Maybe your expectations are too high? IMO the stock system is fine.

Is 10 speakers stock or is it 8?
I thought i saw on my order form that i have the RCD 510 but i thought the 310 was standard?

I have a Mark V which has two extra speakers in the front doors.

Mark VI has 8 total. Mark VI GTI comes with the RCD 510, other models the RCD 310.

Have you mucked around with the Voltage settings?

Maybe yours are too low.

I'd say the MK6 would sound better anyway, as the speakers are in the conventional locations and i'd prefer a 2-way not 3-way in cheap systems.

The MDI is fine and sounds best with AUX level on LOW.

I was also referring to the MK5 system in general that's poor and doesn't live up to the rest of the car, but have aftermarket Dyn's and a few Arc Mini's so not really a problem now.

RCD310 is standard for Trendline and Comfortline Golfs.
RCD510 is standard for GTI, GTD, and R.

Update - after an hour and half wait took mechanic 5 minutes to verify that my IPOD MDI lead was the problem, changed and all ok now!!

I did tell them but they had to check!!

Coolies, good news :)

Thanks for the info :)

My ipod plus the cable fits in the armrest console quite easily. They are the small usb + ipod cables (you plug either one in depending on what you're using, not one into the other with the retrofit kit).

I have noticed there are gaps between the tracks now though whereas with the old MDI (& RNS510) i had there wasn't. Any explanation on this? Could be a different MDI module or the new version of the RCD510?

In the Albums view, if i hit play on an album without going into the songs folder it usually plays the 2nd track??
