    When did the golf gti get a usb socket for memory sticks?
    I recently purchased a 2015 (may registered) gti, but it does not have one.

    depends on what options you picked when you ordered it from new
    whether you have a usb port or not
    if it don't have in the armrest or in front of the gear stick where the ashtray would be it wasn't ordered
    in that case you may have got a lead that goes into the media slot in the glovebox

    i got a usb and ipod lead with my Leon fr

    No, its a model year change over thing. It will have the older MDI connector in the cubby in front of the gear lever because it was made prior to the model year change. This occurs in May every year. Yours was made before May so is older model year. Mine was made in August 15 and has USB, they all come with USB now not MDI, my wife's Apr16 1.4 also has USB in front cubby, its not a special order thing. Advanced phone prep adds another USB inside the armrest.
    Golfgtiforum.co.uk has a lot of threads on model year changeovers in the mK7 section.

    Cool
    Aye my Leon in 2014 it only has the midi slot
    And looks like the facelift Leon has the usb :thumbup:

    Would probably be quite easy to retro fit depending on cost

    Mine was ordered end of June 15 and delivered beginning of Sept 15. Yours is probably 13 months old.
