B6 Headunit replacement

[garronleslie]

Hey Throbbinhood, you know a great question , it does take a while to boot, it's pretty much the same as any smartphone boot up time.

Yep, with the android unit in the reg, the reverse camera will override any source, maps, audio etc, so if you are in reverse it will show in the screen but only after boot up. It also has the guide lines, which Yu can turn on or off.

Noticed on the android unit it does have a DVR function to, so you can install a forward mount camera and record onto the unit via an SD card or what every , if Yu are into these forward mount cameras.

Just did a little hunt for some units on eBay and noticed they are saying if factory unit is RCD300 or RCD500 then the canbus needs upgrading.
Upon more research it seems this involves replacing the factory canbus and then needing to do some vcds/vag com stuff. Daunting stuff to me. Anyone have any insight on this?
When it comes to installing head units I have done a few and it should be fine but this whole canbus vag com is a whole new language to me and daunting.

Edit: should also point out I believe I have the RCD500.

Gateway upgrade is a very easy job. Yes it will need to be coded but there are sellers online who will have it coded for you prior to shipping. It's behind the climate control panel, has one plug.
