That's really smart actually. Looks to work a lot better than the Sony I have in mine right now that's twice the price. Think I'll give the missus that and get this for the Caddy instead. Nice one.
@@xiolage Finally sorted. The clip at the back had an extra wee bit of plastic stopping it from opening. Checked out the old one coming out and saw that shouldn't be there so snipped it away and it plugged in nicely. Thanks for the swift reply.
Is there a part number or anything on the exta wiring that you say is steering wheel controls. I think it's a delay timer. I'm trying to get my reverse camera to work
Hi mate - I am looking at changing out my radio from my 63 plate caddy maxi - what make radio is the one you got- looks like what I am after - cheers Paul
Was the upgraded stereo supplied with the adapter or did you buy this seperately? I think i need this for my stereo upgrade but cant find the right one.
Since it doesn’t have AUX I’m guessing it’s an RCD360. It’s a VW factory stereo made for Asia (China/India) and LATAM by a number of different local manufacturers (and resold online to retrofit older VWs).
@@xiolageThanks for that, I have a 2008 mk3 - CarPlay (Android based) is very difficult to get working. Love the colour of your van and trim, mine has a very long way to go!
hi. i have a Caddy just like yours. i live here in Italy, i am planning to change my radio unit. can you write down the link on where i can buy the same radio that you replaced on your Caddy. thanks a lot in advance. take care
Looks great. But confused about the brand. If i go on ebay and search a for a RCD 360 i get results from £80 brand new to £300. What nake is the one you fitted please? Evidently the £85 ones are useless, but how do you know a good one from a bad one🤷. Cofused.
Can I ask why didn't put fuse in the back radio as I put 15 in back my riado as didn't have ten didn't change the one in fuse box so don't worry just one back radio that okay with 15 be much appreciated for your help
Yeah heard about this and the people on the owners club recommended the one we ended up buying as it works with CANBUS. Haven’t had any issues just yet. 😁
Hi mate nice upgrade! I was looking to purchase one of these but I was wondering if the reverse sensors still beep? Also does it show the close proximity zone monitor while reversing?
Yeah that’s definitely the plan. When the rear is all ripped out for sound deadening we will definitely do the same for the doors. Possibly a speaker upgrade while we’re in there. 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video mate . I bought a cheapo chinese number , ESSGOOS AR9002 . Its allegedly android 13 bit its as slow as my old man on the toilet. I am going to try and remove some of the apps maybe speed it up a little

The best upgrade for the caddy👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the video. We just installed one today…it was super easy! Appreciate it! 👍🏽
It is a good upgrade but it would be better if the radio was higher and vent knobs lower.
All great apart from the new unit already has the cables plugged into it...and the one I have straight out of the box will not fit. Any ideas?
Not sure as the unit came with the cables 🤔

I don’t recall anything, i’m pretty sure it’s labelled up steering controls

Hi Paul, this is a RCD360. 😁
Was the upgraded stereo supplied with the adapter or did you buy this seperately? I think i need this for my stereo upgrade but cant find the right one.
Yep I got everything I needed with the stereo. 😁
Hi,will this work in a 2008 caddy,can it work with steering controls and can it add dab,cheers
Yes to all of that 😎
Hi! Looks awesome and not too difficult. Thinking of doing the same thing in mine. Just wondering where you bought the radio?
I got this radio from an eBay seller in Europe. 😊
Hello mate, I fit one of these in my 2015 caddy 1.6tdi but the sound only comes out of the passenger side speakers any idea why?
Not too sure, have you got the correct adapter harness/no damaged wires?
Hi mate how much was the radio and where did you get it from
Hi mate, we got it from eBay and cost around £300. 💪🏼
Would this radio fit a 2007 caddy?
You’ll have to double check with whoever you buy it from. I’m not too sure. 😊
Hello. What’s de multimedia system model? Thanks!
RCD360
@@xiolage thanks!
Does the apps work with bluetooth
Yep
Hi mate, just got a 64 plate caddy and looking for a stereo upgrade, just wondering if you know if this supports rear cameras too
It does and will be installing one soon. 😁
@@xiolage nice one, cheers for the reply and looking forward to it
Was it a easy as you made it look? Looking at getting caddy and possibly upgrading stereo in time ? 😊
By far the easiest I’ve ever done. 😁
don´t you have problems with the battery of the car? I read some audio systems uncharge the car´s battery... It is OK on yours? thanks!
I haven’t had any issues with this unit. 😎
@@xiolage hi friend! thanks. Please can you tell me what model and brand is? best wishes from Spain
RCD360
Hi I noticed it switched on without the key in the ignition? Also is it android too? I don't have an apple phone
Hi mate, everything happens automatically and yep comes with android auto 😁
Is that an original vw one ? How much ?
It isn't, I got this off a seller on eBay. 😊
Since it doesn’t have AUX I’m guessing it’s an RCD360. It’s a VW factory stereo made for Asia (China/India) and LATAM by a number of different local manufacturers (and resold online to retrofit older VWs).
What age of Caddy did you put it into? What was the make/ model of stereo please?
This is our 2014 Caddy, RCD360. 😊

