The MDI is a VW part designed to work with the car’s computers and will display detailed artist, playlist, title, etc. information, on the radio and/or instrument cluster multifunction display. It gives full control and info for the iPod. It can also charge the ipod or other device. It allows mp3 player control using the radio or steering wheel mounted buttons (if equipped). While using it, the iPod is locked.
The iPod adapter cable plugs into the MDI controller. If you want a USB, mini USB, or aux-in, you just unplug the MDI adapter and plug in the new MDI adapter with the correct end. The part numbers are below.
The MDI is located in either the glovebox or under the center console armrest. If it’s in the glovebox you have the regular armrest cubby shown above. If your MDI is in the armrest you have the media bay armrest.
