RCD510 MDi Help?

[Bambazonke]

MDI will work with Bosch RCD 310 & 510 units fitted as std in Europe,SA, Aus and some other markets without any additional coding required. The yellow plug that looks like the old PS2 plug is used as a USB only input. Suggest try and get someone in the USA (Dana@rosstech?) for the correct coding of Chinese made Delphi unit (as photo above)as these are fitted as std in both the Chinese and the NAR market.
Aw614 Please tell Dana you have an MDI fitted and had sat radio module previously installed with your old RCD 310. You will have to disable the sat radio module in the canbus module 19 and physically disconnect the power to the sat radio module if you want to permanently remove the error in module 19. the radio module 56 will have to be told there is a MDI attached and This should remove the errors in these two modules.

There are also some Delphi units that do not support the telephone book option not sure which ones but they may account for some errors in your telephone module 77

Thanks for the input I'll probably message dana over at vwvortex, and I'll probably disable the sat radio as it is something I dont use and see what happens.

Roscoe1974: If you can get a scan of your vcds, you think you can find out if your "media player 3" option cannot be found? I think this is the MDI in vcds and it looks like it isn't communicating

This is what I get on my autoscan with the rcd510

With the RCD 310:

Hey aw614,

I'll get in touch with someone local in the early new year and see if I can grab a VCDS scan when they're able, and will report back. Thinking of buying a VCDS cable myself, but I fear for my sanity if I do - I'm sure I'll fall down the 'rabbit hole' of trying too many things and my Tig will end up being an immobile heap of crap in the garage! (errrmm...I love my car, don't get me wrong, I just know I'll go that one step too far, and the Tig will probably self-destruct!)

Keep me posted please as I'm having the same problem. I don't have a chinese 510, I have the new 'B' model, fresh from a new car. I've seapped for the 310 in my 2011 multivan but it doesn't see the MDI or give me any on screen options.
