How do I know if it's original?
I've ordered the Radio and now I'm not sure if it's OEM - how do I figure this out? The online shop doesn't give a clear info but says OEM-style, which makes me suspicious.

Hi everyone, I was wondering about this RCD 330. I wanted to know if you think it's original and if I can connect it to the original camera on my 2012 Tiguan. The camera is the one with the lines that move with the steering wheel. Do you also have instructions on which components to purchase and how to connect them? Thanks.

Just installed a 187b unit with rear usb into my Polo MK5 6R, as it is a 2011 model i thought it wouldn’t have any battery drain issue but i left it overnight and it has likely drained my battery to the point where the power steering wouldn’t even work.
To check if the radio was on even without ignition, i have put in the wireless CarPlay adapter and it was constantly receiving power. I have now put the old radio back in as a control to make sure that it was 100% the radio’s fault.
It seems like i need a CANBUS emulator, but i’m not paying $44 for one from rcd330.com
Can anyone recommend any other similar products that would do the same job? Or even another solution? Fitting a new CANBUS would be just too much of a hassle.
Thanks

Hello, I know this is an RCD330 subreddit, but I have a few questions about a different multimedia unit. Maybe some of you have experience with this.
I have a chance to get the unit shown in the picture for $200. It will be removed from a 2018 VW Sharan. I’m wondering if I’ll have any issues installing it in a 2011 Golf 6. My main concerns are:
Component Protection – Will this be a problem? How difficult is it to resolve, and is it worth it?
I have OEM Bluetooth and a roof-mounted microphone—will those still work?
I have a multifunction (MF) steering wheel—will it still work?
Will the parking sensors and Climatronic display continue to function?
What about wiring—what do I need to install it in a Golf 6? Is it plug-and-play?
Will I need to change any modules?
Thanks in advance!

2010 GTI Backup Camera Retrofit w/ RCD 330
Hey, I made a post a few days ago about finding a genuine RCD 330, and someone suggested EuroWerks. I think the post is dead by now, but does anyone know if they also have backup cameras suitable for a 2010 GTI on their store? Thanks in advance!

So, a friend has bought a flip up revers camera for me locally but i cant seem to figure out why it doesnt want to work, i've wired it up into the fuse box to a constant 12v, grounded it next to the fuse box, connected it up to the headunit using the provided RCA adapter, wired in the trigger to the reverse light but i still cant get any picture, the camera itself flips out as soon as you put it in reverse but after a few seconds the message appears on the headunit, i have no clue what this little box is for but i've wired it in as well like it said but still no luck, tried resetting the unit multiple times, unplugged and replugged all the connections multiple times but still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you 😄

Hi there, I just bought a second hand VW Polo from April 2015 ... Vendor proposed to change the default Radio / Media module by another one compatible for Carplay and Andoird auto, what we did.
What I see now ...
- I have no radio (it makes like if there was no antenna connected.
- When rear, I hear the bips of the radars, but there is no "representation" of the car with the radars on the screen, it says "Not available", where I THINK with the original module it was showned.
Anyone has an idea if this is "Normal", if with original module it was showned (and for the radio I am sure radio was working) ?
On top, the only possible languages are Deutch and English US (No French) - I am located in Brussels (French speaking.
I am also wondering if the car data is correct (km since last fueling, etc ...
I am really not convinced. Do you recognize that kind of device ?
Many Thanks !!

This is my first post here, but basically I’m looking into a CarPlay retrofit for my Mk. 6 GTI. From what I’ve read, I’d only want a plain old RCD330 and probably from AliExpress. I’ll also probably be throwing in a backup camera, in case there’s anything I should know about there. My main issue is that I’m paranoid about buying a junk one online, so if someone could tell me of a reputable seller that would be great. Thanks!

Hi all, I recently bought an RCD 360 plus with a rear view camera for a 2019 vw caddy. Installed the RCD myself which works fine and let a garage install the camera yesterday. They installed it, but the camera isn’t working. “Rear view mode is currently unavailable” appears on the screen when the car is put in reverse. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I’ll add some pictures. Thanks!
