Are there good places to get canbus adapters?
Sorry kordo I have not found any places that sell adaptors as each Adaptor is made for each unit so if it was a Pioneer it would need to be made by Pioneer and so on . Every car radio has different plugs and the adaptors are made as part of the wiring loom for each model radio . There are some adaptors to suit some model OE VW radios if you were to upgrade from a basic unit to a higher spec model as it allows for reverse camera and steering wheel control . If you buy a Chinese unit it will come with the adaptor for that unit some models here Search Results : erisin.com
Yes but something like this would then allow me to wire in the stereo with its harness wouldnt it?

That's what I would do. IMO, the RCD510 and the RNS510 are far superior to Chinese units, in the way how they function. :)
Miro, bummer about the ANS :(
Here is a well known brand alternative that promises CANBUS integration, SatNav and BT (Parrot no less). Mosfet Amp and AVC input for your aftermarket camera! Off eBay for about $750 I believe, also available from any Pioneer stockist. Fits straight into 2012 T5 dash.
AVIC-F9310BT Multi-sensor GPS, Entertainment & Communication System exclusively for Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda cars - Pioneer Navigation - GPS
I agree with Transporter, my options would be as follows:
1. OEM RNS510/RCD510 with VW BT module
2. This Pioneer
3. ANS/DNS radios
4. any other Chinese radios
Transporter, would you have some more details about the option of an adaptor for RCD510 to connect RVC?
Does RCD510 have some sort of video input at the back or front? Is that what the adaptor is for? What kind of an adaptor would be suitable? Thanks for commenting.
Yes I had a look at this one the other day all I did not like was the piddly little screen seems a shame to make a compartible unit and only incorporate such a small screen area , maybe I am just fussy as I like the full screen 8inch one that I have .Here is a review not mine but it has merit .http://www.cnet.com.au/pioneer-avic-...-339298117.htmQuote:

I only opted for the video adapter because I've already fitted the aftermarket RVC in that Touareg and don't want to install the handle RVC into the tailgate (not the easiest thing to do, if done properly) :)Quote:
