Hi All!

New to VW watercooled, so far enjoying reading all the bits and pieces about Polo's

I'm having a problem with my MY13.5 Polo 77TSI's MDI interface with the RCD310.

Intermittently, my iPod (30gb gen 5, I think?) won't register. Sometimes I get the error message "Media Device: Not Functional" other times it's almost like I haven't plugged anything in at all, the screen continues to display AUX, most times, unplugging the iPod and replugged it in does the trick, other times, hard resettting the iPod, unplugging, replugging, turning RCD off and then on, or even turning car off and on (even taking the key out so that the unit turns off) won't work, and I go without an iPod for a trip

An option I didn't explore when buying the Polo
1. Because nobody offered it to me
2. I have no idea when it comes to this stuff
Was upgrading to the RCD510 or RNS510, I'm pretty keen on the user friendliness of the 510 unit's but don't need nav, so the RCD seems like a cool option. If anyone can advise on where to get one, some installation places, and what to do with this gosh darn Bluetooth touch adapter, and if upgrading to the RCD510 will affect it in any way?

If anyone has any experience or any tips and tricks I could do to get around my iPod issues or my RCD upgrade query, it would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!
Luke.
