I'm replacing a RCD-500 and my golf is a 2007 / 57 reg  MY08.  And the RNS-510 is a version C .

Would I definitely need to order this part or does the original wiring not fit straight onto the back of the unit?

IIRC my RNS510 was a different connector and I definitely needed this  :happy2:

You dont need the adapter, there are 2 aerials in plastic connectors, take one of them out of the connecter and plug it into rns-510 and then the other will fit in its plastic connector.  Or, you can take them both out.  if you google it, you will find most people use this method!

Is this the other option?

I'm interested to know if you plug the biege and white connectors into the white connector leads coming from the dash?

It's an antenna adaptor from VW. Part no. 7L6051551   VW quoting £28
