Replacing RNS 510 with RCD 330+

[whichonetoget]

I've just fitted an RCD330 into my car today. Boot up is very fast, load times off of all media (BT/USB/SD) is quick too.

How can I tell if it's a Desay unit or not?

The labels on the unit itself don't reference 'Desay' at all - it's AIUAUDIO(?) unit, which I assume is the 'no name' one??! However some forum posts on RCD330plus.com with the same HW and SW references indicate that it IS a Desay unit??!

Mine is the following revision - 6RD 035 187A and came with SW version 0210

I want to know so that I can attempt to update the firmware to support Carplay. Otherwise, I'll just keep on using it as is.

Alright, I'm looking at purchasing one of these RCD330 units...
I'm looking at one of the more reputable suppliers on Alibaba...I've done a ****load of Googling, but no one can offer any decent explanations.

They offer 3 units at different price points, all basically saying they're the same thing. Why is the US$330 and why is the US$150 one, that amount when they all seem to be the same thing...

Well this might have been converted but i got to the 12 page and said screw it.
I’m putting in a rcd 330 in my 07 gti. I ordered my canbus (1k0 907 530 L) my question is is do i have to recode the module or can i just put it in and call it good? How hard is the recode? Is there anything i need to watch out for specifically? Are there any threads on recoding? Please let me know. Pm are welcome as well. Thanks again guys.

Yes the new gateway needs to be coded to match what is in your car. Takes 5mins.

No. Fixed by four T20 torx screws. I doubt you'd find a single phillips head screw on a golf.

thanks figured as much T20
ill check if i have it or need to get it

After successfully using the fuse mod to prevent battery drain with the RCD510, it seems that it doesn't work with the RCD330+ so my battery is draining.

Therefore I will need a new CANBUS gateway and coding. Is there anyone in Sydney that can do this? Please PM me!

Have received the rcd330+ unit today.
took about 10 minutes to install.
Yet to get Android Auto/Mirrorlink (using s7 edge) to work (wondering if i have a bad usb cable)
the radio asks me to connect phone which i do, phone makes noise and shows a charging icon but the radio does not progress off that screen.
will try another usb cable
