Does your car order specify MDI? Or iPod adapter? If Media doesn't come up with "MDI" in the top row you don't have one fitted, or the car has not been coded correctly.

It definately doesn't come up with "MDI" in the top row.

Car will be looked at by dealership in the next few days as it's on my order form.

I just tried hooking up my iPhone through my MDI (says MDI in glovebox) however comes up with MDI not recognised when I plug in my iPhone... May be that I am only using my USB iPhone cable...

Do I need to buy a special cable from VW to go to the USB type interface on the MDI?

Sorry for the simplistic questions... lot to learn on the first day!

You need the MDI iPhone cable, not the USB cable. VW dealers can supply, or you can get from overseas for cheaper.

As Swallowtail said you need the ipod cable to go with the mdi (part number is 000 051 446 C for the ipod & 000 051 446 B for usb). The dealer should know this unless they just gave you the USB one by default but you can't just plug the ipod in with your own cable.

Thanks G-rig, I didn't have the part number handy!

Yup. The MDI comes with a USB cable suitable for plugging in a USB drive. For teh iPod / iPhone you need the iPod cable. As your isn't here yet kgbagent, get the dealer to add it to the order. They are about $60 from a VW dealer.
