Hi guys, please tell me if I posted at the wrong place. Do I need a new CAN BUS gateway if I upgrade a non-mp3 RCD300 to a RCD300 mp3 one? or is there any other ones that I can upgrade to without changing the CAN BUS? as I know me and car electrics will end up with a big red FAIL!!!!
-
Can Gateway only needs changing when moving to a 310 or 510 (RCD and RNS).
No battery drain with the RCD300 MP3...
:happy2:
-
Nope, I changed my RCD300 to a RCD300-MP3 without changin anything othere than the head unit, Just need the code for the new unit.
-
I assume it'll be the same too for my 2005 car then!
*runs off to look on ebay for a RCD300 mp3 version!!!!
Thanks
-
Yeah mine is a 2005 car aswell.

Hi, are all RCD300 (mp3 enabled) radio's made by GRUNDIG and will say RCD 300 MP3 on the back?

The Mp3 unit has MP3 above the CD slot from what I remember (or is that he RCD500)....easy to spot. :happy2:

Yet another question now guys, I still haven't found a rcd300 mp3 at a decent price yet (I'm a bit skint after paying for the car itself a few weeks ago!)
I've burnt an audio CD and plays fine in the RCD300 however at the end of the last track, it just goes into a crazy mode and cannot seem to loop back to track 1, did I just simply burnt the CD wrong or is there some kind of trick to it?
Any suggestions guys? Many thanks!!
-
How long is the last track?
-
Not that long, 3 or 4 mins? It was a Rihanna song, I just put a load of songs from the missus's laptop onto the disc.
once the song finished playing, the track numbers then flickers between 20 (the last track) to numbers in the 30's, and this just goes on and on... until I turn to knob on the right to skip to track 1. Thanks
-
Could be a corrupt burn
Try a different last track and burn slower
-
Thanks Alex, will give that a go... It's good to know that non GTI member is welcomed here too. By the way I have a 2005 1.6FSI sport

Always burn discs using good quality media and the slowest burn speed.
