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,

  • Converting from android head unit to RCD330 plus 187G

    Hi All,

    I finally cracked it with cheapo android head unit installed by the previous owner (has no BT) and decided to purchase an RCD330 Plus (NONAME 6RF 035 187G) and "Steering Wheel Button Control Simulator Adapter" from the Lemon Shark store on AliExpress.

    Unit arrived really quickly and was packed well (14 day turnaround!) and I was eager to install. My car has the stock speakers and the previous owner had installed an Alpine amp in the spare wheel well and Fusion sub in the boot.

    Behind the head unit there is alot going on that is certainly aftermarket. It has:
    • A "Connects2" steering wheel control module of some sort which I couldn't find the model number of. Seems to be connected into the main harness so it appears harmless

    • "Saxo Buy" BNR-RGB01 which I believe must be either a reverse cam delay box or maybe RGB to AV converter or something?

    So, that aside - I guess I have two questions:
    1. Is it possible to run the sub off of the RCD330? (Current cable is RCA and a single wire that must be for a power ON signal)
    2. What needs to be ripped out and what can be reused?


    I've got no experience with Car Audio, so I hope this makes sense!
