Cheers for the offers guys, the car is booked in tomorrow so they can look at the "Bird under the bonnet" noise (cambelt)
and I'm going to ask them to check my cam bus gateway as well.

I have had my head under the steering wheel this morning and all around the underneaths and cant find a single plastic unit
with a red plug connected to it,unless its been relocated and i don't need to change it.

anyone else with an 07 / 57 / 08 car that knows if its relocated on there's and if they didn't need to upgrade it ?

Dont worry about changing your gateway unless you have too, I have an 05 car and have wihtout issue been running the cooked firmware with my old gateway. The firmware can be downloaded from the internet I have run 1300 and a 2xxx one that supports voice control without any battery issues.

As for the aerials I also removed one of the plastic shrouds when fitting my RNS to get round the issue of closer fitting, I believe the the shrouds have specific tabs to ensure the right aerial goes into the right tuner so fit the cable you are leaving the plastic on first and the stripped lead second.

the RNS 500 i bought is a version C and is already up to date so would cause battery drain if i have the wrong Can

you can still install the new firmware as a downgrade if necessary.

It would depend what firmware the unit is running, but 1300 or the new one I am running (cant remember which version 2xxx) the unit will have all the up-to date functions it just has the can gateway firm ware version from the older firmwares so still manages to interact in the right way with the car. have a look on my-gti at the different firmware versions or vw-navi.

I would say that that CECM is quite new so your car is after 07 plate...?  the Can Gateway is behind the relay plate from experience of fitting them.

Take your small cubby out at the side of the steering wheel and you will see a line of relays, at the said of that to the left is a tab that you can press and the plate will come toward you.  If you shine a light to the back of it you will see the Can Bus it just needs prizing off its pirch and pulling forward.

The other way is to pop the bonnet take the wipers off and take the wiper motor out...after that you will see a square black plate, take the screws out and the can bus is behind that.

Found it !!!!!! :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

Ok so for future reference for all those searching the net without any answer to where the hell the can bus is.
It appears that from Late 2007 (57 Plate) the can bus Gateway was moved to a different location on Golf mk5
I Found mine directly behind the small pull out compartment next to the steering wheel see pic 1



and in picture 2 its just behind the relay board



and picture 3 is the version of Can Bus i have in car 2007 December Model (the cross over period)

Can Bus Gateway : 1KO 907 530 AD




i Hope this helps some of you out searching for this answer

It looks like that has been retro fitted mate?  has late 2007 would have been a Q or S dependent on how late it was?  AD was fitted to the mk6 golf. By the way the gateway is 1K0 907 530AD

Any way your RNS510 will be fine

If you look on the close up of my Can Bus , you can see the word Continental.
I have the same thing written on my RNS 510





By retro you mean someone has put a brand new can Bus in it,
as that isnt the original to the car

the car use to be an Ex lease car for Johnson and Johnson, do you think it possibly had an RNS 510 OR RCD 510
Before it was handed to me ? as on the paper work i was given it says "removal of phone Kit" ????

or possible that it had a faulty one and was replaced ?

Yaaaaay!  :jumpmove: that will be fine as said above, much newer revision gateway than you would usually have in that age of car.

Most likely the previous owner upgraded to a RNS or RCD and the dealer fixed the battery drain issue by changing the CAN Gateway.

Now go fit it ;)
