We bought our '15 Golf TDI SE with "Fender audio" on the 31st of April.
We got the older 30 pin iDevice cable with our car, like everyone else. I still have an old iPhone for work that uses the 30 pin charger, so I thought I could still get some use out of it. However when I plug my iPhone into the cable, it shows up as an iPod with no media present, it's a work phone so I don't have any music saved to it, but it has unlimited data so I frequently use it for streaming services. I cannot stream Pandora, Slacker, or anything else over the cable, I just get told there's no media on the iPod.
That's frustrating, because on our '14 JSW I could plug my work iPhone into the cable, stream Slacker over the radio, and have my personal phone connected to Bluetooth for calls. On the '15 streaming only seems to work via Bluetooth, and I can't have more than one phone connected to Bluetooth at a time, so I'm left to choose between hands free calling on my personal phone, or streaming music from my work phone.
VW called with a survey about our purchase today, asked me a few questions, and then asked me if I had any questions. I asked if there was an updated MDI cable, they apologized for us having the wrong cable, but didn't provide any relevant information. Instead they are sending us a $300 Visa gift card for the our inconvenience. I didn't ask to be given a cable, or for any kind of compensation, they just offered to send a gift card to buy a new cable with.
