Replacing RNS 510 with RCD 330+

Finally got around to purchasing:

when you remove the surrounding molding is it fixed in place with phillips head screws?

No. Fixed by four T20 torx screws. I doubt you'd find a single phillips head screw on a golf.

After successfully using the fuse mod to prevent battery drain with the RCD510, it seems that it doesn't work with the RCD330+ so my battery is draining.

Therefore I will need a new CANBUS gateway and coding. Is there anyone in Sydney that can do this? Please PM me!

[Denzark]

Have received the rcd330+ unit today.
took about 10 minutes to install.
Yet to get Android Auto/Mirrorlink (using s7 edge) to work (wondering if i have a bad usb cable)
the radio asks me to connect phone which i do, phone makes noise and shows a charging icon but the radio does not progress off that screen.
will try another usb cable

[Denzark]

Turned out to be faulty USB cable. All good now.
Plays music. Does navigation. Dictated text message.
Very happy.

Here it is. Going to get another black usb

The Nonda ZUS cable with right angle USB plug is super tough and pretty good value. 1.2m is just enough to get from the unit, inside the dash, under the gear stick panel and into the centre arm rest console to hide the cable. As per the pic you can drill/dremel into the stereo bezel (or the stereo) to hide the cable. Bezel costs ~$25 on ebay .

If anyone needs a new CANBUS gateway I have two unused.

Now driving a new Tiguan so didn't get around to testing them.

Send me a PM, I'm open to offers.

Is there a way I can get a AA and CarPlay firmware update for my system?

Hardware: 526
Software: 5221
Bluetooth: C180

Thanks in advance.

Just thought i'd add an update for anyone with the same car as I was told the RCD330 wouldn't work in my Passat V6 FSI Highline as I had the Dynaudio system.

Decided to take the plunge anyway and it works great! Didn't even need to unplug the battery. Only things not working are the dash info display, the climate control status isn't showing on the screen and obviously my reversing camera which I knew.

Hoping those first 2 can be changed with the OBDeleven but i wouldn't have a clue where to begin, I've also read I need to set the volume lower with it? And I've just bought this adaptor so hopefully that gets the camera going CVBS RGB Signal Converter Adaptor for VW Volkswagen RNS315 RNS510 RCD510 RGB A | eBay

It works with Dynaudio, but it's outputting speaker level unbalanced to the amp.
So it's not ideal for sound quality.
Original head units can be coded to change the outputs to line level balanced, which is what the amp needs.

Ideally you need to put a line level converter in between the head unit and your amp.

A camera adapter will work only if you have a low line reverse camera (IE the guidelines don't bend). If you have a highline camera it won't work.

You can either bypass the highline module and feed the camera direct to the head unit (with a digital delay relay triggered off the reverse light) or put in an aftermarket camera.

And that converter is no good even if the head unit was smart enough to work with the highline module as it's converting the wrong way. You'd need an rgbs to composite converter, not the other way around.

Unfortunately the cluster screens and climate control status won't come back, as they aren't supported.

Sound quality sounds fine to me, not really any different to before to my ears. Only difference seems to be is it get's louder a lot quicker, ie half way is probably as loud as my old unit at 3/4 or more so would need to be careful not to go much higher than half.

Thanks for the advice, i managed to cancel the order on that convertor as I have a highline so it won't work. i'll just have buy an aftermarket camera then which will be annoying to run... any suggestions on one that will work?

I can live without the cluster screens and climate control status, they were nice to have but Android Auto is a million times better!
