Finally got around to installing a usb and aux cable at the rear of the RCD330.

Was a bit of trial and error but finally got there.

Also decided to wire in a DAB adaptor as the FM reception is a bit poor.
Wired this into the cigarette lighter using the ignition cable.
Digital radio now plays through the AUX under the Media section.
I wasn't sure how good the sound quality would be but WOW it now sounds awesome!
Plus it gives me 63 channels.










The cat decided he'd come and watch.....

They really are great.
All it was missing was the DAB so problem solved.

That's the usb adaptor I fitted, works great plus you get 2 ports.
I'd also recomend to wire a seperate fuse just incase, around 5A does the job

Unfortunately I'm probably going to be out of the country first couple weeks of August.

Hello there, lovely R32 and amazing spec! Love the all cloth wingbacks!  :drinking:

Question about the RCD330, my car is a 1.4 tsi 2008 model so I guess I won't have an issue with battery drain, how was the installation like? Do all the MFSW buttons work? I plan to get it for Android Auto, How is the audio quality compared to the previous unit? My car has the RCD300 headunit.

How do you find the RCD330?

 I'm looking to upgrade the head unit in my GTI but i've been told to be careful about the battery drain?

Love the R32 colour as well  :smiley:
