If you buy the i-pod one I assume you should still get the usb as it is a standard item?

I'll be asking for it if its not there come pick-up day.

I think that's fair unless you get the iPod cable for free but would be better to have both.

Mine is in next Tuesday, I personally think its the lead - hopefully they have one in stock to do a straight swap!?!

Yep faulty lead, was replaced under warranty. Ipod is working 100% again

Is it possible to load older firmware on the MDI? Could be the latest one that mucks up the sound??

It's the headunit doing it (if by much up the sound you mean a slight pause between tracks)

Yep I meant the slight pause, sound itself is fine. It's just that my RNS510 and older RCD510 didn't do it??

So anyone using an iPod with RNS510 & factory fit MDI getting a gap in the playback?

Yep, with an iPhone. I just tested the playback and there is a pause a fraction of a second after the song transition. A note of the song actually plays, then the pause, then restarts - very noticeable. A USB drive on the MDI doesn't exhibit the same type of pause - there is simply a pause between songs. Although this may be due to the way the music has been ripped. I don't use the iPod/iPhone very often so I hadn't really noticed until I just tested it. Tracks do not pause when playing on the iPhone speaker.

The CD player transitions smoothly, but the media slot and HDD both exhibit pauses between songs. Again, this may be the ripping of the tracks, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not. Doesn't bother me too much, but would be nice if it was as smooth as a PC. I'll have to double-check my tracks in iTunes.

My RNS510 is probably going to be replaced anyway since the unit's Phone button and steering wheel Phone/Mute button often refuses to mute/pause the system when the unit is set to Media. Switching it to Radio and back again often fixes it. It's never happened on Radio, but I don't use it often. Just took it into the service centre and they said all the electrics were fine - the unit receives the signal, but it just doesn't have the desired effect.
