Anyone know if the MIB unit has proper line level rca outputs?

It won't have RCA outputs, the outputs are on the quadlock connector.
I don't know for sure, but I guessing that it has the same sort of config as the RNS510, as I now have a Dynaudio amp from a CC that is supposed to be compatible with the PQ platform MIB2.
With a coding change you can switch the outputs from speaker level to line level balanced output for an amp. You could easily stick some RCA connectors on the end of the output cables if you needed to.

Just wondering if this unit would fit into my 5.2 transporter and is it plug and play?

Definitely not plug and play.
Needs physical modification to defeat component protection countdown timer.
As soon as the unit is powered up out of original car an 8 hour countdown timer is started.
You have no idea how much this timer has gone down on a unit.
Once it reaches 0 the unit is effectively bricked.
Also needs a quadlock adapter harness and feature activation.

do you know if there is a way around the component protection? like having it unlocked via vcds or dealer?
my mother in laws MK7 has the car play unit and id really like to fit one of the MIB2's to my CC

I'm working on trying to get a solution. Main sticking point is map activation at the moment.
Can't make any guarantees but I'm hopeful.

I need some clarification on the advantages of buying either the RNS 510 with the HDD drive or the SSD drive.Some of the adds I've looked at don't specify which drive it comes with.Does anyone know which versions came with the SSD drive and is this worth buying over the HDD drive e.g. does it boot up faster or offer other advatages.
Also some info I've read about these units seems to suggest if I go for a unit with DAB+then I won't be able to fit a VW reversing camera.Is this correct?

SSD units are slightly faster, they have a newer processor. Not a massive difference.
DAB is a fair bit more expensive. VW camera still connects like any other RNS unit. DAB tuner board is internal, it just has another antenna connector on the back. you need to install a DAB antenna on the front windscreen along the passenger A pillar.

So just a heads up, it looks like there are a few chinese sellers selling what's called the RCD330G (aka Composition Media Touch 6.5), which is the base version of the MIB for the Mk6 platforms, with the adapters and canbus translaters required to get it working. It's got a 6.5 inch screen, built in bluetooth and support for CarPlay and Android Auto, but does not have navigation (probably ok if you're going to use carplay or android auto).

I'd be still interested to see if we can get the full MIB2 units working in the Mk6 platforms though, that would be the ultimate.
