Title: Confused rcd510
Post by: TomGTI on November 14, 2012, 07:40:40 pm: I'm looking to buy a rcd510 probably without DAB but i will be getting a built in hands free Bluetooth module fitted to it but not sure which 1 I need to work with all iPhones?

I'm done some research but I still don't know

Thanks

I have the RNS and you answer by touching the screen.

Post by: TomGTI on November 15, 2012, 10:44:02 pm: This is true just wanted to know if I needed to remove it from the glove box but I hope it does still work.

Post by: brookesb32 on November 17, 2012, 10:02:23 pm: You will be able to use the iPod still, just plug it into the back of the RCD510

Oh and the Bluetooth kit on that link is ace, I have it with my rcd510 and rate is very highly

Post by: TomGTI on November 23, 2012, 06:18:59 pm: Think I'll get the Bluetooth module but may have to wait with Christmas coming up.

I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread but my RCD510 has arrived today and looks mint but is it just plug and play correct me if I'm wrong but all I need is a T20 torx screwdriver?

I've seen a vid on YouTube but it doesn't have the vent on the top of the dashboard like mine, just the tray???

I have a 08 Gti

Post by: brookesb32 on November 23, 2012, 06:52:02 pm: Yep just the torx screw driver and some trim removal tools would be handy just to not damage the plastic but not essential

For the too vent gently lift it up around the edges and it will come out leaving you with a lower tray that has the wheel for the top vent in it. There is a screw right at the back the holds this in. Remove this then left that section up to show the front facia fins where the other two screws are. The rest should be like your video :happy2:

I'll attempt it over the weekend but I only have a screw drivers to remove the panels but I suppose I'll just have to be gentle.

I used a screw driver the first couple of times - a thin blade would also work
