Picking up my 60 plate Octavia VRS on Saturday. Does the MDI come as standard or is it an optional extra ?

Yeah sort of! Tax / MOT and svc due on my tired Renault scenic. Worked through the whole summer due to Olympics and had no holiday so I'm trading it in. Early xmas present for me and my wife!. Ridiculously excited.

Ok, thanks John. Bought myself an aux cable so will run my iPhone playlists instead.

Playlists can also be run via SD cards into the Bolero - the advantage will be that they're also controlled by the car.

The AUX is just a 'dumb' input.

Agree with that, if you want decent sound quality then retrofit the MDI. The kit is not expensive and its a doddle to install, then I would go with the tunes on SD card. There are to many variables to the Aux input, get the volume on the iphone wrong and its all distorted, same if any audio enhancements are switched on.

Will I be able to play tunes off my iTunes library via the SD card. I thought iTunes are MP4 and therefore not compatible.
