Hi there,
I installed a Noname VW RCD 330 with reverse cam into my T5.1 and all has been well for a couple of years until I took photos to sell it and would you believe it’s decided to stop working. I get the error “the camera system is not available” or something very similar.
At first I...
If it’s DAB you want, an aftermarket aerial seems to be what most agree works.
Or stream it via CarPlay / Android Auto. The VAG RCD330+ is a cheap and cheerful replacement that has CarPlay.
Forum trader @Dav-Tec may sell these and / or other OEM units, allowing you to retain PDC, sat-nav in...
Thanks. Do you think it would be doable to get one of these to run from the front USB socket of the RCD330, through the trim and then have a wireless appleplay device plugged into it in the void behind the unit?
Thanks @Dav-Tec, great suggestions. Once the RCD330 was detached the heater controls behaved themselves, so it's entirely likely it was causing the issue.
However, I also noticed a bare blue wire behind the controls/under the stereo which was chopped at some point and _could_ have been shorting...
...cable so that I can swap it with a shorter one. It sits on top of Syncwire Magnetic Phone Car Mount.
For wireless Carplay, I modified RCD330 to have a rear USB and I have connected Carlinkit 4.0 to it. Carlinkit sits next to the fuse box. Initially, I planned to wire a USB socket to one of...
...punt on a cheap eBay alternative. It does everything I expected the ottocast to do, so I'm happy with my £10 choice.
I have a T6 with the an RCD330 head unit (my OEM one failed so I had to replace with this). It has wired Android auto and CarPlay.
I am using a Pixel 7a phone with Android...
Hmm. I've definitely heard mixed reviews. But I've also seen lots of units on ebay falsely being advertised as RCD330 when actually they are RCD360 (have no 3.5 jack socket at front). Apparently RCD360 are of much lower build quality as far as I can gather.
Totally forgot I had this as I used it in my Yeti for a month before I sold it and it has been in a box since.
This is a genuine unit, so was over 300 new unlike the fake ones out there. Comes with SD slot, USB and AUX.
Looking for £175 collected from Bicester/ Oxford area and I do travel to...
...no specialist on these! Read a reddit thread which mentioned RCD360s being cobbled together from seconds/spare parts from other units, whereas RCD330 is actually OEM VW kit from China/Latin America.
No idea what to belive to be honest! I kust want a cheap, reliable unit which had carplay!
I only ever used it with the adapter. My layout etc wasn’t ideal for plugging in.
All the users on the rcd330 forums don’t report this issue but it was a deal breaker for me. I was trying to be transparent
Hi, if you are still looking I have one that I have just removed.
Fully working with latest FW installed. It is a NoName 187B like from the RCD330.com website. It has all of the necessary cables. And it has the from supplier rear USB mod.
Attached the image of the webpage so you can details...
I’ve had an RCD330 in my mk5 golf for years. Paid something like £130 at the time. I love it. Easy to fit. Looks great. Solid little unit. Would do again without a doubt.
I’ll add that you need to check your canbus. There is a known issue with battery drain with older cars. Mine was alright...
...t6 button config, not golf buttons, or adaptive etc, and all work with the original unit.
I may have been mistaken, mine has the original basic 6 button media composition unit (withoutnav) which I thought was a rcd330.
Just stock loom, later connects 2 quadlock with the two pina bottom right.
