We had it working when the we first purchased the car. Now it doesn't seem to work at all. We pushed CD twice to get to AUX, but AUX doesn't show up.

We tried it with an iPhone and iPod nano (older one)....
I know what your thinking RTFM, but I did and so did the salesman but I cannot seem to get my IPod 160gig Classic to work. I turned it to FM inserted the IPod with screen facing right. Docked in the cradle which seems a little loose but it is docked and it does come on.
I then try and hit CD once and even twice both with and without a CD in the slot. But I cannot get anything from the IPod. I tried Aux but I believe that is the Aux port. Is there a setting in the setup?
Also can I use a 160gig Classic? In the manual it does not list that as a supported model. But I thought it was the same as a 60gig video Ipod. I purchased this IPod specifically for this car and really hope that it works as it is the only IPod that will fit all my music.
Can use the iPod Interface Kit for my 2005 Avalon? It states "Either iPod or Sat Radio can be installed, not both". I do have the JBL Audio system but don't have the Satellite radio. It also mentions it works with the 2007 Avalon, aren't they pretty much the same, 2005-2007? URL...
View 11 RepliesI haven't been able to figure out after poking around in the car is how to get the damn rear armrest down.
Logic (and the owners manual) says you just pull the little tab and BAM...hello armrest. However, I've given it numerous solid tugs and it only moves about 3 inches out before stopping. I don't want to break anything, so I haven't touched it since...
So -- anyway...the question is -- is there some tab or something I need to pull or something I need to unlock to allow the armrest in the rear seat to come down? Or it is stuck somehow and I should just have the dealer look at it next time I'm in?
Just put an OEM leather armest in my GLI. I ordered a new "sport cloth" lid from the dealer and was wondering how you go about removing the lid itself?
Took it as far apart as I could and don't see any way for the lid to be removed....
I've had my car since April and it's worked great. Just recently, within the past few days, it's stopped displaying artist info when the iPod is connected via USB. Sometimes it will say "reading media" and other times it will display "no artist, not title" and give an incorrect track number such as 1/50. I've tried switching between apple iPod cords and no change. I really enjoy listening to my iPod for my drive to work (35+mi).
View 12 RepliesOk so I don't really use the back seats too often but on a carpool ride one of my friends whos riding in the back mentions that the armrest/tray wont come down. Im like WTF so when I get home I realize it really is stuck and im trying to find a way to fix it to no avail. Is there something really simple that I am not seeing or is it really broken?
View 6 RepliesThis morning I opened my center console armrest to tuck the iPod cord back in, when I went to lower the armrest it only dropped about 1/5th the total amount it would need to close. I fooled with it for long enough to know If I continue to apply more pressure something is going to break. The movement it has is smooth until the point it abruptly stops. I checked the owners manual with no luck, called the dealer service center which came up empty handed as well.
View 8 RepliesExactly what the hook/clip thing is for that sits to the left of the USB/AUX ports in the Prius C?
I was thinking about making a custom iPhone dock that would hang over the side of the glove box that would attach to that hook. I've never really done anything like that before though.
I've been using my iPhone 4S with no issues on my mdi interface, as well as Bluetooth. I figured I would use a older iPod which has a lot of memory and I could just leave it plugged in all the time on my mdi. The mdi cable that I have is 5N0 035 554 -B version.
My iPod 5G video, was on old firmware 1.0, so I updated it to 1.3 which is the last version that apple released. But still not luck with this device appearing on my RNS-315 media mdi input. Just to note that the iPod is configured as follows: Format = Windows, Enable disk use is selected.
Any tricks that I should try to get it working ? (iPod works fine, connects to my iMac without issue). When the mdi cable is plugged in, it is charging the device.
I have a second generation ipod and it will play when plugged in the car but nothing comes up on the screen. What type of interface comes up on the nav screen when a compatible 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation ipod is used. Also, am I correct that all new ipods are 6th generation and they're not compatible.
View 2 RepliesI must be missing something obvious... I have a new GTI MkVI and love it dearly. My ipod plays well through the doohickey in the armrest. But I can't find any pause/stop/play controls anywhere. I listen to audiobooks a lot in the car, so really want to pause or stop the book while I make a call, or when I stop the car. The only way I have found to do that is to unplug the ipod, which is tiresome.
View 10 RepliesIs it okay to always leave my iPod connected to the MDI? I ask because I noticed it continues to charge my iPod even when the car is off. I don't want to hurt the battery if I leave my iPod connected 24/7. On the other hand, it would be a lot more convenient to leave it plugged in all the time.
View 3 RepliesI have a 2010 Jetta Sportwagen TDI with manual transmission. I'm really loving the heck out of it with only one real mechanical issue so far (a faulty Turbocharger Pressure Relief Valve). However, the RCD-510 has a truly horrible iPod interface. It's insanely slow, often won't show its "busy waiting" greyed out screen when it is cogitating forever about how to do its job and it fades up the beginning of every song resulting in the first half second of the song being lost.
Given how bad this is, I'm hoping that there's new firmware available for the RCD510 to correct these defects. Or, if not, where can I go to file bug reports? It's not clear who the real manufacturer is. It's also not clear how to tell what version of firmware it currently has or how one would upgrade to a newer version ..
I just received a new 7th Generation iPod Nano and it does not display album art on the head unit. It works when using my iPhone 6, but the Nano shows nothing...

View 24 RepliesI have iPhone, how to connect to the stereo with AUX. Plus, I don't know where and what kind of AUX cable I should buy?
View 10 RepliesI've got a 2010 GTI with the stock stereo. When I am using my iPhone via my iPod dock, the sound quality is good until I turn the volume up a bit (loud, but not blasting). Often it's a song that's a little bassier (hence why I'm turning it up), and it seems like after a second or two I can hear the bass levels dropping, almost like it's tuning it down. It also seems like if I mute for a second or two, and then unmute, the bass is back for a few seconds before it ramps down again. The volume levels don't seem like they'd be damaging the speakers, but is this something that it's doing to protect the speakers? Or am I just losing it?
View 1 RepliesThe material you rest your arm on when driving is worn out and I am trying to replace it. The armrest slides a little forward with a double plastic catch in normal use but I can't figure out what to use to get the two plastic catches to release and slide off so the new one can go back on. The double plastic catch looks to be about 1" in length at about a 45 degree angle. The two pieces that are the catches look like the ends of a clothespin. So I think something under there needs to depressed so the whole armrest can be slid by what's stopping it. At least thats what I think from looking at the new one and trying to picture in my head how it works. You can't force anything that is plastic because it will just break.
