iPod through MDI

Featured Replies

Hi Folks,

My Mrs is having a couple of issues with the MDI in her new Fabia vRS.

The iPod is playing OK, but we cant find the albums or playlists stored on it - the Fabia stereo is playing through every song on the iPod alphabetically.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Cheers

I have the MDI and ipod cable on my elegance - this has the Swing stereo - I'm not sure if this is what you have in the vRS, but I'm guessing it's a similar set-up.

I docked my ipod to my PC and then connected to the MDI. Like you inidcate it seems to head straight to 'SONGS'.

From there you need to press the INFO button so that you can see details such as 'BROWSE' and 'TRACK 01' on the display - rather than the track name.

Press BROWSE

You should now see TOP, UP, etc

If you press TOP it should go to the root directory of the ipod. From here you can use the arrow (or forward button) to toggle thru the folders: PLAYLISTS, ALBUMS, ARTISTS, etc....

When you get the one you want select OPEN or PLAY ALL - e.g. OPEN might get you into an artist's folder (if you chose ARTISTS) and then you can toggle thru their albums and select PLAY when you get to the one you want.

I hope this helps - it might not be 100% accurate (it's from memory), but should give a good idea of what to do. One tip - don't try it when on the move - it can be pretty distracting until you get the hang of navigating the menus!

Cheers

Super - ta very muchly eldo123

Was just sent to the car to have a play and your guide was spot on :):thumbup: :thumbup:

(they could have put it in the manual though....it would have saved much wailing and nashing of teeth)

Just need to purchase the USB interface cable so I can plug my Creative Zen in and see if that works....if I ever get a shot of the Fabia....
