Replacing a RCD300 radio with RCD510 with DAB into Mk5 GT with upto date CANbus

<< < (6/8) > >>

Rich I don't mean to sound like a twunt, but have you tried tuning the radio?

I don't know what's on 215, but National DAB shows as 220 on mine. BBC is something like 225. With ANT 1 active and BER=4 I would expect you to get good quality reception.

Hi,

Just replaced my RCD300 with a 510 and as feared I have the dreaded battery drain issue. I'd like to contact Eddie-NL as he appears to be the go-to guy to sort out a new gateway but as I'm a noob I don't appear to be able to send him a PM?

Any help appreciated as I'd like to get it sorted this week!

cheers

Hi

Im new to this forum but just wanted to say how helpful this feed was. I recently swapped my rcd 300 over to the rcd 510 in my 06 gti and for some time i did struggle to get the right parts and info i needed, until i remembered about the forums.
I just want to say a big thanks to Eddie-NL who sorted me out with coded canbus and pointed me in the direction of this feed.

Anybody looking to upgrade to the 510 well your in the right place.

After reading up on the fitting of an RCD510 so much, by the time I actually bought one (£220 DAB version ) , it all went in quite fast. As my golf is a 2007 1.4 i found the gateway behind the cubby bin then behind the relays. Bought a new gateway from ebay for £35 , then thanks to Ess_Three it was coded , and i drove away a happy guy. the only problem I have now is the window mounted DAB aerial doesn't seem to be working only connected to the head unit. I am going to check the earth and see if it is properly earthed then lf not try and get the 12v supply connected up.

Saved myself around £50 by not buying a precoded, but if you can't get anyone to help code it just go for it.
