GUIDE - How to update the system firmware of RCD 330/340/360 units

[@coolnut992000]

Hi , I hv a 6RD035187B , software ver. 5711. wrt. to crono order, does it mean 5711 is latest version than 5614 or 5532 ? Can you suggest if should go for 5614 or 5532 ?

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Prakash, sorry I missed your message. That’s right. 5711 would be the latest. 5532 works best. Honestly no discernible difference between 5532 and 5714. 🙂

[@Tiimetjeeh]

Thank you Ganesh! This tutorial was really helpful! 😁

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Tim, glad to hear that. 🙂👍🏻

[@arivindmanogaran3746]

hi bro. i have rcd330g and i cant use the mirror link. anything i can do for that or maybe get a dongle to support android auto / car play ? or retrofitting ? will it work ? thanks a lot for your feedback.

[@GaneshBalan]

Sorry about the late response Arivind. Your phone should support MirrorLink. Not all phones are compatible. Please check if your phone is listed here - mirrorlink.com/phones A wireless CarPlay dongle is available but it is very expensive and working is also hazy - it is not very seamless like a wired system.

[@JoseRivera-vr9kk]

Thank you for this video, Ganesh. I have the same "187B" so even though I have the 5614 version in mine I don't see a reason to change it. I'm having some "Bluetooth" connection issues, but I don't think that changing to 5532 will help. Thanks again.

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Jose, do you have the BT issues with a different phone? Have you checked that? Sometimes a silly disconnection and re-connection helps.

[@rishisachde]

Why don't you want the 5614 version? It says it's got the new logo and few bug fixes.

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Rishi, honestly I wouldn’t mind the latest update. Just stuck to an older, stable one. :) The problem with latest updates is we become beta testers. :/

Hi Ganesh, I recently replaced my RCD510 with VW OEM RCD330 and it works so much better than the RCD510. Sound quality is 100% improvement. The sticker says: 6RR.035.187. HW:559, Software: 5538. Unfortunately FADER function for front & back adjustment is no longer available and music only coming from my 2x front speakers. QUESTION: a) will firmware update resolve this? b) which version should I install?. Thanks for your input

I have a Vento and currently the Park Pilot and Reverse cam have the imagery of the Vento’s boot. And I wouldn’t want that to change :) Apologies for asking too many questions. Thanks for the prompt response!

[@GaneshBalan]

Sorry man, to my untrained ears I couldn’t feel any discernible difference to the SQ. I don’t exactly recall if the type of car changes upon upgrading the firmware but even if it does you can change it back. Not a biggie.

Hi Jitu, unfortunately Mirrorlink consortium is supported only by limited companies and their devices. OnePlus isn’t a part of it and Apple definitely isn’t. It has become more of an obsolete standard now and Android Auto and CarPlay has replaced it. You’ll have to upgrade your head unit or buy an older device that supports it.

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Wangchuk, haven’t received any images from you. Regardless, your 2011 Superb would have the Bolero sound system. It is not possible to upgrade the firmware by the users themselves. If you have issues with the sound, suggest taking the unit out and doing the diagnostics. If your unit was working fine all this while, the firmware wouldn’t have caused sound to go off.

[@GaneshBalan]

Please don’t do an update just for the heck of it. It can break the device some times. If your head unit is working fine as of now, continue with it. No update is going to magically transform the unit to give a better sound output or enable wireless android auto or CarPlay. 🙂

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi, as per the Reddit firmware update link (www.reddit.com/r/RCD_330/s/sFxgQZHzej), 5532 has been reported to have good audio quality. Have you tried resetting the unit by long pressing the power button? Try removing your phone from the list of devices and add it anew. Try with a different smartphone to rule out issues specific to the phone.

@@GaneshBalan hi gannu, I bought it from a seller. Problem is it has 4 phones in the Bluetooth paired list which the previous owner had used and I can't delete it from the list. If I delete it it will go but after switching it off and on it after sometime these 4 phones reappear in the list. And if I try to connect my phones I'll need to pair mine every single time after switching it on. My phone is not saved in the list. But these 4 phones of the older user somehow reappear even after deleting it. I even tried resetting to factory settings. The List doesn't reappear right after switching it off.. it takes some time. So can I reinstall the same software? If 5532 has good audio output
