Ready to race!
since it seems only the rcd units have the plug for the oem usb cable in the back, heres how to manually add it to your mdi so your rns will recognize the connection (play mp3 off flash drive and charge your phone).
so you got one of these fancy oem usb ports + cable. get the port installed, pull out the rns and realize theres no place to plug the cable. whoops.
so lets make it work. pull out the mdi from the center console.
cut the end off your usb cable and solder the 4 wires inside the
mdi directly to the connector. 5v, ground, data +, data -.
sorry about the messy soldering. took me a couple tries to get the pins correct.
make a little hole for the cable to exit the bottom.
now just reassemble everything. test functionality.
and it works. :thumbsup:
