Part number 000 051 446 C does enable full iPod integration. It shows the nav's interpretation of the iPod interface. It works great btw. Much cheaper than so called iPod adapters yet it's just a simple cable. I guess the Media-In has the iPod hardware and the cable translates the iPod dock connector to it's format. It even shows song information as well.

Thank you very much. I'll call my dealer tomorrow to see if they have it in stock. If not I'll just have them order it for me. So far I'm loving the drive of my Tiguan. Yay for 4Motion!

Usually they have to order it but some dealers do stock them. It doesn't take them very long since it's in a US warehouse somewhere.

#8 of 24 6 CD changer by gordon17

I just bought a used Tiguan SEL and it had a 6 CD changer in the center console. So there must be one available.

You can get the MDI if you have a CD changer. If it's a Nav model then you don't get it. Some models might have had the CD changer instead of the Media-In. There is a retrofit version of the MDI/Media-In that works real well. It does work with a CD changer. No extra cables but it costs about $250 plus the cost of the cables. The iPod cable is the most expensive. It's about $35 to $50. You must use the iPod cable with an iPod. Don't buy the cheaper USB cable and plug in an iPod or else it won't work. Just buy the iPod cable. The USB cable costs about $25 to $45.

A bit outdated but it will work on iPod's made after the 4th generation. You must use part number 000 051 446 C. Don't use the USB cable with the iPod since it won't work right and you'll wonder why it won't work. Just buy the iPod cable and enjoy full iPod integration.

#11 of 24 Wireless key,sliding roof & windows by blackguan

In my 09 Tiguan user guide you can read that you can close and open booth roof and windows by holding lock or unlock on remote key. It's a mather of programmation in the car computer, any clues where can I find theses codes for my dealer to drop them in?

Here are the codes - I just got a new Tig and my dealer set these convenience features for free:
 
1) Horn beep when locking/unlocking (maybe this is default normally?)
2) One remote click to unlock all doors.
3) Hold remote open/close to open/close all windows/sunroof

#14 of 24 Sirius and Traffic by vbbuilt

Oct 27, 2009 (5:40 am)

Got my SEL w/NAV 5 days ago and live in the northern VA/DC area. Dealer told me that both SIRIUS and NAV are on 6 month trial subscription. I get all the SIRIUS channels, but I don't know if I'm getting traffic. In the system preferences for SIRIUS, a small window pops up, showing what I think is the unit's SID, both SIRIUS and traffic are listed. In the main map view, I select the traffic button, but I don't know if I'm getting traffic alerts or not. And I never see any color coding on the main screen, that would seem to show differing levels of traffic volumn. Living in this metro area, slow downs and accidents are frequent, but nothing shows on the screen
 
Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? How do I confirm I'm getting traffic?
 
Thanks, Vince.
