Do you have a part number for the MDI and iPod cables? I am about to buy a new 2010 CC and they have the new RCD-510 radio but not the iPod option. Also, any idea as to how hard it will be to install the part?

I too have blown my Dynaudio door speakers. I want to replace with an aftermarket speaker. Can you tell me where you bought your replacements and the model numbers to order and that will fit the passenger door tweeter and door mount bottom speaker? Are there two or three speakers in the door?
 
Please let me know how things worked for you and your system?
 
Thanks, Steveie.

Two possible solutions:
 
1. Drive in circles
2. If you did NOT butt splice your connections, I would start there.

SAT Radio antenna? by njsteve

When I replaced my stock head unit (with SAT radio) with a Pioneer Avic F700BT, I could not figure out where the factory antenna is, so I used the provided antenna and do not get as good reception as from the stock setup.
 
I will say that this Pioneer unit, coupled with my Dynaudio speakers, is the SWEETEST sounding car audio system I've ever had. I flat out blows me away every day!

The "stock" VW radio uses a 'powered' antenna. The stock head unit sends power to the antenna where an RF (Radio Frequency) amplifier boosts the signal right from the antenna into the wire feeding to the radio.
 
I am not certian about the Passat.... but the Jetta antenna is imbedded into the rear window. (alongside the heating-elements for the defroster)

There should be a retrofit kit available. It's part number 5N0 035 342 B and 000 051 446 C. You'll need a harness. However VW will offer it as an accessory and it includes the cable. Sorry for the late response.
