Hi all, had my lovely little '13 plate vRS for about a month and a half now and it has been pure bliss to drive around but there's just literally ONE thing that is annoying me and that's the stupid "Initializing MDI..." message that pops up every single time I turn on the ignition, I have my iPhone 5S plugged into the Aux for ease of access so I don't even use it but for some reason the MDI seems to just want to intervene even when it knows the only active input sorce is the Aux, I use it for both music and sat nav which is annoying when I have to sit there for up to 20s at a time waiting for Aux to finally kick in... and I sometimes forget how loud I had it previously and maybe even shat myself as I'm setting off

 

If someone has either a solution or at least a remedy for this I will be eternally grateful, it's the only single issue I have but besides that a brilliant car :love:

When the iPhone is in the aux is the mdi input totally clear ?

Aside from the actual problem.

You can set an 'on volume' you know?

Its in the menu (:

I didn't know that I'll have a look shortly

Yes there's nothing in the MDI port, just my iPhone in the Aux, strange thing is sometimes it can go to Aux almost instantly, others I'm waiting up to half a minute for it to do... something.

Can you deactivate the MDI in one of the menus? I know you can deactivate some of the external inputs but that may just be the AUX. Heres hoping, fingers crossed!

I'll have another look, I'm hoping I can deactivate it, either that or drop £70 on an MDI bluetooth module so I can at least control the music with the wheel controls.
