RCD310 install into 2005 golf gti mkv

[raygti]

Hi guys

have tried installing an rcd310 unit into the golf gti mkv.... havnt updated the canbus yet.

however, without coding the unit ( have to find someone with vagcom yet )

switched on the unit , it was displaying "1000" Safe... i then proceeded to put in the security code

and all the unit does now is say "SAFE" in big letters.. yet when i click the cd button it will start playing a cd....

it gets interesting....

once i switch off the car. it now goes back into this "SAFE" screen and from then on i cant access any function, unless i manually unplug the unit from the rear...


does this mean i have a bogus unit, bogus code (which was supplied by vw so it shouldnt be wrong) or is it a simple matter of coding. the unit in it previously is a mfd2 sat nav.


doing all these trials before i fit my rcd510 in and coding occurs!

appreciate your views.

i apologise in advance if there is the same thread open somewhere but i havnt found any .....

cheers !
