MDI niggles

[Coaster]

It works very well, the sound is great, but there are a few things that make it slightly less than seamless.

Sometimes when I start the car the iPod doesn't get recognised. And occasionally it recognises the aux port over the MDI (nothing is in the aux). I have to unplug my iPod and plug it back in again for it to work.

Occasionally at the start of a track it stutters/pauses for a split second.

Does anyone else have similar or other issues?

The only thing I can contribute is that the exact same things are happening with my iphone.

Are you guys talking about the factory MDI or the dealer fit (in the glove box)?

[xblode]

Mine is dealer fitted (glovebox). I've heard the same issues regardless of factory or dealer fitted.

All of the above happens to me as well (dealer fit, connection in glovebox) what also happens is sometimes when I select a particular song it plays the next song in the list while showing the track info for the song I chose (wtf) to fix this I have to disconnect & reset the ipod and off/on the RCD. This is with an ipod classic as well.

There's a firmware update but it doesn't resolve that bug.

My MDI is factory fit and has worked perfectly (and hopefully continues to work that way!). Love it! Sorry to hear others are having problems though
