Thread: MDI niggles

I don't speak German, but navigating the site wasn't too difficult and I've come across this page:
Volkswagen Zubehör. Software-Update für das MP3-Radio RMT 100.

At the bottom is the PDF and "mdi.bin.enc" file which police state is talking about.

Thanks Corey.

There's nothing specific in the PDF that I can make out (it's dated 2010), but the update itself is linked as KW22 2011 - so build week 22. It's definitely a later firmware than the KW22 2010 firmware listed on my-gti.com. I've just applied it to my MDI and it seems to work a treat.

Update KW22/2011 MDI Firmware

Installation instructions (from my-gti.com KW22/2010 page):

• Download the firmware (see link above)
• Copy the file mdi.bin.enc in the root (top) level of a USB flash drive and insert this into the USB cable.
• Turn the headunit on or start the car and the update will proceed. If the MDI is selected the status will be displayed.
• After around 1 minute the update will complete and the USB flash drive may be removed.

I was looking for an MDI 3.5mm cable the other day on Ebay but the searches weren't very helpful - but that PDF you linked to had the product code, which made it much easier - VW Volkswagen MDI Adapter Cable USB RNS510/315 OEM | eBay

Mind providing details on the firmware - date of release, changelog, etc etc?

???? yeah sorry about that, strange as it is what I used?

Looks like Corey has found the file.

Have been out all day listening to tracks not skipping

I went back to my dealer and asked for the cable as I was supposed to get it as standard, as well as the ipod cable I paid for. The nice lady gave me the one out of her car!

Yeah - I have a jack in the car, but since retrofitting the MDI it's become non-operational. I'd have to disconnect the MDI box from th head unit each time I wanted to use it otherwise.

this address some issues with iphone 4 such as incorrect song display on the unit at times...still pressing backwards on mix mode does not go the song just played but rather to a new random song hopefully we see a fix for this...

sorry if it has been covered, i did a search but couldn't really find anything.

when i have the ipod/ iphone connect to the MDI, it shows "Media Connected" or "Accessory Connected". however i am unable to select songs using the ipod, only through the radio system. is that normal?
