Aerial adapter from RDC300 to RCD510/RNS510
« on: January 23, 2010, 09:26:57 pm »
Hey

Just fitted an RCD510 this afternoon, i have noticed the aerial connection is slightly different (the rcd300 is slightly wider) - do people cut the plastic to make it fit or is there an adapter? My signal isnt really good after the fitting!

Cheers

There is an adapter that can be purchased. You can get it from VW, ebay etc. Mortygttdi may be able to sort you out with one of here.
Did you make sure you but the leads the correct way? Made a little difference on mine!  :happy2:

Not sure if they will be more than this from VW. You have a price to go by. Maybe some cheaper ones on the bay to!  :happy2:

Don't need an adapter, there is a way of sorting it.

Does the ends of the cable with the biege and white connectors connect to the white block connectors coming from the dash? If it is then your option is cheaper as opposed to this I found, also genuine VW parts. I assume the cable you fitted doesn't need the pink/blue adaptor shown below.

Or do you have to order these two parts:

Part numbers are:

4E0 035 608 K - £2.30* (Adaptor)
000 098 707 (you will need 2 of these) - £14.46* each  (Cables)
