 510 has SD card which meets what i need. 510 also gives better/upgarded interior look for the car.

            So are you saying you got an RNS-510 instead of the media-in? If so fittting RNS-510 only took 20mins yourself, did you need to recode anything in the car afterwards? I have factory compass which I have read needs to be deactivated/removed for the GPS to work.
            I plan to retrofit an RNS-510 as well as the media in kit, but interested to hear where others have mounted the media-in controller box? am assuming its would be somewhere behind/under dash out of the way.
