RCD330+ upgrading from RNS315
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2019 6:08 pm
Hi all - I know this has been discussed in various topics before, but looking the answer to some some questions to a potential install which hopefully someone has done before and will help others in my situation...
Reason for changing - have used TomTom Go for Apple IOS on my iPhone for years. Many disagree, but I think this is the best Satnav / Traffic solution. Now TomTom Go for IOS is available as a CarPlay app, so I really keen to install Carplay into my Scirocco. I have MY13 version with the RNS315 system installed - no reversing camera or sensors. It does have a usb socket in the armrest though.
My questions are:
1. Can you just swap out an RNS3145 for an RCD330+ ? I have no reversing camera or sensors or Dynaudio speakers - just a plain old RNS315 with a USB port in the arm rest which can connect to to an iPod etc.
2. Steering Wheel buttons - will they just work?
3. If I sold the Scirocco, could I just swap them over again to revert to standard? Would special codes be needed to resintall the RNS315?
4. Do the volume controls (rotary dial) illuminatte on the RCD330+
Finally - I know I would lose DAB - this is a shame, but not the end of the world - Is the FM on RCD 330 radio OK (compared to other FM radios out there)
Any other pitfalls - fault codes which may appear, blutooth issues etc.
Thanks so much for reading!
