i did, and the twin aerials don't fit  :signLOL:, so im going to order an adaptor tomorrow instead of bodging it  :jumping:

Nooooo the plastic connectors come off literally, if you look underneath them, they have a little slit, stick a small flathead screwdriver in, and they just pop off.

Then just plug them in to the aerial ports - if you must, then secure with a small bit of insulation tape and job is a goodun!

Honestly, it's not going to move anywhere when it's pushed back in place! Save yourself the money, trust me I usually love to do things properly with the correct adaptors etc, but for that theres no way it's worth the money of an adaptor for something that's not needed.

My radio reception is perfect as well!

Both! And it doesn't matter which way round.

So on the back of the RNS 510 you have 5 ports in total.

1 x Big plug for tv out / rear video camera

1 x Big plug for your ISO connector

1 x GPS Antenna socket

2 x Radio antenna socket (next to each other, the double plug) put the white and beige ones in there.

will give that a go when i get it back from VW.

i asked about the can bus today and they confirmed on 11/11/2010 it was replaced
under warranty as it was faulty.

So that is a hell of a result

Its not so easy on newer golf to just take the connector housing off guys, they have to be cut off on 2007 onwards leaving just the metal plug.

They don't have the purple clip like on the older cars so you would be better getting the adaptor and leaving the housings on the connectors.

Dont they just have a star clip on the inside that needs to be popped out ?, no need to cut my old Golfs plugs off, I removed the gold circlip inside the housing then they plugs just come off ?

Best pic i can find of the clip inside the housing



Below is the gold circlip pushed back on the Antenna after t was removed to take off the housing

I'm going to buy the adaptor as i plan to put the old stereo back in the car in the future.

If i ever change my golf to a newer one or even sell it then its extra cash or a decent unit in a newer golf  :happy2:

Fitted an RCD510 at the weekend, softly softly at first, but can do it in 5 mins now, in tonbridge if anyone wants a hand.

My eddy (57) had 2 (White and beige) wires, but with the adaptor Im only using one, surely that can't be right though?!?! Surely it was designed for 2 wires?

Not the one above  :confused: the one Ive got has a double connection the the back of the head unit and a single which connects onto one of the existing wires.  Plus its alot thicker.
