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,

  • RNS 510 installation in 07 MK5 Golf, Melbourne

    Hi, im wanting to buy an rns-510 unit off ebay for around $1000 as well as a bluetooth module and iPod MDI kit.

    I have read around the i might need to upgrade my can-bus to avoid battery drain issues if its not a L model or above. And that the only way to tell what can bus model you have is though VAGCOM.

    I can install the head unit, bluetooth and iPod mdi myself but i cant do the VAGCOM

    Where is the best place to go to have it all installed to make it easy or someone that will just do the programming. Also if i can go get it hooked up to see if i will need to buy a new can-bus as well.

    Do most auto-electricians do VAGCOM programming for radio installations and stuff or is just a handful of places?

    Any help would be appreciated! noob here lol.

    Thanks.

    Im from Sydney, but check in the repairers section for melbourne repairers.

    Any VW place can recode your car / read what canbus you have.

    Volkspower rings a bell down in melbourne, maybe Tim from Dubaddiction can help you out?
