RCD330 with apple car play
c.grex:
Well I've ordered too. Managed to get 330, Camera with a delay unit (Was advised by the seller they work better with this unit?), and canbus gateway all from the same seller.
We'll see how much the import tax is when it comes. Not expecting it soon.

It's a bit complicated, what does this even mean?!?! lol

If you would upgrade firmware, you need upgrade RAM as well. Option 'No Name with RAM' means we will send additional 1 piece 256MB DDR3 RAM, and 1* no name radio

As for battery drain, the RNS gets around that problem with a firmware update, so I'm sure the same must apply with this unit.
So with the carplay, does it connect with Bluetooth or a cable? Does it play from where you left off, and does it re-pair itself automatically if you leave BT switched on on your phone?

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?

So I managed to get some photos of the unit working with both Carplay - Iphone 6 (white cable) and Mirrorlink HTC M8 (black cable), stereo works with multifunction steering wheel.

Looks good mate - what version gateway did you have in the car?

Thanks, looks really good. Good to know about steering wheel although I don't have one, I may in the future
I ordered Thursday and just had the tracking through today and it shows it as being delivered Monday.
I'll update with what fees I have to pay and after I've installed everything (gateway, RCd330, and camera)
