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,

  • RCD500 into a Polo....Possible?

    Is it possible to fit an RCD500 from a Golf V into a Polo?

            Why would you bother? The cost of the actual unit, and then to fit it would be epic. For that kind of money I'm guessing you could buy a double din touch screen with dvd, navigation expandability, better tuning options and ipod control, etc.

              The reason I would bother MKIVF is because I have one just sitting here that was taken out of my GTI and the one my missus has in her Polo is rubbish!

                    best option is to talk to the dealers, or a professional audio intall place. because none of us had that experience in the first place (or speaking for myself).

                    But putting that in, will be extensive work. you are looking at 500+ (custom facia). maybe you can sell that unit,and get one that fits striaght into the polo's

                      Sure you can cut it down to fit,

                      But the Polo runs can bus V 1.2 and the Golf's run version 2.0, so the lighting signals & the on / off signals wont function.

                        Cheers Lads. Guess the RCD500 is up for sale then.....
                        Do the Polo and Golf use the same Ipod adapters? I should at least give the missus my Ipod adapter now as I don't need it anymore I suppose.
