New VW MFD3 Satnav/DVD player/headunit Fitted

Try going into the setting, i dont have an mfd2 but you may have to turn the aux input on like the mfd3
Thanks for your reply,but sadly i have enabled aux[A] and audio video inputs in the settings .
I was looking in the Briskoda lads section earlier and they mentioned about the aux wires going to a different location in the connection blocks .
Looking at the wiring diagram on my old head unit and comparing it to the drawing posted on Briskoda for the mfd2 they are not only in different places but in a different plug.
I assume the connection is made through the right hand plug in the quadlink connector for the original head because there are so few pins in the back .Whilst the amended mfd2 drawing shows the AUX connection in the left hand plug.
I`ll take a look tomorrow

Above is the link to the skoda page which I found quite interesting and helpful.[I know it`s not Briskoda.]
Anyway notice on their close up of the quadlink that the safe wire is already installed in the Skoda and the lack of a green plug in the quadlink ,this is probably due to no phone bt being factory fitted.
So I think I move my AUX wires from the blue plug to the green one as described .
And fingers crossed !
Here`s another thing ,just like one of the earlier posts I too thought the sound quality was better at first
and seemed to worsen later .I wonder if this due to not carrying out any VAGCOM adjustments .
Comments please

Ahh, that makes sense I haven't paid much attention to the posts on VWNavi about AUX in as I dont use it but I seem to recall something about swapping wires...
Yes I agree the sound quality is better, not sure mine has got worse though... I found a loudness setting quite early on and that made a HUGE difference, have you got stock speakers?

Im not sure the MFD2 is the same as the MFD3 but i'm sure I found it in the 'secret' settings... with mine you start the unit up without putting the keys in the ignition and hold down setup and you get a special menu, it was on there im sure... You should think about changing the speakers, its fairly cheap and makes a big big difference especially to the bass!

Just install the premium bt module, it works great through the MFD3 rns510 but now the buttons on the steering wheel don't work.
has anyone else experienced this ?

Here are some pics of the correct parts for the aerial connectors on the RNS510 
Connector 7 and 8, connection of aerial
7 - Aerial connector for AM and FM2 radio reception, double Fakra, without coding, 50 ohm impedance, cream colour
8 - Aerial connector for FM1 radio reception, double Fakra, coding B, 50 ohm impedance, cream colour
Radio aerial adapter
1 - Radio aerial input
2 - Radio aerial output
For the correct operation of the aerial, the adapter must be fitted in order to duplicate the radio signal.
The part number is 5P0035225 and the price is £52.84

Just bought the missus a new car and had to use my old TomTom to go pick it up and get back home..... REALLY makes you appreciate the 510 all over again.... The TomToms (and most other makes) are so sloooooooooow and the directions are really poor (IMO) although the 510 does make me laugh when she says "stay on this road for a long time" or when im going round a roundabout and she shouts at me "leave NOW!"

Big question is.... for £50 + price of a 2nd aerial, does it make a difference?
Hi Dave
If im reading your reply right,you say + the price of a second aerial?
The adapter is a 1 into 2 no second aerial needed i.e duplicate the radio signal
I posted this as it is the correct parts as fitted from the seat factory so may help.
Shame its £52 my dealer said he would give me 10% off though

Ahh i see now
But will it actually improve anything?
My rececption is fine and I get travel updates etc ok?
Only thing I would like is digital radio but apparently although the RNS510 has digital reception it is only for travel updates...

My FM and AM are fine as are the travel updates but if it was cheaper i would try it
Go on, we need more wealthy guinea pigs on SCNMy FM and AM are fine as are the travel updates but if it was cheaper i would try it

I tried to order this from my dealer today but he said the part number had been cancelled as of the 13th Nov ! Do you know if there is a new part number or this unit ?
