New stereo

[LukePolo]

Hi All

Is it possible to not lose my steering wheel controls and use the cars inbuilt microphone on my 6R Polo comfortline if I were to upgrade the head unit.

Im looking to get rid of my RCD510 to something aftermarket, as the ipod connectivity is shocking, and i want to connect my iphone 6 and not use bluetooth streaming.

Thanks!
Luke

Hey mate, refer to my post here: Best Alternative for RNS-510?

In short, depends on how much you want to spend and what you want out of it.

Most aftermarket units allow steering wheel controls. There is only 1 aftermarket unit that I know of that retains the built in microphone (Audiosources DS series), most others have their own on the unit, or allow you to plug in an external one.

Have a look at the Pioneer setup, I almost went to that before decided on RNS510.

I have set me mind on the Pioneer with DAB and Carplay

Finding that the Harnesses cost an absolute mint...