@@tamwestwater Thank you!
I’ve ordered one this evening
@@tamwestwater Hey mate I’ve also got a 2008 Caddy have you found an adaptor if so could you send me the link please and thanks.
Where did you buy it from
eBay
The rear sensor works ?
Yes
@@xiolageeven without camera ?
Yep
Does anyone know if this will fit my 2009 caddy? Can see there was some issues with battery leakage and not sure if I'd be effected?
Depending on the model you get, it seems some have that issue. This does not thankfully. 😎
what is the year of your VW caddy?
2014
What is the model for the stereo, and how much is it
RC360, If I remember correctly around £350. 😁
Where did you get the stereo from mate
eBay 😊
Can you drop a link im looking to change the unit in my touran
Here you go.😊

I'm planning to get rcd360pro for mine.
Does it charge the phone when it's connected with USB?
Thx
Thanks mate, yep it does charge which is a great feature! 😁
what is the model that you fit to the caddy? nice van by the way
Thanks mate, RCD360. 😊

Oh right, i’m not sure. Ours was a couple hundred. Not sure how to distinguish unfortunately 🤨
Ok cheers. No issues with it draining the battery constantly?
Nothing yet matey, thankfully.
Nice one. Thank you 👍
Where did you get this from?
Online seller in Belgium. 😁
@@xiolage what year is your caddy? I got a 2012 one and looking at getting one reckon it’ll fit in mine?
Yep it’ll fit. Ours is a 2014. 😁
Put 1 in mine but it is draining the battery how can i fix it?
I think it’s an issue with the unit. I’ve heard some models drain some don’t 🤷🏼♂️
so the radio turning on without you even putting the key in means it's probably gon drain your battery right?
We've had no issues yet, radio now turns off and on with the ignition. 💪🏼
should the 10 AMP fuse be put back into the NEW one?
Not had any issues yet?
Can I ask why didn't put fuse in the back radio as I put 15 in back my riado as didn't have ten didn't change the one in fuse box so don't worry just one back radio that okay with 15 be much appreciated for your help
Wow, you whipped that stereo out quickly. I guess you had a misspent youth then buddy 🤣🤣🤣
I was so shocked, couldn’t believe it was that easy after how awful the Focus is. 😂😁
Watch it don't drain you battery I bought one and was on standby it didn't turn off with the key
Yeah heard about this and the people on the owners club recommended the one we ended up buying as it works with CANBUS. Haven’t had any issues just yet. 😁
@@xiolage yh I sent mine back, you got me looking again for one 😄
Haha yeah I’d definitely recommend this one if you’re in the market again. 🙏🏼
@@xiolage who supplied it? I had a extrons one
I’ve had XTRONS units in the passed for the Focus and never gelled with it. This one is called RCD360 and all the owners recommend it. 😊
This looks class! i'm getting a caddy next year - which radio did you get?
RCD360. 😊
Rcd360
Hi mate nice upgrade! I was looking to purchase one of these but I was wondering if the reverse sensors still beep? Also does it show the close proximity zone monitor while reversing?
Yep everything works and you do get the option for reverse camera or proximity zone monitoring. 😁
Found out I had to buy the reverse camera deactivated version to use the parking pilot but no issues otherwise. Thanks for your help!
Hi have you got the name model etc please I have a 2011 vw caddy van.thanks
Where was this media unit bought from and for how much?
I noticed that it turned on without the ignition on, does this mean that it is on/running when the car is off?
I can confirm it turns off when the key is removed from the ignition. 😊
@@xiolageThank you 😊
Did you have bother with battery being drained. I done mine but never earthed it and looked like you didn't too
I think the cheaper versions of these have issues with the battery, this one hasn’t. 😊
I read the battery drain is only on earlier mk3s
damn radio did not work on my Caddy mk4 2017 🥲
Oh no!
Can you tell me where you got this please, also after a few months are you still happy?
I got this off an eBay seller in Europe. Still happy to this day. Best thing we’ve done. 😊
Almost TOOOOO easy.
Doesn't feel like a victory unless you at least have bleeding knuckles
I’ve had enough bleeding knuckles with the Focus, this feels like a reward. 😁😂
Whack some components in the doors, smidge of sound deadening.
All good.
Yeah that’s definitely the plan. When the rear is all ripped out for sound deadening we will definitely do the same for the doors. Possibly a speaker upgrade while we’re in there. 🙏🏼
VW Caddy is the best 🫳🏽🫳🏽
I have the same one 🤜🤛
On which car please ?
Imagine it going into limp mode ;)
Imagine 💀
Can you add dab to it
I’m not too sure, a bit of research suggests you can with some extra hardware. 😊
Thanks for the video mate . I bought a cheapo chinese number , ESSGOOS AR9002 . Its allegedly android 13 bit its as slow as my old man on the toilet.
