The BEST Head Unit Upgrade With Apple CarPlay For A MK5|MK6 VW! RCD 330!

[@2002eew]

HE DID IT. He did it. I commented like a year ago, and he replied. You got it bro! Hope you love it!

[@DArias]

It’s been an awesome upgrade so far! No complaints about it man !

[@willieleach6522]

Very popular upgrade with great results. Recommend this to anyone who wants carplay

[@DArias]

Been loving it so far. Can’t beat it for the price!

[@austinlong1397]

How much did you pay?

[@Justlivingdaytoday]

That's not a 330 that looks like the newer 360 pro model .... I can tell by the location of the mic it's now located near the SD card slot where it use to occupy the scan button location.

[@jakelong5217]

Didn’t realize how easy the mk6 is to do this. Older vw you have to take apart half the unit to pull the radio

[@DArias]

Yeah the mk5 for example you’d have to dissemble the entire top of the dash around the head unit to pull it out lol

[@alextran8188]

In a way that's better cause it's harder to steal it someone was to break in

[@luisattack]

Definitely would definitely consider this for my mk7 having Apple car play would be amazing

[@DArias]

Apple CarPlay is def a luxury to have I can’t lie haha

[@hoffa2586]

Out of stock and much more expensive now! Great video thanks I’ll try and find it elsewhere.

[@DArias]

I hope you can man! Great unit tbh, I hope you’re able to find a better deal and in stock

[@mikeh.9954]

Great info! I need to do this on our 2011 VW GTI. Any vids on the rear tweeters in the VW GTI? I need to replace those too.

[@marykenny6886]

I was told by VW that I needed to replace my radio. Currently my display panel will just shut off for a few seconds and then come back on. I wonder if this would fix? VW dealership wants almost $1300 to fix.

[@DArias]

It’s possible it will fix it if it’s the actual head unit that has an issue but let’s say your issue is a wiring or short for example this will experience the same problems. If they tell you for sure the head unit is the problem then this will work without issues but you need to know

[@marykenny6886]

@@DArias I will try and get clarification from VW. They said it was the radio not sure may be the glove box unit? Thanks for your video upgrade looks great.

[@TechnicaX]

You won’t get a copyright strike. Only a claim. Or just play copyright free music. I don’t know why KZbinrs are so scared when there are thousands of free songs

[@DArias]

You’re right about that 100% lol should have just done copyright free didn’t think of it on the spot at the time

[@radioa3sthetic]

LoL right I was like huhh

[@shansalesman10]

I thought about upgrading mine to an VW aftermarket that already has wireless android auto, and or google maps. The only reason I haven't done it is because I don't know if my backup camera will still function.

[@DArias]

People have told me they’ve had no issues with the backup camera working with the new head unit but I can’t testify to that as my wagon doesn’t have a back up camera

[@arkone94]

When you listing music and radio, then I come up audio information on the cluster? Thank in advance

[@karimnusan9346]

Will my aftermarket AHD camera work with this unit?

[@amritpalsidhu6454]

You know what was the old radio is called ? That you had already in . I want to play navigation on inbuilt vw screen .

[@msm870]

What plate is your car ? I saw online that if the car is older than 2010 it could cause battery drainage

[@DArias]

I know 2 people same head unit 1 is a 2009 jetta and the other a 2008 gti and they’ve never had battery drain issues. I’m assuming it’s from either installation error or another issue. But can’t say 100% but I haven’t heard of any battery issues with this setup

[@msm870]

Where did you buy it from ?

[@LarsSchretlen]

Do you have still the car controll options like tps reset. The only way for to reset my tire pressure and save it is by my radio I don’t have separate button for it. I have VW polo 2015

[@joecarpenter51]

hey! i’m seeing this video and i’m wondering if the steering wheel controls work with the head unit, does volume and song skip work?

[@crabbyjimmy1]

I got the 360 and I couldn’t go past 3/4 volume and it would start going high and low fading out. I returned it.

[@jakethompson5701]

The one I got for my 2014 vw jetta premium it isn’t adding up there’s a red wire hanging out and I hook everything else up and it doesn’t have sound I don’t understand

[@EdmondsBilly]

Great install guide, thanks. Do you ha e any issue with the radio not turning off when the car is turned off ?

