would buy if it had a cd player
Oh, old school. I still have CD players in my Subarus
@@HarrodsGarage nice. Sometimes combination of old and new tech would be nice
I bought the same system but my wheel controls don’t work did I do something wrong?
I had two different plugs on my harness for the wheel control. Did you?
Is that compatible with GTI mk5 2006?
Yeah should be
Would it mess my car up if I just plug and go I have a vw 2007 Jetta?
Should be fine. It said it fits a 2006-2010 Jetta
What was the stereo you installed? Looks great, but where do I purchase what model?
It was an rcd330 I believe. Just Google search it to get the closest one to you
Will this work with a 2008 vw rabbit
Yeah same thing
Did you find out what that sensor was on top of the Dashboard that You unplugged?
In the beginning of the video.
Sorry, I can’t remember
Can I find one to my MK5 Golf 2006 1.9?
You should be able to
Do i need an antena adapter,i plugged one in and its working good,whats the other one for?
Steering control. Not too sure
Long time but.
Does it work with the cars original "hands free"? if you know what i mean
Yes it does.
For real? so i can connect my phone to the cars original hands free (from the steering wheel) and it will use the new headunit?
Yes. My Mrs uses it everyday calling us on her way home from work
Nice. Does it show what song you play on the MFD then?
Sorry for the spam ;)
Not sure as her mk5 GT doesn’t have that option to begin with
Is that a mk6 radio?
I’m not sure what it was out of. Rcd330 is the model though
How much it costs and where to find it
Link is in the description of this video
nice video , i installed the unit in my daughters mk 5 gt 1.4 tsi twin charge .
I'm
trying to fit a camera to the unit / can you do a video on the camera install, as I'm not sure how to wire the feed to the head unit
cheers,
That’s awesome that the video helped you out. Unfortunately I don’t have the golf anymore. We sold it over a year ago now. I’m sure there will be a video out there that shows it. Appreciate the view and comment.
I have the 06 gti with 6 disk cd changer equipped from factory if I do this mod can I use my cd changer with new radio I'm asking
Sorry I’m not sure. Don’t know why you would want to keep a cd changer from 14 years ago. Just download your music. The quality will be better anyway
Got this unit working ok except for the phone. Mostly doesn't" work. Are there any settings I need to adjust to get the phone(iPhone 12 Pro) working?
I’m not sure with the iPhone 12 Pro. I know we had trouble when we got new iPhones. Fixed itself after an update but also the Mrs connects her via a cable and not Bluetooth so she can charge it
I have a old jetta 2008 and stereo always says 02 safe and is stucked on it
What should i do to fix it ?
I’m not sure. Have you tried google
Is the new one rcd 330 and does the phone button on steering wheel work thanks
Haha I’m not sure. It’s the Mrs car. I’ll check later today
Yeah mate it works. 👌🏼
Hi, I have a VW Golf 2005, but my car doesn't have parking sensors, And with the rcd360 you will get a parking pilot. So will it always peep even if I install a reverse camera?
Hope you can help me :)
Hmm not sure. I’m sure there would be an option to turn it off. Camera and sensors normally run separately, I’m pretty sure don’t hold me to that though
@@HarrodsGarage I see, but do you have parking sensors on your car. And does it have a constant beep? Because the sellers on AliExpress will not reply to me, and I am stuck..
@@mohammedghazwanalmilhim7879 sorry we don't have parking sensors
Does this work on a Jetta 2.5
What year?

Kebron Mesfin thanks for pointing that out though. The top doesn’t sit right. I thought my mrs just pushed it down
Hi mate installed my radio upgraded with a polo TSI OEM radio but now I have a challenge with rear speakers not working and steering controls to lower or up the volume these do not work, any idea as to what to do in order to get it function to its full working condition
You got the radio out of a polo and put it in what? Does it have rear speakers in the car it came out of?
Hey, from which year is ur car? I want to do the same as u but I have a golf 5 from 2006 and I’m not quite sure if I need any adapters
It’s a 2007
@@HarrodsGarage thanks for ur fast reply I’ve heard that the vw golf needs a special gateway otherwise the battery of the car runs out quickly. Did u had this problem or did u used a gateway?
@@janinajanina8067 didn't have to use any gateway and they battery has been fine
Hey. I have golf 5 2007 and after removed 4 radio screws I still could not remove my radio. Do you know what could bet the problem?
Not sure. Maybe go around brackets on the side and try prying it off. Maybe it’s just stuck from heat over the years. Just a little bit of force.
Still no issues with battery up until now?
None whatsoever
@@HarrodsGarage what year is the vehicle?
2007
do i need a canbus gateway to instal rcd330 on golf mk5 1.9TDI ?
