I'd had a fault code thrown up without this cable as I assume the ECU saw this was open circuit . Last time I checked the fault codes I had none with regards to the stereo. HTH :happy2:

Thanks that's what I've done already but it's not working - radio not seeing a dab aerial, but sees the two others for fm/am. Better get the multimeter out and check the 6m fakra cable for dab.

You'll need the amplifier I have and it goes on the left as you look at the rear of the car. Fitting is easy. You'll also need a twin Fakra connector and a long lead to get to the front of the car.
I got my double connector here

And the long lead to the stereo here

You'll need to remove the straight connector off the long lead (clips off easy) and put the double connector on the lead instead. Remove the right angled connector on the other end and feed through the boot , grommet, headlining and into the stereo. Put the right angled connector back on and plug into you DAB socket on your stereo.
Jobs a good 'un. :happy2:
If you need anymore info let me know.

Hi mate, I've just installed the same amp in mine. Do you have two cables going into the amp or just the one for the DAB socket on the RCD?

Quick question - did you have any trouble swapping midline for highline? I bought highline clock off EBay, but everyone with VCDS is telling me it's a nightmare to swap? Any clues? I'm looking to swap in a MFSW too (mines DSG)

No trouble at all as Kalu did it all for me. :grin: He needed to get around the Immo issue and I left him with the new dash for an hour then showed back up at his house and he swapped in 20 mins, drop him a pm. If you're too far away I'm sure I remember the option of posting the dash to him and him then giving you a quick run through on the install via e-mail or pm's. :happy2:

@toms85 Apologies if you're already doing this but you are going into the DAB socket on the back of your head unit aren't you ?
Connector Number 1 below on the Rcd510 .(if that's the head unit you're using ?)
toms85:
Thanks - sorted it in the end was something simple.. the right angled fakra connector which plugs into the dab socket on the Rcd was a bit loose and not making contact with the centre pin. Adjusted the plug with a needle so it fitted more snugly and bingo dab started working!

Well done fella. Enjoy
