A ford falcon has full functionality when you plug an iPod/ iPhone into the USB port. Poor effort VW!
What is the plug above the usb? Looks like a MDI?
On my Mk 7 the plug above the USB is a 3.5mm din plug (like that on iPhone headphone's). Its not the VW media port found on previous Golf'sQuote:

FWIW, the NZ-spec Mk7 (both Comfortline and Highline) comes with an MDI mounted in a compartment in the centre console in a cubby in front of the gear lever. By default, an MDI to iPhone/iPod cable is included, but you can also get an MDI to USB cable if you want to connect a small form factor hard drive. That's what I did in my recently traded Polo 6R GTI which gave me full access to all of my music and I plan to do again when my Mk 7 1.4 TSI Highline arrives in a couple of weeks. Sure, you could also use Bluetooth A2DP for streaming, but this never seemed as comprehensive or convenient an option to me.
Does it make a difference what speed SD card I buy? Like 30MB/s, 45 or 90? They are the Sandisk options and get quite expensive.
The only real difference will be in the speed of writing to the card i.e copying data from your PC to the SD card. It won't matter in terms of playback in the car, so if you don't mind waiting a bit longer to copy your music onto the card, buy the cheaper, slower card.
I kinda see the point why VW has ditched MDI....constant updates to deal with apple's evolution in terms of software and hardware is too much...having had iPhone 3g all way to iPhone 5 as new software comes MDI would be playing...At the moment I have to have lighthing adapter thats connected to MDI...The latest software from apple does not let me select previous song and has issues with forward song too...luckily bluetooth streaming is unaffected to this issue
I think VW is dropping ios devices support because apple made change for the port? just guessing. ;)
