Which stereo?
blueislander80:
So I have seen the rcd330plus on aliexpress at a decent price - if I got that, it would have everything but DAB and a cd drive right? And would just slot straight in?
Cheers

Will the RCD330G plus also charge my phone when it is plugged in? thank you

Correct, the RCD 330G Plus doesn't have Digital Radio (DAB) or a CD player but you gain a bigger screen making it easier to view and scroll (worth it IMO).
It uses the standard Quad Lock cable so it is straight plug and play so no need to splice wires like the RCN 210. If you have the MDI interface or 6 CD Autochanger prefitted then you will lose those features but the RCD 330G makes them redundant anyway.

It should do yes, plus if your phone is Mirrorlink 1.1 compatible you can use it to view certain mobile apps on the stereo system as well.

On the safe side you will need to order an updated Canbus Gateway to prevent battery drain for the RCD 330G, look out for the 7N0 907 530 gateways which are some of the later ones.
