RCD510

[dodds-gttdi]

hi, this is my first post and its purely informational as i havent seen anyone ask or answer all my questions...

Will i be able to fit an RCD510 in my '09 mk5 Golf?

Will an aftermarket subwoofer (integrated sub/amp deal) attach directly via phono?

If the answers are no, what equipment am i likely to need as i have a budget of about 200 for the whole lot, which leaves about 50 after the head unit purchase.

The RCD510 will a lot straight into your car. No CAN Gateway upgrade needed. Not sure about the 2nd question.

I have an excellent RCD510 for sale in the classifieds.

Mines is a late 2007 golf and by opening the little compartment underneath the light switch to the right of the steering wheel and taking it out , then if you clip out bracket that's right infront of you then look up and to the back you may see something with a red connection. If you can get your hand up there , clip it out and turn it round you should be able to read the part number. It does help that I have skinny hands though!

I've unclipped the compartment under the light switch and I think I can see the gateway up the back but I can't get to it it's doing my head in lol. Is there anything else I can remove to get my hand in there as it's too tight with the relay panel in the way!

Thanks

There is another way of getting to it by going under the bonnet. Better for sausage fingered people!

I have seen that too but I don't think I trust myself taking all those bits off haha and I hear it's a real pain getting the wipers off without the correct tool! If all else fails I'll have to pay someone to do it for me lol!

The other option is to find your local friendly forum member with VCDS and get your car scanned, this will tell you which Gateway you have
