Would've costed you half that for the cable via UK dealership online (including postage).

I'm telling you guys ... get your VW spare parts overseas!

Especially the small or lightweight stuff

Now if you want instant access to ipod playlist, albums, artists & etc.

But more importantly, faster access to your music than say via SD card or external HDD via the USB MDI cable, then get yourself a genuine iPod MDI cable:

Volkswagen MEDIA IN - 000051446C


Will cost you £16.66 + £10.00 shipping (which is approx. half what it costs from Aust. dealer) and an ETA of 10 working days.

NOTE: This online VW dealer (in the UK) normally does not accept international orders. But you just need to email them first so that they will turn off the charging of VAT (equivalent of our GST) and allow you to put in an Australian postal address.



As mentioned in my previous thread, buying genuine VW spare parts online (especially UK) is the way to go at the moment since:
- UK dealer prices are cheaper;
- our exchange rate is good; and
- no 17.5% VAT (soon to be 20%)

However, the only thing to watch and weigh up is UK shipping costs.


But definitely recommend this route for small or lightweight items (such as a MDI cable).
