RCD 300 Installation...

[Bluebacon172]

A nice easy question for you lot this morning - Thinking of changing my poverty edition RCD300 to the silver button RCD300 (still poverty I know)...

How tricky is this to do - baring in mind I'm very new to all this modding business?

Cheers!!

It's easy.

Just follow the instruction of how to remove the headunit from my camera install guide (from step 2 - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10027.0.html

Cheers Steve! I have to say, I'm a bit nervous about doing it though...

Do I need any special tools?

Really easy, it looks scary but it's not. No special tools. A torx screwdriver and a trim removal piece is handy.

Am I right in thinking the silver button version will show track names from mp3's or ipod connection as opposed to just track 01, track 02 etc?

^^^^ Nope not from the OEM iPod adapter. But it will play MP3 CD's that do show the track names

Only if it has the 'MP3' logo on the head unit.