[@DArias]

Thanks man! And never had an issue with the unit staying on or draining battery

[@ploidemedia]

Doesn't this mess up your cars MIC when making calls? Ie, it won't use the cars MIC and makes poor quality phone calls as a result? Also, don't you need a specific version of this unit depending on if you have a reverse camera or not? Thanks for the vid!

[@petercarter7235]

What about MK6 VW with the Fender premium stock stereo system?

[@DArias]

Should work without a problem

[@newwebkinzjava]

Do you know if it's possible to get the unit to work with a backup camera at all? We have a 2015 Jetta with a backup camera and all I've seen is that if you replace the head unit like this the rear view camera doesn't work anymore.

[@mitchellhaid7779]

Still trying to figure out the backup camera, what I know is that you need to buy an adaptor and plug it to unit and also to the rear tail lights, but the adaptor is sold out everywhere and the only ones you can get are rom China, and sometimes they do not work. Ppl sometimes buy 4 adaptors until they find one that works, but what I do know is that you cannot connect it to the cigarette lighter or the yellow and red cords together, but have to send a wire through your whole car!

[@prithvirajgd787]

Hi quick question Will this work for Mk6 Jetta ? Thank you in advance

[@DArias]

Yes it will!

[@theiqclan356]

Hey man thank you for the video, one question. Does the Headunit work with the park pilot as well?

[@DArias]

Anytime! And tbh that’s a first for me that I’m not 100% sure. I know the head unit works flawlessly with the back up cameras and different Audio systems but the park pilot not sure. Hopefully someone can chime in

[@petergifford428]

Just have your channel. Great content. I have a 2011 golf TDI and I think this will be in the works. How does the CarPlay perform? No issues with connections with the wire? Functions like an oem carplay?

[@DArias]

Glad you’re here! Thank you! Yes the CarPlay works great and tbh just as good and quick as the CarPlay on my s3 no issues what so ever. I love the Rcd330 so far

[@elkellenhabla]

How do you like it? Is the screen too lose for navigation?

[@DArias]

It’s a great unit that functions well! It’s a nice improvement over the stock screen imo and having CarPlay is just the icing on top

[@elkellenhabla]

@@DArias oops, meant to say “too low.” Thanks for the response!

[@sotirisnikolaidis4835]

is it a great option for my 2013 new beetle? or the eonon q53 pro ?

[@tiggersmith7393]

Great video my Golf MK6 has parking sonic detector display on the screen when in reverse with the original unit, will I loose that?

[@DArias]

Thanks! And tbh I’m not sure 100% people have told me they’ve gotten their backup cameras and sensors etc to work with the unit without an issue but I don’t want to guarantee it since my wagon has neither option

[@Nicholasjames1234]

Does the dash still show what song is playing and function normally with phone controls etc?

[@DArias]

Everything functions normally

[@arkone94]

Hi I have contacted on ur Instagram mate thanks

[@XantoS771]

Will this cause battery drain issues? My Golf was made in November of 2005...do I need a CANBUS gateway adapter? To prevent the battery drain?

[@jaerbenjamin]

And does it work with your backup camera and parking assit??

[@DArias]

I don’t have a backup camera in mine but have been told that backup camera works with no problem but I have no idea about the parking assist

[@johnathonsaldana401]

Do u still have the original head unit

[@coriejefferson5923]

Still holding up?

[@crabbyjimmy1]

I have a 14’ Jetta sports wagon TDI with the same radio you pulled but your link to Amazon says it doesn’t fit.

[@jeromegabriel1256]

What if you have dynaudio system and rear back camera. Does it work too?

[@TheMauf]

What about my 2015 Golf TDI SE which I think is a Mk VII?

[@gssd124]

What’s the brand and where can I order this? I love the comments and great reviews any problems so far?

[@hypoluxa]

Do you know the name type of wire adapter for the radio? (white tipped one) Mine didn’t come with it, so I need to order it.

[@inc55]

does the backup camera still work?

[@DArias]

I didn’t have a back up cam but know multiple people who have wired their backup cam to this unit without issues

[@cesarjulioguzmangonzalez87]

Does the phone has to be connected every time if I want to use the CarPlay mode?

I was wondering, could this work with my Jetta 2015, I got a rear camera and steering wheel controls

[@biosskw]

Does it support the oem backup camera?

[@octaviomartinez3131]

Can i isntall this on a 2008 vw wagon passat

[@DArias]

If I’m not mistaken it should work

[@CRFHONDARIDER100]

Does the backup camera still work?

