Hi All.

 

New here so go easy.

 

I am currently looking at a Superb Elegance Estate 170 DSG and noticed that although the aux input is standard, not many have the MDI module which I understand that you need for the IPOD connection.

 

The guy in the showroom said that they don't retrofit them although I could look on the internet as there are ways.

 

Also it seems that the car is only compatible with certain phones on the Bluetooth, again is this something that you can get around?

 

I wondered if anyone can give me some advice on this?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

(The above points aside, having driven a lot of nice cars I was astonished at just how good the Superb drove when I gave it a spin on Saturday)

 

 

I had the MDI factory fitted so cannot comment on whether it is easy to do after the event or not.

 

I use the ipod for my music but also use an SD card for my wife's, it saves keep swapping over ipods. Frankly I think the sound from the SD card is better. Just create loads of folders by artist and its just as easy to use as the MDI. One thing to remember is the you need to have mp3 files not the default AAC ones that Itunes loves (if you are using itunes). It's easy in itunes to "create new version" then copy those to the SD card.

 

For phones I have not had any problems on HTC, Nokia or Samsung. Have not tried iphones though.

Thanks for that - SD card looks like the way forward as I don't have more than 30 gb on my ipod anyhow!

 

The phone is the next thing I have to look at as I ditched my touch screed in favour of a basic Samsung GT-E2121B push button jobby last year with Bluetooth.

 

Doing a bit of research it seems that Bluetooth compatibility was more of an issue on older pre 2012 models by the looks of things.
