    Hi Alex, I have a 2011 rocco which has a RCD 310 unit (I think it’s called that) which doesn’t havi a Navi or Bluetooth. Will I have the Bluetooth feature and the Navi if i buy and install it? Also does it automatically connect to bluetooth? Thanks mate, also would love to install a rear camera so can’t wait for that video :)

    • @AlexTheGrumpyOne
      @AlexTheGrumpyOne  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beware that in 2016 they changed the quuadlock adapter, you may need a harness adapter for some 2106 onward Scirocco's.
    Mine will murder the battery if turned on without the engine running after about 20 minutes.

    I just installed the 9" unit yesterday. I went to install the GPS antenna today and it had completely drained the battery. There was just enough power to open one door but that was it. It also shows the wrong door open. Open the drivers side door and it shows the passenger etc.

    • @AlexTheGrumpyOne

      @@AlexTheGrumpyOne yep I only used the cables they supplied. It was really easy to install. I just turned it off. According to the display on the unit, my battery has dropped from 12.5v to 11.8 over the last half hour. I'll keep checking it.

    • @AlexTheGrumpyOne
      @AlexTheGrumpyOne  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes keep an eye on it please. As I had the units for 4 month now and never had an issue with the battery. I think the door opening might be because units are made for Europe mainly and we obviously got right hand drive cars.
      But please keep me posted about the battery situation
