Replying to: tangofoxtrot (Feb 11, 2008 7:10 am) Yep with some retrofittable changes. Like a new Touch screen navigation system called the RNS-510. Also USB iPod will be avaliable. The touch screen navigation system will debut in the Tiguan but is orderable now. The maps aren't coming out until July. Thats if you retrofit it.   Bluetooth is also in the works. In fact some people have retrofitted the european Skoda module and it works very well. The Skoda part number is generic and works on all kinds of VW's. This bluetooth module has full touch screen navigation integration. VAG-com programming is required.   USB iPod is quite expensive and it's for the Tiguan but could work in all the other golf chassis vehicles. 499 plus 65 USD for the adaptor. The 65 USD part number are for those who have iPods. This unit can play usb devices like thumb drives.   Hope this helps.

Replying to: rv65 (Mar 29, 2008 2:12 pm) Are you referring to the R32 or GTI? I thought VW has finished producing all 2008 R32 headed to the US and all are equipped with the older NAV system. If they are going to roll out the R32 with an RNS-510, I will definitely wait! Replies to this message: rv65 (Apr 06, 2008 9:27 pm) rv65 (Apr 07, 2008 7:59 am)

Replying to: mrgreedy28 (Apr 01, 2008 4:04 pm) All 09 VW's are going to get the RNS-510 no matter what. Even though the Skoda/VW European OEM bluetooth module works with it there could be a USA one. One guy's USA RNS-510 mentioned Bluetooth Audio. The RNS-510 has sirius and HDRadio built in.   http://www.lutschi.biz/album/RNS510/   Euro Version but should give you a great idea of what it should look like. The USA version again has Sirius and HD radio. USA version will have Bluetooth audio. There will also be Sirius Traffic as well. The USA version has a slightly different button layout. Also shows the Premium Bluetooth. USA version might be like it but won't have SOS. Could be possible to have 911 instead. The regular bluetooth is identical but wont have SOS. Hope this helps.

#29 of 41 MDI by rv65 Apr 08, 2008 (2:20 pm)
The MDI interface is now avaliable in the USA etka.   Module: P/N 5N0 035 341 iPod cable: P/N 4F0 051 510 E USB cable: P/N 5N0 035 558   Requires a custom harness since it needs to send the tags to the can bus. Works with the RNS-510 and other headunits. RNS-510 gets full integration. Also a non nav version of the RNS-510 will be avaliable. That version will be called the RCD-510. No Hard drive but it does have a 6 disc MP3/WMA changer. It too will have touchscreen bluetooth and MDI support.   If you are thinking about getting the iPod adaptor for VW then don't get it. It's far inferior when compared to the MDI. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: rv65 (Apr 08, 2008 5:32 pm)

Replying to: rv65 (Apr 08, 2008 2:20 pm) Might not be the right one. But 5N0 035 341 A is the right one. USB cable is included. iPod part number isn't right. Hope this helps.
#31 of 41 Retrofit kit by rv65 Apr 08, 2008 (11:51 pm)
One guy on VWvortex saw an accessory video. That video mentioned the RNS-510. The good news is that there might be a retrofit option. For those without the nav or have the 2008 nav now you can retrofit it. The dealer can install it as well. It will probably come with the unit, maps, Sirius extension or the sharkfin AM/FM/GPS/Sirius, AM/FM antenna adaptors, GPS antenna. Also it might include programming. Now you don't have to get an 09 to enjoy the RNS-510.
#32 of 41 MDI pics by rv65 Apr 11, 2008 (6:45 pm)
See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   Pics of the new MDI unit aka Media Interface. This works with 2008 and 2009 models. Even the 2007 GTI's can use this provided that their radio works great. Works with the RNS-510 and other VW radios. With the iPod cable you get full integration. There are also USB and Aux in cables. This can replace the Aux in with the right cable. The USB cable can only use thumbdrives. iPod needs the dock cable. Needs a special harness but supposedly there is a factory one. The Unit isn't technically out but it will debut with the Tiguan. Mounts where the armrest changer. Could be in the glove box on some models. Rumor has it that you can have this and the cd changer. Hope this helps.
#33 of 41 EU Spec RNS-510 by rv65 Apr 18, 2008 (4:48 pm)
http://www.lutschi.biz/album/RNS510/index.html   Some pics of the EU spec RNS-510. US version has different buttons but is very identical. US version will have Sirius Radio and traffic. US version will have bluetooth support as well. This might entice some people . There are plans for a retrofit kit. Cant let the 09 owners have all the fun. Works with the MDI. 1st vwparts says it includes the harness with their MDI kit. Enjoy.   PS: The RNS-510 has 3 different display options. Highline, Sportline and Premium. Highline is black and silver, Sportline is silver and black, Premium is all black. I assume that the R32 will get the Sportline when the RNS-510 is installed. You can change the display in VCDS aka VAG-COM. VCDS 803.0 is the only suitable programmer for the RNS-510 besides the dealer. Sound systems with an amplifer will need programming by VCDS.

Replying to: rv65 (Mar 29, 2008 2:12 pm) One more thing. This unit is firmware upgradeable.
