Hi all,

Has anyone put in an aftermarket head unit (eg Alpine, Pioneer) into a mkVI golf with the rcd510 head unit?

I'm looking at putting in this Alpine Electronics of Australia
and whilst I'm happy that it will work with my steering wheel controls I'm wondering how it will go for all the other info (eg climate control) which comes up on the rcd510 screen.

Also I'm going to put in a couple of amps which will put out a total of 1800w RMS so I'm not sure if the stock alternator/electrical system will be up to handling this much power?

Cheers
Lazarus
