Aftermarket headunit

Post by smithy0504 »

Hi,

I am looking to change the RNS510 in my 2010 2.0 TSI GT.

I have the bluetooth module under the seat, but the bluetooth capabilities of the RNS510 just seem so limited i'm wanting something a bit better.
I have dynaudio and i've heard the rcd330s from eBay don't support dynaudio, which is a shame as I really wanted something that looks OEM But don't think i'll get there.
I'd like BT/Radio/Reverse camera support/Change track pause etc via steering controls/Apple carplay or android play

Any unit recommendations would be great

If your main issue is with BT capability, you could just upgrade the BT module under the seat to a later version.

If you want to keep the OEM look and interconnectivity with the MFD and steering wheel controls, have a look at the Kenwood VW units.

Thanks bob, i'll take a look at kenwood.

As far as I checked, I have the latest revision of BT but it still feels quite limited.
