Title: RCD510 and retrofit aux in
Post by: jonnym on December 23, 2012, 08:04:28 pm: OK, so this is my RCD510 --->

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fn600%2Fjonmaw1%2FIMG_2106_zpsa4a67d76.jpg&hash=004be0d83e75cffc0344629c5cd5462a27ea5738)

Now I need the music on my blackberry in my life and the SD card I have at the moment simply isn't cutting it. The RCD510 was fitted when I bought the car and there is no aux input either in the glove box, centre console or in the armrest bit. So I think the RCD510 is an upgrade and my golf never actually had a aux in.

So, is my trail on thought correct? What can I do to get a aux in fitted that works with the RCD510? I'm thinking of someone to be a retrofit but before I make enquiries thought i'd ask the questions!

Forgot to say it doesn't have the sat nav, but it does have a aux touch button.

Cheers.

Excellent stuff thanks eddie and looks fairly simple. Just need to get the parts and find someone with VCDS!

Can I put the input anywhere else instead? I don't actually have an armrest - i called it that as I didn't want to say the centre thing!

Post by: Eddie-NL on December 23, 2012, 10:40:53 pm: you can install an aux in without cd changer / ipod dock / mdi

Post by: jonnym on December 23, 2012, 10:46:14 pm: So it will work with it? I take it I can still use the CD changer (ie: the install won't disable the cd unit)

Apologies for my non-technical mindedness - its not something I have much experience with!

Thank you once again!

Post by: JoeDarKa on December 24, 2012, 11:34:48 am: Can it just be a cable in the glovebox and not the thing under the armrest?

Post by: jonnym on December 24, 2012, 03:16:50 pm: ......and how much for the one I was on about? Don't need an ipod connector, just the normal 3.5mm jack input.