Looking at this head unit for my 2005 mk5 GTI but i'm concerned about battery drain
I didn’t have an issue with our battery until late last year, I tested the head unit circuit for a parasitic drain and it was the head unit. You will find in the comments of this video people saying you need to upgrade the CAN on it.
@@HarrodsGarage I know some of the RCD330 head units come with the CAN for steering controls and this needs to be used :)
Hi any idea how to fix the radio lights turning on when you turn on the headlights doesn’t seem to be working for me can’t find anything on TH-cam for a fix. Thanks
Pretty sure that’s what’s meant to happen, so you can see it at night. Or the lights aren’t turning on when you turn your headlights on?
I have a problem. When I try to pull the radio out (the stock one) it doesn't come out. I Pulled out the 4 T20 Torx that's holding it yet it doesn't come out. If anyone knows a fix to this please help.
Sorry I’m not too sure, I did this years ago and we don’t have this car anymore. I believe there’s one at the top, if I remember correctly
@@HarrodsGarage first one at the top then 2 on the sides for the top part to come out, then the 2 for the plastic (for the radio, climatronic etc.) and the 4 ones for the radio. But it doesn't come out when i pull on it
Where did u get the antenna adapter for the brown and white wire
It came with it
Hey mate, did you have any problems with head unit not switching off when keys out of ignition
Nope. But you can turn it on without the key in
Please help I have 06 jetta it only comes with one of those twins wires for radio.Secondly I can't find the bluetooth option on rcd 510 pulled out of a 14 tiguan
Sorry I haven’t used or installed a rcd510. Have a search on TH-cam, I’m sure you’ll find it.
What radio is it?
Rcd330, link is in the description
Batteri leer was mache ich
Have it TH-cam?
?
@@HarrodsGarage can you se TH-cam on it?
Ahh no it doesn’t have TH-cam
Thanks for this vid - very helpful! Just one question: where did you get the adapter so the new stereo could plug into the mk5 plug at the back?
The unit I bought came with it
Hello mate ,
Can ya refer something for my golf mk5 2003 ?
🙌🏻
Isn’t a 2003 a mk4
Harrods Garage here in the Europe no! Golf 5 was released in the end of 2003 !
Auro Chandru ahh didn’t know that. I’m sure this would rcd330 would work. Probably just need that adaptor that everyone in the comments keeps talking about.
does the bottom in the steering wheel work phone cut and answers calls ,
I’m not sure, I haven’t used it. I can test it out for you
canyou test it and tell me ,??
@@HarrodsGarage I was thinking the same thing, does it work? great video btw thanks
Can I run an amplifier to it for my sub woofer and top end speakers??
I don’t believe you can just plug straight in. You would have to use line converters to get RCAs for amps.
Can I ask you? Where did you bought the rádio. I have samé car and I cant find thi rádio.
It was local to me but on eBay. I did have the link up which had it for around $400 and they put it up to $1500 so I delete the link. Just google ‘rcd330 apple car play’ and you will find one local to you.
@@HarrodsGarage thank you Very much.
Is there any way to fit a stereo without this battery drain issue?
Our one hasn’t drained at all
Hi, I connected the rcd330 directly without adaptor and all works fine just the wheel control left said (volume) is working and right said (changing songs) is not working!! Is this related to the adapter?
I believe it is
Harrods Garage thanks
Unfortunately, and after almost two weeks from installing rcd330, i find my car battery is drained today 😔
Best get that adapter then
Yeah, already purchased for eBay. Thanks
I really need some help with mine as I don’t know which adapters I need for my new RCD330. Is it possible wether you could put the links in description where you got the adapters from?
The adapters came with mine. I’ll put the link back in the description. I did buy it for $440 and now it’s up to $800
Will it work on the MKV Rabbit?
Same same
After this, how does the heads up display work? I know it sounds daft but I don't wanna lose my radio text in there 😂
You have heads up display on the windscreen?
Will this fit a MK5 R32?
Yep
Hey mate, will this be compatible with a Golf TDI 1.9 2008? Do i need to get any extra cables or anything or will the unit itself be all I need? Thanks
Should be a straight swap. Mine did come with a harness so just make sure yours does too
Does it help with the Battery drain issue I’ve read with mkv & mk6 owners with rcd510..?
Did you have any battery draining?
Does the adaptor upload to canbus?
Haven’t had any issues with battery drainage on the mk5. Not sure about upload to canbus. But everything works fine
Does this unit not need the canbus upgrading to a car after 2009 to prevent battery drain.
I believe not
Can you add the link to the adaptors on please ???
it came with the adaptor
Harrods Garage both of them?
🤷♂️ can’t remember this was over 18months ago
Bruh thanks for the video
👌🏼
What kind of radio did you use ? And how much did it cost
Rcd330 at the time of purchase it was $400AUD i did have a link but they bumped the price up to $1500.
