This RCD330 from autopar is double din VW radio offers FM / AM radio reception, bluetooth calling, full-color touchscreen, SD card reading (MP3 up to 32GB), USB and bluetooth audio. This is a Volkswagen radio with bluetooth phone hands-free in one. The microphone is hidden in the front and the screen is operable touchscreen, large, in full color and clear. This radio was once intended for the foreign language market, so the menu can be set in the English language and other European languages, unfortunately not Dutch. The color of the buttons is Volkswagen red. The RCD360 Pro is an stereo which is originally only produced for cars exported to Asian countries, not UK or Europe. The beauty of this head unit is that it offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirror Link at the same price of an App Connect activation. It is compatible with most PQ 35/46 cars (details on compatibility are below). Please note these units are different than the cheaper RCD360 units with Apple CarPlay only

Remove the rubber tailgate tunnel on the tailgate side so you can see all the way through to the inside of the car. You can reach underneath the head lining and feel the hole in the ceiling which leads to this tunnel. Once you are confident where the hole is, try to thread the connector through the rubber tunnel. Key Features -Apple CarPlay / Android Auto / Mirror Link - Touchscreen display - Built in Bluetooth | Integrated microphone - AM / FM channel Apple CarPlaySD card reading error however. I understand its a formatting issue. Currently formatted as fAT and needs to be exFAT. This fixed it and the SD card is read 10 times faster than the old RCd510 did. Aside from this hitch, which took me 20 minutes to correct, the rest of the install was easy as pie. 40 minutes all up. I personally stripped the reverse wiring and wound the relay wiring around it, then used insulating tape to seal (I also did this for the relay-out to camera wiring). Once you're happy that the connections are secure, move onto the next step.

In addition to Bluetooth and Apple carplay, this device also supports standard Mirror link, but not all Android mobile phones are suitable for mirror link. Reversing sensor disply works. Bluetooth is fantastic, and audio quality is equivalent to the old 510.For this particular camera, there is a connection between the camera and the main wiring (RCA, 12v+, ground) as shown in the second attached picture. This made it slightly easier for this next step. Listen to your favourite media apps including Google Play Music, Spotify, TuneIn, and many more Audio apps. I took a slightly 'easy way out' approach here, but the wires are completely hidden so it didn't bother me. I removed the soft material underneath the glovebox (above the passenger footwell), and threaded the wire along here. Finally, there is a small gap at the bottom left-hand side of the radio slot, which gives access to the top of the footwell. Make your two hands meet, then pull the wire through to behind the radio. If you don’t have the wireless carplay unit installed, you don’t need to install it, 5532 is also a good choice for you. 5532 is free.

Do you have an iPhone and would you like to use Apple Carplay in your Volkswagen? Then this RCD330 Apple Carplay from autopar has the solution, we have a version that also includes the Apple Carplay function.

Think of Whatsapp, Waze, Flitsmeister, iOS Maps, Youtube Music, TuneIn radio, Music, Messages, Phone etc etc. To start, simply remove the trim around the existing radio. I could do this easily with my fingers starting at the top left hand side, but you may want to use a trim removal tool. Once this is done, remove the four Torx 20 screws (two each side) which will allow the radio to come out.COMPATIBLE WITH ANY RCD510, RNS315 OR RNS510 HEADUNITS, JUST GOOGLE YOUR HEADUNIT AND COMPARE IMAGES. Step 3 - Connecting the 12v+ and ground sources: For this step, I ended up connecting to the reverse bulb +ve and ground. The instructions tell you to connect to a 12v+ ignition source, but I felt this was unneccesary and needed more work. If you install the wireless carplay unit and automatically booting and firmware is 5532, you need to install 5536 firmware to solve this problem.
