    Hey Kamold, yep both those units are good, and I did look at joying, nothing wrong with them, they are all pretty much the same.

    The iney reason I went eBay was they had distribution from Sydney and when I emailed the communication was very good.

    B6 Headunit replacement

    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.
