Hi folks
Just got my Scirocco GT from a private dealer, and love it!
I've just got a bit of a problem with the media interface. I bought the iPod cable from the VW dealer yesterday, plugged it in, and only got music from the speakers on the right, and just a very quiet fuzzy version of the music from the left.
Checked the balance, and it was in the centre. Moving it all the way to the left reveals the quiet fuzzy music I mentioned.
Today I borrowed a 3.5MM jack cable to try that with my iPod, and that was fine, it played no problems. Then I plugged the iPod connection back in and I get nothing. I can see the info on the display and can browse around to select music. When I select a song to play, I can feel the disk in the iPod spin up, so I'm confident it is playing, but now I don't have any timers on the screen where it would usually be counting up on the left, and down on the right.
Playing from CDs, radio and SD card is all perfect, just the daft MDI port.
I like to think I'm a logical bloke, so I know it's either the MDI connector itself, the cable behind it, or the connection on the back of the head unit. I'm just asking to see if anyone knows of any nuances with this kind of setup or anything I should be aware of. Has anyone had similar issues?
Thanks for your time everyone.
