Golf Mk6 Steering Controls

[pistonhead345]

I’m using a Bluetooth dongle that’s plugged into the aux slot and while playing music I’m able to control the volume but not change the song? Is there a different aux cable I could buy or will I have to look at the changing the stereo to allow these controls

Wifes Mk6 golf has the MDI (media device interface) option that lets you connect a USB or IPOD to the car and control through the stereo. Also has the AUX socket down by the handbrake. Not sure if you retrofit it or not.

Hi even when I use an aux cable I’m still not unable to change the music back and forward through the steering wheel but I am able to change the volume

Hi,

What's more than likely happening is that you're changing the volume of the car stereo rather than the volume of the origin device.

I think the only unit I've seen online which allows you to skip tracks etc is the "Invery Air dual.". Can be had from their website for about $80 just now.

Thanks will have a look

Would you by any chance know how to find out if i have 2g or 3g mmi , i have a 2009 golf which has the iPod connector cable in the glovebox

Sorry, not sure how to check which one you have.

You have neither, MMI is Audi's rotary-dial controlled infotainment system (like BMW idrive). If you have a golf with a black and white screen chances are it is an RCD-310. If it is a colour touchscreen with no nav, this is the RCD-510, and the Big screen nav is the RNS-510.

i think ill just be better off installing a rcd 330 for about 200 than buying a bluetooth adaptor alone for 80
