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

<< < (2/8) > >>

daveangel:
the aerial base is very similar to the blaupunkt product

however the vag model does not have an independant 12v supply, where as the blaupunkt one does.

the standard colour for dab fakra plugs is black

Hi,

Thanks for all the info on this, i have a 2008 GTI i have just fitted an RCD 510 with DAB..... but i dont have an aerial.

I have found this aerial  http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Hirschmann_AUTA_16_V_DAB_DAB_car_aerial.html would this be ok for the job??? also i realise that the RCD 510 has 2 inputs for FM/AM. all the dab aerials i have looked at only have 1 connection for FM/AM.... how do you get round this??

any help you can give would be great.

Hope this makes sensor.  :confused:

and that aerial is fine.

AndyS:
There are other problems which you should know about:-

The RNS-510 when installed by VW is programed with a code to say which car it is going in. This code then changes the rom data so that it can be controlled by MFSW. Hence if the RNS came from another type of car it will new the code changing for the MFSW to work.

I know this because I got one from Ebay and the only controlls on the MFSW that work are volume up/down

I need to find a garage that has RNS Manager so that they can change the code. There is another method where you change two files in the ROM update which I have not tried yet as I dont want to brick my unit.
