RCD510 Turning Off & On???
« on: February 29, 2016, 09:59:32 am »
Hi,

I have had my RCD510 in my MK5 GTi for about a year now, with no issues until last night.

Came out to the car last night and as normal started the car up, but the stereo didn't come on.  Tried pressing the power button a few times and nothing, although I did get the buttons lighting up red for a second a couple of times but no display on screen.

This morning when I came out to the car and turned it over the stereo came on as normal.  I thought this was it fixed but unfortunately throughout my 5 mile drive the stereo turned itself off and on numerous times.

I wont get a chance to remove the dash trim and get the stereo out till the weekend, just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and how it was resolved?  Could it be that the stereo is about to die?

The unit is a genuine Volkswagen unit with new CanBus bought from this forum from Eddie-NL so don't see any issues there.

Thanks in advance for your help.   :happy2:
