MDI Cable Standard for all 2010 Models

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post it since I was looking for the info and I got an answer now.

I was trying to find out if the MDI-Iphone/Ipod Cable was standard for our new 2010 Tiguan here in Canada, and the answer I got from VW Canada was that YES it is included! The answer I got specifially was that ALL 2010 models that support the MDI Jack are supposed to come with the iphone/ipod MDI cable as well.

The reason I was trying to find out this info is because, clearly, our Tiguan did not come with it. It came with the USB MDI cable only. It should have arrived with both.

I hope this message helps others in their quest for online information.

Cheers!

I dont know if this is true with all 2010 models.

I have a 2010 Jetta SE, I have AUX and XM, but no MDI or iPod cable. Getting the iPod cable installed has turned into a difficult task.

If you have the touchscreen P8 stereo or RNS510 Navigation, you can add the MDI. To my knowledge, at least in the US, cars equipped with MDI come only with the USB cable. The iPod cable is sold seperately. I have the MDI retrofit kit in stock. Part number 5N0057342. List price is $286.41, our price is $223.40 plus shipping.
