Hi Regi,

Welcome to the board - there's a Line Out box that is required..

Not a very good result though due to the overall rubbishness of the RCD300.....

You will lose the rear speakers though -
Have a look at this link -

There's a link to what you need.

Better off upgrading to a better Head Unit IMHO. Even the RNS.......  :wink:
