Replacing RNS 510 with RCD 330+

[manol]

How do you all feel about the sound quality of the RCD330, I have one, and I swear nothing sounds as good as the RNS510 I had beforehand....there's just something not quite right with the audio quality coming out of the RCD330 in my mind....it's like there's serious issues with the midrange and the bass is weird. I can't put my finger on it.

You're comparing a $300 head unit to an OEM unit that cost $2500 at the time....might be being a bit picky....

That sucks man. Maybe send it back? We have a 2009 118 TSi which when stock has way better audio than our Tiguan Pacific 2012. I did the upgrade in both cars from an RCD 510 and both cars possibly have better sound now, definitely not worse.

Sometime I lose the rear speakers in the golf when i adjust the fader but that's fixed by resetting to factory sound settings. Have you tried that?

It should not be getting worse though, something's wrong.
