As the original RCD-125 radio don't have a USB input, I am looking to add one.

There is this solution which is wonderful, but the manufacture say it does not support the RCD-125.

Do you know any other solution?

I take it you don't have the slot for maps&more? As that would mean you could use a micro SD card instead of a USB stick for music. If that was yourintentionand would I expect not be that much more than what you are proposing to do?

I don't have the M&M slot. All other Radio units of VW allow adding USB connector device, but could not find any for the UP model.

Oh shame on not having the M&M slot would have been the idealsolution. The only other solution other than fitting a single din radio is fitting the RMT200 that is in the Up! acesscories brochure, not cheap at £275.

"RMT200 is an MP3 radio with title display, USB slot, SD card reader, iPod/iPhone control and charging, AUX-IN with A2DP audio streaming and Bluetooth hands-free system is the smart all-around solution for the greatest listening pleasure. The stylish piano lacquer appearance creates
the perfect look."

just plug an mp3 player into the radio. Why faff with usb?

I don't understand why they still fit CD players. They could at least give the option of which unit is fitted with the car. I never use a CD player but the USB input would be useful as it displays track titles and lets you control the iPod from the radio controls.

I agree! Everything is on the cloud ( or other simalar things) which means theres not much use for a cd player anymore, my mates audi has a usb connector thing for his audio and he chose to get a complimentary ipod connector to plug into it, he could of got other connectors but chose that 1! I suppose the m&m is useful for what you want, but it means getting a micro sd card which I havn't done yet, I have only just figured out how to play music off my iphone via the bluetooth. Haha

O as a foot note I guess not everybody's music will be on the cloud, I was just saying that's the way things are moving, digitalised!!

I burn about 10 albums onto a cd, just as good as a mem stick....then again, I've also got 32Gb on the M&M

Why not use bluetooth and Spotify?? Much better than CD and SD cards what so ever.....

 

[Davec86]

The Bluetooth sound quality isn't great, much much better from an SD card/USB/AUX etc.
