Polo 6R iPod connection issue

Post by Garfy »

My Polo 6R has the MDI in the glovebox. When playing from a USB device, the music starts from where it was when I left the car. However, when playing music from the iPod, each time the ignition is switched off, the music starts from the first track alphabetically on the iPod. To say this is getting annoying is an understatement. In my previous Golf with MDI the iPod always resumed playing from where it was when I left the car.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and is there a resolution to this?

Thank you

Is your iPod on the latest firmware?

Its possible you need an MDI firmware update.

Is you car still under warranty? If so, I would take it back to the dealer and ask them to update the MDI software.

Interestingly, my iPod in the courtesy car I have did this yesterday morning. I agree its very irritating!

Im hoping in my new polo once I have fitted the RNS510, it wont happen, but ill keep you posted if it does, and the fix if so.
