    JUST GOT MY CALIFORNIA REBATE

    Purchased my e-Golf on 4/19 and immediately filed my application for the CA rebate. I finally got an email today saying that it was approved, so it took just over 3 weeks for it to get approved. Just have to wait for the check to be issued and mailed. I still haven't gotten my plates yet so...

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    Interesting. Mine's been working fine since they enabled it. The album artwork shows up, too. The only quirk is if I connect with the MDI and use music streaming apps. All info shows up correctly on the car's display, but using the arrow buttons on the touchscreen or the steering wheel to...

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    That's crazy. You should have them call my dealership and speak to Mat Lucia in the service dept. It was an easy enough fix for my car. They didn't even pull it into a service bay. A tech brought a laptop over and enabled it in just a few minutes.

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    Ask your dealer-it's a whole separate cable. They should provide it to you for free. If they give you a hard time, email VW and they'll send you one free of charge. It's silly that they're still making the 30-pin and providing it with new cars. Apple no longer makes anything that uses that...

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    If they give you any trouble, have them contact Mat at Galpin VW in North Hills, CA. He is my service rep and super helpful in resolving my issue.

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    My dealership had me come in today for a temporary fix. For some reason, the connection was disabled. They plugged in a laptop, manually turned it on, and I was on my way in a matter of minutes. The tech said a permanent fix will come in a future software update.

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    I didn't hear anything today, but I expect they'll ask me to drop the car back off in the next few days to replace the entire unit.

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    Well no resolution from my service visit. They ran diagnostics and tried flashing the software but still no luck. They told me they were in touch with Germany and will contact me when they figure out what to do. The MDI cable worked in other cars on the lot. Unless it's a software glitch that...

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    I've tried that several times with both the 30-pin and lightning. I've also tried all possible reset/restart combinations with the head unit and my iPhone & iPod, with no success.

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    Since I got the 30-pin connector from my dealer upon purchase, I tried it with my old iPod touch last night and it also did not work. It charged but the iPod didn't show up as a media source. I also tried using the 30-pin connector with Apple's 30-pin to lighting adapter with my iPhone and it...

    Can't get e-Golf trip data in CarNet

    Will do. Do you have a paid car-net subscription or just the free account with the e-Golf features?

    Can't get e-Golf trip data in CarNet

    I purchased my e-Golf about a week and a half ago. Car-Net was closed when I got the car so I created an account and activated it the next business day. Since then, vehicle status from the app is delayed or nonexistent. Battery status shows but is often delayed by hours. When I'm plugged in...

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    That's frustrating, but thanks for the info. I'm going to schedule a service appt. Hopefully they'll take my word rather than have me try out the cable and phone with multiple vehicles on the lot. I'll post an update after I take it in.

    MDI connection not working with Iphone???

    I received the 30-pin connector when I bought my car so VW sent me a lighting connector for free. It arrived today and I plugged it in to try it out and it is only charging the phone. It doesn't show up as a media source. Bluetooth streaming works just fine. I have an iPhone 6 running iOS...

    Buyers of e-Golf. Did you pay MSRP full price?

    Bought a Limestone Gray SEL for $33,103 at Galpin VW last weekend. They were not budging from MSRP and were really pushing me to lease. Used Edmunds Price Promise to get prices at other dealerships and they reluctantly matched, after making me call and verify the price on my cell phone in front...
