Replacing RNS 510 with RCD 330+

[water_Jetta]

Yea sorry i should have been more specific. You can't view the written text but you can get Siri to read them to you and reply via dictation. Seems to work reasonably well.

Can i ask which one you got?

I'm looking at this one:

it appears to have the Phone button instead of the mute. Which i would much prefer.

Thanks

Does anyone know how many different versions of this head unit there are and what the main differences are between them?

There are 2 versions of the rcd 330 plus at the moment, "noname" and "desay"

noname: more expensive, latest firmware is capable of apple carplay, linux OS
desy: cheaper, windows CE OS

both are awesome units

There is also a rcd 330 g which has a smaller screen... among other things that I don't really remember. But for the price, you may as well go for the rcd 330 plus

Sorry for the 21 Questions,

Did you also end up using something like this:

?

Not at all, ask away. I didn't install one of those no. MK5 use quadlock connectors so no need to convert ISO to quadlock. Also my Can-bus module is recent enough not to have battery drain issues or any of those problems. I believe that's what that unit is for

I installed my aftermarket RVC and digital delay timer yesterday and had it coded. Once coded i had to reboot the headunit and it's now working perfectly. the video quality is surprisingly good for a $30 camera. It just needs a little adjustment (currently pointing to low).

How did you know your Canbus module was not effected? Just from trial and error, or are there some documented versions? I have not found a reliable source of information on this subject.

From what I've been reading if you have the CAN BUS gateway ending in Q you should be able to get away without having to get a CAN module adapter.

Oh, you shouldn't have told us that. Now you are going to get all manner of questions! LOL.
