Title: No Power To Rcd300 MP3 (HELP!)
Post by: sengh on January 22, 2013, 12:54:22 pm
Afternoon,

I recently tried to change my RCD300 mp3 with a pioneer avh3200bt using the necessary harness adaptor. The pioneer worked fine for about 20 minutes but as i was moving the headunit in to the centre console the head unit switched off. I checked the fuse on the rear of the pioneer and proceeded to check the cars fuses ( all were fine ). I then tried the original headunit to see if that worked, no power to the headunit! :sad1:

I double checked the fuses inside the dash and by the battery but all were fine. I reset the battery for half an hour, no luck! I then got a someone to diagnose it using VAGCOM but it wouldn’t read the headunit, vagcom seemed to think the headunit was unplugged  :confused:

any ideas?
