After putting in the RCD330 and the rear view camera I have to say this was a good choice. I have had the headunit and the camera for months. Great video, it was enough to convince me that I am too lazy to do it myself. So I had it installed a week ago. I very quickly decided that it needed a subwoofer but I didn't want to spend a fortune and I just want a nice full sound, not the crazy head pounding bass that rattles everything within 500 yds. Add a 10in powered subwoofer, Rockford Fosgate. 309 at Crutchfield, turned out to be the perfect addition to the system. Now sound is fantastic with good recordings. Thanks again Matt.

[@turnickup]

is there an output for subwoofer?

[@IzzYChannel]

@@turnickup from what I know there’s not. You need a line converter… basically picking up the signal from the rear speakers. Look up a LC2i. Maybe if @Lary will see this message is gonna help us both with figuring this out.

[@Vertex.]

Do you have aftermarket door speakers aswell?

[@82dupont]

You got an increase in subscribers because you are real and honest about the VW you drive. Keep it up and you will continue to increase in numbers.

[@Matt_Pie]

Might be true I also want to branch out to other video types too we will see how tht goes

[@82dupont]

@@Matt_Pie ….You also get straight to the point, no story telling about irrelevant information that has nothing to do with video.

[@jordanfinesse6595]

Just placed an order I’ll let y’all know how it goes. I will say the seller was extremely helpful and guided me in the right direction.

[@jordanfinesse6595]

Just installed the jawn, shipping was pretty quick at 10 days and the unit works great. I do wish I purchased the one with a usb in the rear but that’s just a little thing. Overall 10/10 would recommend. Thanks Matt

[@Pierre-so7xu]

@@jordanfinesse6595 how’s it holding up 5 months later? any issues?

[@jeremypopolis2934]

Thanks Matt - I just recently purchased an MK6 Jetta SE and was struggling to find which CarPlay radio I should buy. I just messaged the gentleman from China and hope to place an order soon. Keep up the great content!

[@larrymcgrath]

Thanks Matt, great info. I contacted the gentleman in China and have ordered same thing you have. Saved me so much time. Thanks again.

[@Matt_Pie]

Glad I could help!

[@Simon67316]

I think these radio's are original spec and are removed from cars imported into China as I think they have an alternative they put in that suits their own country and language better. So as I understand it they should be OEM and brand new. This is not fact but what I think from things I've read.

[@gpierce6403]

Awesome, thank you for the tips. I’ve been struggling to find what radio will work.

[@mirzamahmutovic2645]

Thx for the info, not to many out there that you can understand

[@dastimRETRO]

Congrats on growing to 900! I’m certain you’ll be well over 100k in no time! 😁 And thanks for this upload, I’m looking for something to replace my current head unit. For whatever reason the voice command freezes the entire radio causing it to drain the battery. 😂💀💀💀 Going to look into this, thanks so much!

[@Matt_Pie]

I dont know about 100k lol, but np man!

[@benkiist8218]

Yet again, someone making VW cars better than VW could in the first place lol

Hi Matt. Thank you for the very helpful video and info. The Chinese guy's eBay profile does not seem to be there anymore, as I clicked the link you provided and it says "this user was not found". Any idea where I can find him now? I would love to install this radio in my 2017 Volkswagen CC.

[@MrJess-el8ku]

Found it?? Already. 😮

[@abdithehedgehog97]

[@dakotah6255]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@kaijchen5894]

@@dakotah6255 lol thx for reply, I gave up long a go and use a bluetooth module instead

[@scamps5205]

Can you make a video on how to install that usb port and wire it to the unit?

[@nitinpaul7878]

Same question

[@bindaegari1660]

You connect it to the back of the RCD330 and drop the USB down towards the gear stick. Remove the trim around the gear stick and lift it up. Pop up one of the squares and insert the new USB.

[@michaelconte3694]

How is the brightness at night? can it be controlled with the dimmer switch on the car's dashboard?

[@noahguarriello3832]

I'm Looking to order one of these for my TDI but the like to the sellers eBay store is non existent. Any shot you would be able to track that down??

[@vasileseicaru8740]

I have the same model on my Seat Leon MK2 (2011), same buttons, same dials, same USB, aux and SD ports. Previous owner had it installed but couldn't provide any technical information, aside from the fact that it was repurposed from a Golf 6. It even has the VW logo at startup. I was under the impression that this was OEM for VW vehicles, as in you could buy a VW from the dealer with this option installed. Anyway, to get to my question: am I right to assume that this unit does not have a dedicated jack input for a backup camera? and that you need to add the camera connectors to the bulk of connectors that pugs into the back of this unit

[@justinford8996]

Great vid. Can i have libk for my Caddy 2011 model please

[@georgepilat]

Great video! I'm getting the same things for my MK6 GTI very soon. How's the sound quality and RVC quality?

[@Matt_Pie]

Camera quality is alright not the best the sound quality is much better

[@felixkremer7773]

Nice steering wheel looks clean👌🏼 Did you do it yourself?

[@Matt_Pie]

Yes I wrapped it myself, thank you

[@Rawlifebenefit801]

What harness did you use I’m having the hardest time finding the right one!

[@Juan-un4qr]

Sadly i went with an rcd330 and since i have the dynaudio sound system it would get staticky.

[@echomatics2715]

I also have the Dynaudio sound system and have no idea how we upgrade to an “OEM” CarPlay system 😫😭

[@luiscervantes4903]

How accurate is the back up camera?

[@danielpeterrobertson3640]

Hi Matt I drive a 2013 VW Jetta TDI Highline Sedan fitted with a RCD340G OEM radio and an aftermarket PDC system installed. The problem I experience is the radio not allowing for the PDC and rear view camera to display at the same time because both make use of the same channel. So I have to eliminate either the camera or PDC to display. Supposedly this happens because the PDC is not factory fitted. I suppose to make this work I need to install a factory fitted Pdc which cost a lot of money. Are you aware of some adapter or harness that might solve the problem or do you have any other recommendations?

[@gambelly]

Is your reverse camera OEM? I have the 2010 Golf R and want to upgrade my head unit to this but it needs to work with the steering wheel controls and the OEM camera. Does it all work perfectly?

[@zmaangooyt1975]

Hi,mate nice video,can u tell me how did u put an usb port down where is the shifter because i didnt like it up in the radio because didnt looks realy oem.Thanks !!

[@marcmckenzie4100]

It looks like a USB port on the newly installed unit. Can that USB input be used, instead of what you showed/use, lower on your console?

[@larsk7708]

You sounds like chrisfix 😆

[@DBarnes1204]

Nice video man. How did you connect the USB port to the head unit to work with CarPlay??

[@Matt_Pie]

it comes with a cord that plugs into the rear of the head unit

[@kaijchen5894]
