RCD510 skipping first part of every song on MP3's

[smipx013]

Hi all,

I tried posting this on various Tiguan forums but not a lot of replies (due to RCD510 being fairly new on not in every market) so I thought i'd have a go here.


I have a brand new Tiguan with the RCD510 and I have a small issue that is driving me nuts. I have an SD card with MP3 songs and also a CD with MP3's and on both the first 0.25-0.5 seconds of the song is chopped off whenever I change tracks. Sounds insignificant but it is really beginning to bug me.
does anyone else have this issue?

I have checked the MP3's on my PC and on the ipod and they are just fine.
Talked to a local VW garage and they said they never heard of this before (surprise surprise).

Can anyone else test this out for me or share their experience? It shouldn't matter if it is in a Golf, Passat, Tig, etc. as I think if it is a bug then it will be common to all cars with the RCD510

thanks Paul

Hi,
Just in case anyone else comes across this problem. My solution was to use a program called mpTrim PRO to add 1.5 seconds to the beginning of every mp3 song. This worked just fine and the program is lossless so no degradation of quality.
To be honest I could not be bothered to go to VW as I kind of knew the world of pain and inconvenience it was going to open up!!
Cheers,
Paul