Will this work for a 2005 Rabbit? How did you connect the two wires at 11:29? Thanks.
only one would fit. everything seems to be working fine. Not sure about the 2005 Rabbit
3:52 Don't ever do that! ;-)
Thx for share
Don’t do what?

@@kashubelua hahaha
@@HarrodsGarage 😉
Hi what unit is that you used for upgrading your stereo?
The rcd330
@@HarrodsGarage where did you bought it?
@@marwinvillareal6116 got it locally but it was off eBay
Does the radio buttons of the steering wheel works with this new radio that you have installed? Thanks!
Volume + & - and track < > do and mute. That’s all that worked before I changed it, so as far as I know they are working.
What's the name and number of the unscrewing tool you use?
Torq wrench key is the name of the orange tools that I use. Can’t remember the size
Will this work with VW golf mk5 GTI 2005? As I’ve read somewhere you need to replace the CAN gateway to avoid battery drain and if I’m honest I haven’t got a clue what that is haha!
It will fit, but what people are saying you will need to replace the CAN. We didn’t and haven’t had any battery issues. I don’t know the part number for the CAN to replace, sorry.
Harrods Garage thanks very much for the help!
Joel Maynard If you use a scan tool or vcds you can find out the model number of your canbus gateway. You need to find what variation of canbus you have which is determined by the last letter in the mode number. I will check for you but I believe that all canbus gateways that end in K or later are fine for the rcd330 without battery drain.
@@benryman2703 Thanks for the help Ben!
what if I have a radio with the double antenna input but only a single antenna wire. Is there a single to double antenna adapter? and if it would work?
I’m pretty sure that’s the two plugs I showed in the video.
How’s your battery holding up ? I heard if you have 08 or older you need to replace the gateway
It’s going just fine. Been in there for about 5 months now. No issues at all
Ok cool I might gamble and do it
It’s worth it
I’m sure it is but from what I’m reading if you let your car sit more than 2 days without the upgrade canbus your car won’t start
Jimmy Wen haven’t had an issue over the weekends when she doesn’t drive it
Hey where can I get a radio with screen between 100-140€? I'm from Spain, for my 2006 GOLF MKV any suggestions?
Not sure buddy. Google it and see what pops up. Or maybe somebodies old one from an upgrade. Check out golf forums in Spain
@@HarrodsGarage thanks I'll do It, your video showed me how to change the radio but now I need one😂
Hi thank you for your video and work. Does it come with the cable adapters? It's plug and play or we have to change canbus? Thank you very much.
The one I bought came with adapters. I believe with the earlier mk5 you will need to change the canbus but I’m not sure what you need as I did not need it. It will most likely be somewhere in the comments.
@@HarrodsGarage thank you very much for answering!
Hi, Did you need to change the gateway?
Because I have seen on some site that for the models before 2009 it is necessary to change it.
I have a 2007 Golf 5 GTI
Thanks for your help
I didn’t need to change anything. But in the comment a lot of people have said that
dont change it, Take wire from the ac unit. (canbus) orange green canbus + orange brown canbus -
what do you mean by this ?
Good heads up. Sorry you had to replace it.
did you suffer battery drain with the unit ?
Nope

Has anyone with an 07 mk5 tdi bought this and it works? Are any extras needed?
Don’t see the difference with a tdi. Depends what the rcd330 comes with I guess.
Where can I find one like that? the radio that supports car play?
Just google Rcd330 car play. That’s what I did. Now the one I got was linked in the description but they changed it to $1500 so I deleted the link.
I have a Golf Mk5 ‘07. Purchasing this unit states the canbus will need an upgrade... do you or anyone have any insight on how to do this?
Sorry I don’t. Mine came with everything I needed. Have a look through the comment, this has been mentioned many times
What model is the one your installing ??
Rdc330
POV you clicked the link and it was $1500 so you closed the page
Huh...what was that for?
Oh wow I just went into that link. $1500 😳 it was not that much when I bought it, it was like $400. I wonder why it’s so much now.
Model of this Radio?
Rdc330
Hey, I’ve got a mkv gti, do I need an adapter and what’s it called? Thankyou for the video really helpful!
I believe it depends on your year model. My adapter came with the head unit so not sure on part number. You Could search for CAN adaptor rcd330
Okay awesome thankyou mate!
I put in mine but lost the steering wheel controls?
Mine had 2 plugs on the back for steering controls. One worked and one didn’t. Does yours have that?
so did yours come with the harness and adapter or did you have to order it separately? because all the ebay ads for this radio say it will not function in 09 or older without a bunch of extras. if so what did you have to buy.
thanks
Yeah it came with a harness. The link that’s in the description is the exact same one that I got
