Hi, been lurking for a while -1st post , but ive just bought a 14 reg vrs 2.0 tdi hatch cr in black magic and now im just waiting to collect it from the dealer next week.

Ive got a few questions regarding upgrades please.

I have the bolero stereo with the aux socket and usb under the climate controls, and single cd slot and sd card slot in the glovebox.

I have an ipod classic 120gb (non-firewire) which i would like to connect to the bolero and be able to search different albums/playlists/podcasts etc using the bolero or multifunction steering wheel buttons.

I want more than just skip next track etc.

What do i need to get this working? Ive heard peolpe mention mdi and matsumi but i asked my dealer about this and i was told as i dont have mdi installed i cant do what i want. Does it need coding?

Can i retrofit the required parts?

I dont care if i loose the cd, sd, aux in and usb functionallity as long as i can control my ipod classic fully.

next q!

I dont have cruise control but i would really like it.

Dealer has quoted £325 fitted and coded.

What parts do i need to retrofit it myself please? can i get a full kit, or do i need to buy separate bits?

I know someone with vcds so i can get it coded.

As the car is only a 14 plate its covered under the warranty, if i do the above retrofits myself and get my mate to code it is this gonna void my warranty? Can they check that someone else has coded stuff not the dealer?

Many thanx in advance

Mitsumi (MDI in VW speak) is not available to retrofit. Whilst the parts are listed in Ekta (a socket and a loom), the parts are available in the factory only, although not too sure how it would be repaired in the future should it go wrong on a car fitted with this option?

Anyhow I looked into this shortly after getting my own car. After a Google search, there was a Russian website advertising the parts but I didn't trust google translate enough to part with my cash.

The t should have cruise control as standard

Cruise was an option on earlier cars then became standard

The dealer said it didnt have cruise control. It was 1st reg march2014.

I found this on the web anout the mdi http://www.carsystems.pl/vw-media-in-mdi-kit-ipod-adapter-retrofit-5n0035342e,id290.html

But it says not for vehicles with factory cd changer, mine has a single cd slot in the glove box. Is this a cd changer or a single cd slot?

I ordered my VRS in Jan 2014, cruise control was an option.
