I've installed a similar radio in my golf VI 2011 and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it wouldn't turn off when I turned off the car. You gave me the answer I've spent days scouring the internet for! Can't wait to unplug it tomorrow and see if it fixes my issue!

[@finnglenn883]

Thanks for the simplicity. Greatly appreciated.

[@crizalynbenavente6045]

Thank you!!!

I connected the same head unit to my Mk6 golf with the original adapter but no sound from the rear speakers. Any tips?

[@mrogers388]

I don’t have steering wheel controls, so would I be right in thinking that I don’t have to worry about the CANBUS issues and battery drainage?

[@richardgardiner768]

your antenna cable is a double? my vw golf is a single connection, can i still fid one of these android units to it?

[@peterrocks5949]

How did you make steering wheel controls work? I have 2 wires on android loom and doesn’t work trying to setup with canbus on unit

[@alisabbagh2751]

Bro how did you install the original reverse flip camera? And mine keeps running when the ignition is off how did you solve this Thanks in regards

[@robertmulligan5417]

Another one 🙏

[@marineboy457]

Thanks for the vid~! Do you find the audio sounds better or any different? And the screen is responsive enough?

[@danielarena6877]

Wondering the same thing, do you have an answer?

[@symbolsearcher7666]

I installed a similar system and now my obd2 port gets no connection lmk if u have the same issue go to auto zone and see if they can run ur codes

[@avishg7161]

Thanks bro! I just installed my unit and was stuck on how to get it to turn off with the ignition.

[@dustinadams4252]

Did you figure out how to get it to turn off

[@martinpittaway6567]

Hi. Did you try Apple CarPlay with this unit?

[@reihanahaggie8111]

Do the heating controls show up on the screen? And what about connector for original rear camera?

[@kurtg98]

This man is Nikola Tesla reincarnated 😳 you guys gotta hook my whip up 🙏🏼

[@jtjt8404]

Can you turn of the wifi and bluetooth to make in EMF free? 🙂

[@vahvanis]

I have front and back parking sensors which show the display on the stock stereo, will this show on the new stereo ?

[@552man]

It says that they will be retained. I just bought this head unit but has not been installed yet.

[@vahvanis]

@@552man do let me know how you get on bud, thanks

[@julios.8116]

[@dublinvids7700]

I was trying to install same stereo but power is gone, now the its not working even the older one is not working, I have sams stereo and 2008 tdi golf

[@robertmulligan5417]

I’ve heard of this happening when my mate tried to install a single din a couple years back. You might just have a blown fuse.

[@dublinvids7700]

@@robertmulligan5417 Yes i changed the fuse and it works now but have another issue, sound quality is not good, No bass, even orignal have better sound if i compare, Can you help me to fix issue ?

[@danielarena6877]

@@dublinvids7700 does it sound better than original Rcd510?

[@petrostzoganis7226]

Does the unit turn off when you remove the key?

[@DriveiTech]

Yes, you just have to ensure you unplug the black clip on the harness!

[@ninj4373]

Does steering wheel control work?

[@DriveiTech]

Yes, our Volkswagen systems all come with a Canbus allowing steering wheel functionality.

[@rctodayukshaun4817]

Did you have to do anything in the setting for the steering wheel controls to work ive got same car same stereo Ann plugged in same but no steering wheel controls working

[@Saxar99]

Does this work with the rear parking camera?

[@kiean515]

would like to know aswell, have the stock reversing camera and want to know if it works with his head unit

[@552man]

Yes there is an adapter for factory rear view camera. Not sure if is purchased separately

[@bohdanromanovich4912]
