Which stereo?
Mark_DF05:
The skip tracks feature has become quite annoying now. Don't suppose anyone knows if it's possible to disable it so that I can cycle through the MFD menu with the mfsw up and down buttons without the stereo skipping to the next track?

Only complaint i have is the screen does suffer from glare somewhat- although window tint would see to that. I also cant find anyway to autodim the screen when the lights turn on. Ive looked through the settings, is there something im missing?

Hi Ads22 - did the canbus emulator cable fix your battery drain issue?
I have a '05 Mk5 GTI and am looking for android auto and want to use my MFSW.
I've ordered the RCD330 6RD035187B together with a canbus emulator as linked by PatchySan on page 8 of this tread (also link to the items i ordered below).

Eagerly waiting for delivery - will update when i get round to slotting this in. If i do end up with the dreaded drain i'll try piggybacking to an ignition switched power supply from the fuse box using one of these bad boys:

Got the idea off a youtube video:

Quick update..stereo and canbus emulator arrived with no customs issues. Fitted in under 15 mins all plug and play and everything works perfectly, including all steering wheel buttons! No battery drain either so I'm really happy with the result! Considering getting a rear view camera from the same supplier...
The Red Warrior:
Great result :happy2:
Let us know how you go with the camera if you get it..

Hi everyone, first time poster and as expected it’s a question!
This thread has been really informative so thanks to all of those who have contributed.
I’ve just bought the bullet and installed and RCD330g “b” spec into my MY06 GTi with the steering wheel module from Ali Expess and the aerial adapter from the UK. All went extremely smoothly and works unexpectedly well... bar one thing :)
The up / down button on the steering wheel are confused and change the MFD and the track / station simultaneously. I have a mid line display and later 8 button wheel (L - vol, mute, tel. R - menu, OK, up, down).
My suspicion is that this a car issue rather than a stereo issue as the up down buttons only charged the MFD before and never the audio.
Any ideas how this can be resolved?
Thanks in advance :)
