        Guys just talk to your dealers when I went to pick up my car yesterday I just told them I was under the presumption it came with it and the dealer told me it's usually like $85 but he'd just chuck one in for me , maybe I just had a great dealer but most people can get them for nothing all u have to do is ask

          The cable should be part of the audio pack. Check sales brochure. My dealer said the same thing as if he was doing me some great big favour but I didn't burst his bubble.

            No issue GTI JOE, it's the legit VW cable from what I can tell. Works a treat with the iPod, but only tested it for 15 minutes or so. Will report back if anything goes wrong.

            Definitely worth asking your dealer about it though, as Geoff said. I was under the impression an iPod cable would come with an $800 audio pack, and I'd never pay $80 through the dealer for something I can get off ebay for $20. They might just throw it in for free if you look annoyed.

              You guys could've saved on the Audio Package (costs $770) and got a FM transmitter.

              FM Transmitter Car Charger 4 iPhone 4 3GS iPod iTouch | eBay

              Just hook it up to the bottom of your ipod and away you go. Only costs 7 bucks and it's wireless which means you can pass your ipod around the car unlike the MDI. Practically no static. Also allows you to charge your ipod/iphone3/4, etc. if you have it plugged in.

              I'd get this over a $770 audio package any day.

                I'm not so easily pleased, and am happy with the Audio Packq

                    LOL, but I can understand if one is on a tight budget.

                      The cost of the Audio package includes the RCD510 (as well as the MDI interface). So...it's not $770.00 just for the MDI.

                        This has got me thinking - if the RCD or RNS are options that can be Dealer fitted, do you have a claim to have the original head unit returned to you? Just being AR here rather than serious

                          I'd say no. Dealer would suggest that the cost of fitting & supply (prior to delivery) does not include the additional supply of the replaced unit.

                              Is the Media In connection device the same part as the one for the MDI connection device?

                                Wish I'd seen this thread before I wasted 1 hour taking my GTi to a dealer to find out I had to get another cable.
                                Be interesting to see if the MY12s come with an iPod cable or the standard one that comes with MDI - be advised potential MY12 owners.
                                Anyway, picked up a genuine VW cable off eBay for $A20, rather than the $90 price via the dealer.
