What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[kam]

Door sills the other day


tints today, 35% fronts, 20% rears



took out the rcd310


and put in an rcd510


the 310>510 swap couldnt have been any easier, literally took 2 minutes. just pop a butter knife in the top corners, they pop out, and the rest is obvious. no scratch marks either

Interesting Kam, I want to do a swap to the Rns510 too, glad to hear it was easy. Where did you get it from? How much?

just to confirm, i put in the rcd 510, its the touchscreen with 6 cd stacker

the rns 510 is single stacker, and has gps lady

its a bit more messing around with the rns, since you need to connect up the gps antenna etc

i got it from this seller on ebay, picked it up from him no worries. its brand new, the buyer of a golf optioned to an rns, so they took out the stock rcd, he has some sort of connection to a vw dealership

i also should mention that damn! does the headunit make a difference to sound quality! if i told you i upgraded every speaker and put a small sub, you would believe me. the quality is amazing, and the bass is so much deeper, i was honestly not expecting that at all!

I wouldn't say more messing around the antenna takes another 5 min unless you run a cable to the shark fin.

would the battery drain issue apply to me, since i just put the rcd510 in ?

I didn't want to make a new thread so i wil ask in What have you done with your Polo so far (and today). I want to know has anyone installed the HPA DSG Tune ? just would like to know how is the launch control on the polo GTi 6r . just some feed back if possible

Cheers.

No that issue only affects cars before 2009 with the old can bus module installed. I swapped my RCD310 to a RCD510 and have no problems and I have a my11 polo comfortline.

cool, good to hear! on my old car i wired the amp wrong once, so it was constantly on, was wondering why the battery kept draining after a few days

dont think theres launch control even with the hpa tune. please correct me if i am wrong though but my understanding is that dsg in our polo's cant handle it cause its a dry setup not wet....unless youre willing to destroy your gearbox by rev'ing in neutral and slamming into drive.

Well, with the dsg tune, it gives you launch control. But you're saying our gearbox is dry not wet soo in time it will destroy it.? I know there is one guy who has installed it on his Polo GTI 6r but i cant get in touch with him on the forum. So yeah .....

(by rev'ing in neutral and slamming into drive. )

I wouldnt do that with my gearbox im not that stupid.
