RVC with RCD510

[Torn]

Now the there is the option with 2010 models to have teh RVC with the RCD510 has anyone with a 2010 had a look at the back of their RCD510 for A/V in or come across any info to utilise whatever is used for the RVC.

Does the RCD510 come out of the dash with standard VW Keys, i cant locate mine from my polo.

It would be interesting to know that one cos the 08 RCD510 certainly had no A/V in to allow for an RVC or any other source for that matter.

Here's the installation guide for installing into a Golf.

Are you sure that the 08 models didn't have the AV IO on the back panel? I had heard that early models didn't support it but wasn't sure if this was firmware or hardware. My post above has links to the AV IO details.

I was told it didn't and somebody sent me a picture of the rear of one for sale on eBay that didn't show any AV input but it could be hidden away amongst the "normal" connections I guess. I'd LOVE to find that I "could" run a camera direct into mine so I guess I need to find a way of confirming it one way or the other. While I'm a bit of a fiddler I really don't want to pull the head unit out myself but I guess if push comes to shove that's what I might have to do.

Thanks for the links though, it's always good to get more info.

update: I have noticed that this is definitely specs for a later version of the RCD510 as mine was one of the ones that would only take 2Gig SD cards etc.

NZ, don't worry about that, it's a 5 minute easy job and you'd be able to do it standing on your head.

cool, thanks for the info, i'm pretty sure the early model RCD510 have no A/V in, the MY10 is the only RCD510 to have the RVC as an option AFAIK.

I'm looking to make an adaptor to play video through the screen, not sure how yet, but might pull it out on the weekend.

It could be that there are two versions of the RCD 510 although I can't see a listing for two.

You may want to rethink that, there's CAN bus programming involved and the video is required in a specific format. Even companies like Kufatec can't get it right and they've been doing this for years.

Be worth pulling it out and taking some photos of the top and back however.

I didnt see any 2010 option when I made the purchase few weeks back. Still waiting for for mine expecting deilivery somewhere between January or February.

Anyone have any idea how much for the RVC option without the navigation pack?
Would my dealer still allow me to add option at this stage?

Why don't you ring the dealer if you are after a quick and accurate reply!
