#32 of 41 MDI pics by rv65 Apr 11, 2008 (7:45 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 (5:48 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 3:12 pm) One more thing. This unit is firmware upgradeable.
#35 of 41 09 R32 by rv65 Apr 21, 2008 (1:59 pm)
Might not be an 09 R32 . If it does come it will get the new RNS-510 with the MDI. The MDI again has USB, Aux-in and iPod support. iPod is supported with a special cable. Also works with approved non iPod players. Also comes with an Aux in cable in addition to the USB cable. Mounts in the glove box. Price for the new RNS-510 is 1,990 USD with the MDI. The RNS-510 has a 30 GB Hard drive. 10 GB for NAV and 20 GB for music. You can rip audio cd, mp3, and WMA to it. MP3 and WMA can be ripped by either CD, DVD, or SD slot. SD cards work but only up to 2 GB. 06 GTI owners can also retrofit this as well. The MDI can display songs over the MFI. Also properly integrates the iPod. Hope this helps.

Replying to: rv65 (Apr 21, 2008 1:59 pm) I guess an RNS-510 2009 R32 isn't going to happen. The good news is that it's retrofittable. So just get the 08 model and retrofit it . The MDI can also be retrofitted. Doesn't come with the iPod cable though. 4F0 051 510 E is the part number for that. An RNS-510 retrofit kit is in the works. Also Bluetooth is coming out within 6 months and should integrate with the RNS-510's touch screen. Also should work with the multifunction steering wheel with missing phone button.

Replying to: rv65 (May 08, 2008 9:34 am) 4F0 051 510 E isn't the part number for the MDI iPod cable. A cable is coming out later.
#38 of 41 Mk VI R... by parklane Jul 08, 2008 (8:39 pm)
The MK VI concept of the R is based on the new Scirocco. The concept retains the signature aluminum grille modified for this body. It has basically the same interior as the current MK V but with some modifications that reminded me of the Eos. I very much doubt VW will repeat with another 3.2 V6. The new fuel economy and emission regulations worldwide are the new reality the engineers face. The price of gas is the new marketplace reality. I think the new motor might be a modified high output 2.0 with dual turbos. Also, the DSG could get the 7 speed with this engine size. I expect the new price to climb into the mid to upper 30s. Maybe optional 19s. Replies to this message: rv65 (Aug 29, 2008 10:14 pm)

Replying to: parklane (Jul 08, 2008 8:39 pm) The GTI-R will replace the R32. It will have an enhanced 2.0T with just 1 turbo. The DSG Will be a 6 speed.
#40 of 41 2009 R32 possible by rv65 Aug 29, 2008 (10:16 pm)
The Sirius traffic mentions a 2009 R32 as compatible vehicles for this service. That means if a 2009 R32 comes out then it will have the RNS-510. The RNS-510 navigation system has this feature. All 2009 VW's with Nav will get the new RNS-510 which will replace the MFD2. Replies to this message: 604doc (Nov 05, 2008 12:32 pm)

Replying to: rv65 (Aug 29, 2008 10:16 pm) No 2009 R32's coming to the States. Not sure if they're making them for Europe.
