    Problem of audio upgrade

    Hi there,

    i am currently having a vw trendline(cant wait that long for a tsi) and which come with RCD310. I found RCD510 which from china is around $100, but i have google for the information about install..but still have some confuse?

    -What is CANBUS for?
    -Is that the trendline cant install the MDI as well?
    -Other than the RCD510, what do i still need to buy for the installation?
    -Need any modify for the steeling wheel control? (volume,next song etc.)

    Thanks for answering my question..

    CANBUS controls almost all the electricals and electronics in recent VWs
    I don't see why the Trendline can't have the MDI installed unless there is a space issue for the connector unit thingy.
    The RCD-510 is all you need (apart from a butterknife/spatula to pop off the surrounding trim and a T20 torx bit to undo and redo the screws holding the unit in)
    If your Polo can control the RCD-310 through the steering wheel, then it will also word work with the RCD-510

    $100 is incredibly cheap

      $100 is very cheap. Well done.
      Perhaps others on the forum may like to upgrade. Care to share?
