I got given this by my dad out of his 2011 Tiguan

Thought he was being generous but all it does is say swl initialising when I put it in my 2004 mk5 golf.
Is there a fix for this or is it screwed?
Cheers in advanced!

Isn't that going to drain your battery having an early Golf without an uprated canbus gateway?It will.
You can get newer gateways for around £30 from ebay

The biggest problem you're going to face is the CAN Gateway being an older version which doesn't support this stereo. Essentially, the communication between the stereo and your car will be wrong and the stereo will never fully turn off, leading to a dead car due to battery drain over night.
Odds are the version you've got is not compatible - get a VCDS scan of your car and look for your Gateway's version and compare with the ross-tech website.
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Navigation_System_(RNS510)_Retrofitting (http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Navigation_System_(RNS510)_Retrofitting)
This is a newer version that I bought (mine was 1K0-907-530-F, so needed updating):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-CAN-BUS-GATEWAY-CONTROL-UNIT-for-VW-RNS310-RCD510-RNS510-RNS315-7N0907530AN-/191085346455?hash=item2c7d92fe97:g:n50AAOSwu-BWPW~E (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-CAN-BUS-GATEWAY-CONTROL-UNIT-for-VW-RNS310-RCD510-RNS510-RNS315-7N0907530AN-/191085346455?hash=item2c7d92fe97:g:n50AAOSwu-BWPW~E)
Then you need to:
- Get a backup (screenshots will do!) of your current Gateway's installed modules list (this just details everything in your car that is running through your Gateway)
- Replace Gateway with newer version
- Untick all installed items on the new one (as it probably came from a car which had different installed items) and tick all of the boxes that apply to your car
Job is a goodun.
You can buy pre-coded Gateways ( @Eddie-NL (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2345) sells these ), where I presume he does all of the work of ticking the boxes for you.
You may need to code the RNS 510 in as well.
Any questions, let us know!
Good luck.

Tried it!
It loads the cd

But then just goes on a loop of saying this
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F11%2F18%2F7935051271819505ecbf4e68186fc90c.jpg&hash=dd9f88b02805f70e8ad35674a3b3d0e10f83ae73)
And then resetting
Is it goosed then?

Any tips on getting a code? Just phoned vw and he pretty much said even if I took it in to them it won't work?For example http://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-Radio-Decode-Unlock-Code-Golf-Passat-Polo-510-310-315-RCD-510-RNS-Gamma-Delta-/111647309412?hash=item19feb2be64:g:4TYAAOSweW5VLly5&vxp=mtr

most units sold on ebay would have had a new code made up
If the code via serial number doesn't work I have RNS manager and can make a new code

Need to get an ariel adapter, and also a gps sensor, seen them on eBay really cheap so that's no problem.
The sticking point for me is the Bluetooth module. I can get off eBay (from China) the whole module and plug and play harness for £68. Anyone had any experiences of China gear? All says oem on the listing but not convinced

You can always take the plastic connectors off your current leads and just plug the leads in without the plastic house. I wrapped the first one in electrical tape to avoid interference... Worked at treat and saved me £7 (and more importantly the wait from eBay).

I've got vcds lite and an old vag com cable, won't let me do what your asking, I guess I need the more expensive Ross tech stuff?

I originally tried a friend's VCDS (illegal version) which I couldn't get to work with my car for love or money.
Ended up just buying the full thing which worked wonders and leaves me with little headaches.
