Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • First post having been banned twice from NZ!!!

    Hi

    Now managed to surmount the filtering stopping us poor Kiwis from joining up! (they will fix that so thanks)

    Auckland NZ with a silver Mk6 TSI (118KW) with no extras, onto my third Golf. MK4 V5 then a MK5 GT TSI and yes, all in silver.

    Want to ask a question about an RCD510 install so need to pass this test first.

    Good to know so many VW friends in Aussie

    My question is this:-

    Replacing my RCD310 with a RCD510 bought from Ebay (good trader) from Aussie. All installed by an authorised dealer and and looking good but the CD app will not work. When moving to the CD load screen it just thinks about it and then returns to the load list of available CD's. Also the Unit seems to constantly hunt for the Cd's it does not have, even with the ignition off.

    The radio also cuts out seemingly randomly and "Cd Error" is frequently displayed. The deactivation of the "Transport mode" seems to do nothing to help.

    Returned the unit to Aussie where it apparently again works fine in the donor car (Golf)??

    The unit looks to be the latest with the different buttons i.e. no TIM and has the RVC video feed (even though mine is not fitted with that option)

    Any suggestions, my car is almost brand new, are we doing something wrong?

    Such a shame as the unit looks much better than the daft blue back-lighting of the 310 which does not fit with the now standard white lighting for the instruments

    Jules
