Title: Bought an RCD 510, what else do I need?
Post by: zed4 on October 09, 2014, 05:29:26 pm: Hi,

I've just bought an RCD 510 for our 2006 Golf GTI. It's to replace an RCD 500. What else will I need? Presumably a gateway, can anyone advise the correct part number for this please?

It's the DAB version, will I need a new antenna?

Finally, if I want to add an iPod input to it, and bluetooth, what part numbers will I need?

Many thanks for any help.

Dan

and this:

It looks like the only differences are that the VW kit won't work with the red highline display, and the Fiscon displays a load of other car related info on the highline, correct?
