RCD330 with apple car play
c.grex:
I've now installed the RCD330 with CarPlay.
I also installed a reverse camera too.
Bugs found so far:
Right hand buttons are messed up (knew this before I bought, have seen new firmware to fix this but up to now I can't find it anywhere!)CarPlay and the reverse camera don't like to work together! If I leave maps up and then put it into reverse I just get a black screen until I unplug the USB and plug it back in again.
I don't seem to be able to change the volume the radio turns on at. Not a big issue, but a setting does seem to show you can change this so must be a bug.
I can't turn the voice directions off when using CarPlay maps to navigate, again a option is there to turn it off, it just doesn't do anything.
Other things to note is that you need a delay timer when fitting a camera. The radio doesn't have RDS, so won't auto retune to local frequencies. You can't same logos or names for radio stations. I don't get any type of album art from USB or SD card.
Bluetooth seems to work fine, no issues with built in mic. I can stream Spotify via Bluetooth perfectly. I needed a different antenna adaptor to use both the leads in the car.

Really don't want to spend over £400.
I want Bluetooth, a reverse camera and the option of some sort of navigation (carplay may do this). When searching I came across a RCD330 with carplay on ebay. and then have seen these listed from china.

Wouldn't bother throwing money for this - Pretty sure the carplay/ mirror link doesn't work satisfying at all..
Track down a RNS-315 with Bluetooth. It's a genuine option and you know the mic for the Bluetooth work etc etc.
willni:
More hassle than its worth to go for one of the new units. It's hard to go from a mk6 golf to the mk7 system let alone the mk5 systems which are even older.
Best option is RNS-315 Bluetooth, reverse camera and nav £300 or so + canbus gateway if needed £55 + rear camera £300 odd if i remember

I have one of these installed in my car. Bluetooth is good, as is built in microphone for calls. Carplay works, no problems just need to make sure you are using a genuine cable. The stereo is a direct fit with the standard quadlock adapter and you should be supplied with a double fakra to single adapter within the box for the radio. I haven't tried mirror link yet but will have a go later on this week.
Only thing you may need to do is update canbus gateway in car as this suffers from the same battery drain issues as the RNS510
Paid £140 for this through aliexpress and bear in mind this is a genuine VW part - 6RD 035 187 A, just not to the european market.
I will try and get some pics up later of it installed. Hope this helps

Thank you that would be good. I'm going to do the gateway just in case as I have access to VCDS. Are you running a camera or not?