[@DArias]

It should still work if it’s the oem back up camera. If it’s aftermarket you’ll have to wire it to the wire differently

[@westcoastsingletrack7854]

Any problems with it drawing power while off? Does it work with the steering wheel buttons?

[@DArias]

I haven’t experienced nor do I know someone who experience parasitic draws while off. Buttons work like oem no issues at all!

[@Srmisterio27]

Can you control the radio with the steering wheel? It's the radio compatible with dynaudio in a mk6?

[@jimbz20]

I’ve seen descriptions where some head units won’t work with the fender audio system. Do you know if it will? Is there anything on this for satellite radio? How would you “make it work” for the backup camera?

[@beatsbyjc]

Do you know if this works with GTI back up camera?

[@DArias]

It should work without an issue. Many individuals have confirmed to me that the backup cameras work with no issue

[@EVOBOY0008]

Doe the reverse camera work with no problem

[@riley_olds]

does this effect the back up camera at all

[@mikehutton4883]

[@Dennis98729]

Do we have some info on this? I want to buy this stereo but i want my original backup camera to work

[@amarkovacevic9587]

Does the phone have to be connected via the usb all the time to use apple car play. I want to get it but I want it to be wireless? Looking forward to your answer

[@umamaheshnallapati6053]

He broke the clips 🤣 but no big deal. I broke mine too. It’s easy to install. Awesome upgrade.

[@DArias]

Yeah didn’t even realize the bottom 2 popped off at the time lol super sensitive. Luckily a new trim isn’t too much but it’s tight! 🤷🏽‍♂️ best upgrade for the price though! Haha

[@umamaheshnallapati6053]

@@DArias ya we have put tools right under the clip so it will not stress out much and break. It’s better if you mention that in the video. For starters you did great job on the video. You don’t seem upset on the video. Usually some people don’t do well when creating the content on the KZbin.

[@DArias]

Thanks man! And yeah I actually added that piece as a side note in the comments. At that point in time I was focused on the camera making sure it wasn’t blurry etc so I didn’t seem to realize the 2 on the bottom did in fact pop off and when putting the trim back on it all snapped in perfectly so I didn’t notice either lol. Once editing I did notice and laughed. Again thank you for the kind words! KZbin is awkward sometimes talking to yourself on a camera lol

[@mrfixit454]

Saw a question about Mk7 and fender system. I assume this woukd not work? I have the "car" button on my 2015 GSW tdi and that has all the system monitors for tires. Convenience users etc.

[@horacegarcia5113]

Can you still use the steering wheel buttons with this unit?

[@DArias]

Yes they work just like oem

[@DArias]

It should still work yes

Reverse camera parking sensor screen any other missing features?

[@hypoluxa]

I have a 2014 Golf. Will this work? I'm guessing it should based on the head unit looking identical to my Golf. Edit. I went ahead and ordered this on Ebay. I've been jonesing for carplay in my Golf for some time.

[@DArias]

Yes it should work no issues man!

[@hypoluxa]

@@DArias Awesome! Figured it should, but just wanted to double check.

[@hypoluxa]

I’m really stoked to be getting this and see how easy it is to swap out

[@hypoluxa]

@@DArias Got it today and installed it! Works great! I however didn't need the extra (white tip) small cable as it didn't come with it. Apparently my model of stereo head didn't need the other wire adapter. What does that wire do anyway? The only issue I can see is that I can't seem to pick up any radio stations at the moment...

[@ugoonu5043]

how do i add bass in apple carplay?

[@The_Truth_Minority]

What about the models that have Fender audio?

[@Colonel_Newie]

Does it work with the Dynaudio premium speaker system in the MK6? The dynaudio will need a data stream connection from the head unit (bottom left if you’re looking at the back) as the amp won’t turn on without the data connection?

[@jordanfinesse6595]

Does this unit have a microphone? I want to be able to use it for calls

[@DArias]

It does have a mic yes

[@dallasmitchell3878]

Add a backup cam!

[@DArias]

I do want to!

[@ImCrackedAF]

Does this tinker with the Dynaudio system? The main thing stopping me from getting one is connectivity with dynaudio speakers

[@DArias]

I’m not 100% sure. I know people have been able to pair this head unit with all different kinds of systems but don’t want to say yes being I’m not 100% sure myself from experience
