I have a 2016 T6 Transporter and a round 3 years ago I fitted a Travelinlite RCD360+ headunit as the OE screen failed and started ghosting etc and the new one came with the added bonus of Andriod Auto etc.
All has been fine and dandy until just before Christmas - when we had those 3 days of fog...

...Had it a week. It's not DAB, android auto works well. Parking sensors work but it defaults to rear view camera first which you have to dismiss. Having done some research there appears to be a RCD330 forum which says that the 360 is a knock off clone and not to buy it. That's all I know currently.
I don't understand where this is coming from. RCD330 works with my T6 in every way except the reverse camera. I had to buy MQB to PQ adaptor, though. I also see other people on the forums using this combination.
Maybe this is part of the issue. But the camera plugs straight into the head unit...
That’s a really nice van but not for us.
We want a RIB bed and pop top ideally and wouldn’t have enough budget left for getting those fitted.
Thanks for sharing though 😊
Not the complete story. Its an RCD330 plus.
came to me for programming but the head unit is from a t5.1 and not recognised by his can gateway and therefore not able to be programmed.
it needs to go back into a 5.1 and then have the camera coded out.
also, the can gateway has a permanent error as...
...should need to be done. But I’m not happy with the databus signal error. I cannot clear the error unless the original headunit is refitted (rcd330). And as mentioned, when the RCD330 is connected the buttons work.
I’m going to try a new patch cable on the off chance the cable is faulty, but...
I’ve got a different version called Carlinkit 2.0 in both my Golf (RCD330) and my T6 (discover media I think).
Works great. About £65 from AliExpress. Have been using them for years.
Would also like to relocate to the glove box!
Battery drain with the RCD330 in older vehicles has been a thing. Wouldn’t have expected it in 2012. Has to do with canbus version.
There are some ways to resolve this. Might have to search beyond Transporter forums. I know the same issue affects Golfs.

Hi there
Just bought a 2016 Caravelle. There's no reversing camera, and no Apple CarPlay without paying a dealer £250+ to unlock it.
It's got the ParkPilot feature, which I want to keep. Other than that, I only use CarPlay to access Apple Music, Waze, WhatsApp and phone.
I'm looking to...
...typing on my phone
just to add the only thing I miss now is carplay, as I am more than happy with the sound. So I will be looking into whether the rcd330 has an even worse dsp or output than the composition. If that is the case then I think it would be a no go, as I feel the lc2i is on the...
Hi just brought an rcd330 from travelin lite apparently it plugs straight in . Removed the old unit it has a block plug and 3 other wires I believe 1 is dab which I know it doesn’t have then a media wire and think double joint connector fm On the back of the new unit is space for the block of...
I recently fitted a RCD330 Plus Noname 6RD 035 187B from Lemon Shark into a 2017 T6
To make it all fit I had to additionally buy a "Quadlock Adaptor For VW/SKODA Radio Plug (2015-) To 2003-2015 Transporter T6 T5" - Quadlock Adaptor For VW/SKODA Radio Plug (2015-) To 2003-2015 Transporter T6 T5...
Just bought a second Carlinkit 2.0 dongle to make CarPlay wireless in my T6 with Discovery Head Unit.
Works great in my mk5 Golf with an RCD330.
Next step is to relocate the T6 USB plug to the glove box. Has anyone done this?
