Hi
If you upgrade to the RCD310 or newer type vw radios you will need a new CAN Gateway

do you have Vag-com?

if not what is your location?

Hi
I'm in Great Yarmouth and have Vag-com and do retrofits. I changed someones gateway only yesterday. I also am able to get hold of some for less than what the dealer charges.

Hi so how much does it cost for you to change the gateway so the car will work with rcd 310 and will the ipod system work with as well.
