Just seen part number 5NO 035342D on a German site anyone know if this is an upgrade?

Hi All,

New yeti owner here and have been reading through this post with interest! The AUX port works well enough but I would prefer to be able to select tracks on the iPod from the headunit.

Does anyone have a definitive and up-to-date list of parts need to retrofit the MDI "option" into the Yeti?

So far I have the MDI cable itself - part number 5N0035342C

Kufatec Cable - need a link to this please

Is there anything else needed?

Thanks

Jeff

Out on my CX bike ATM, will post Kufatec part no later :thumb up:

Back home now1

This is the important lead that connects from the back of the Bolero > MDI unit http://www.kufatec.d...-Harness--.html Takes about a week to arrive. No-one in the UK seems to stock?

You'll also need the lead from the MDI to the lead for the iPod/USB/3.5mm jack/mini USB - these are all available on Ebay for about £15

HTH?

Can you tell me what I need to spec with my order (170 Elegance) to get this facility? The brochure is a little confusing . . .

Officially MDI not available on UK Yetis - that's why some of us have needed t oexplore the VAG parts bin

Thanks, Merlinman. I hated to think that I might be missing out ;-)

Thanks Merlinman, really appreciate it.

Jeff

Hi, great post very helpful. Only had my Yeti one week and been looking at the Gateway 100 but reading all your posts it's looks like the wrong way to go. Only have one question will the MDI conversion work on my Swing radio?

Once again thanks for all your posts.

This looks like a thing for us (Swing-owners):

So I could just get this kit and not need to get any other parts?

So I could just get this kit and not need to get any other parts?

Not sure, to be honest.

Anyone?!? "Swing"-owners?!? (There are not many probably, but still), have anyone done it ("Swing" + MDI retrofit) ?!?

The MDI cable, and my Stream Player. Will the MDI cable plug into a Stream does it have the facility for this fitment.

Swing + Denson works on mine.

Hi drbig, I've finished fitting MDI unit,to my 2012 Yeti, using all the suggested parts but it is not working.

Do you think I will have to have it enabled by a Skoda dealer?

Your Skoda dealer will probably be unable to do it as their diagnostic computer is less versatile than the full VCDS/VAG.com software. Mine was done in minutes by a local (St Albans) independent VW specialist. It is a mere couple of clicks on a laptop.

Hi JCP,

Thanks for the advice took my local dealer only minutes to enable the MDI at a cost of 17 euros. All working fine now I just have to finish the installation, going to fit i pod/phone holder in the jumbo box. Thanks to all who posted on this topic.

Have my MDI unit on order, arriving tomorrow I hope. Do I actually NEED the Kufatec cable or will re-arranging the plug as shown in the VW instructions

http://www.carsystems.home.pl/opisy/volkswagen_mdi_5N0057342.pdf be sufficient. (page 15 for the English version)

The instructions list a wiring harness, this is the Kufatec cable, if you are just getting the MDI you will need this cable.

Thanks. A bit of a misunderstanding on my part I'm afraid to say. It all arrived today and I understand now.

Have fitted the MDI unit, or more correctly, am trying to fit it. Finding somewhere to put 180 cm of loom took some working out, not that much space behind the radio. If only I could work out how to get the cable to the centre armrest area. I have connected it all up to my ipod but how do I get it to work? The Bolero handbook says that on Setup setup media there is a function key PD, I haven't got one of those. Do I need a quick trip to the local dealer to enable it?

You probably have an AUX btton displayed on the Bolero? This will change to PD if the MDI is connected and loaded.

The aux button resolutely stays on aux when the ipod is connected and switched on and playing.

It needs enabling via VCDS-the system does not recognise it until you tell it to.

Thanks, as i suspected.
