RCD500 vs RCD310
« on: March 06, 2011, 12:11:09 pm »
Out of curiousity does the RCD310 have a better amplifier than the RCD500?

I have the RCD500 and don't use the CD at all as I connect it with my iPhone or listen to the radio.

I also have the soundpack - so would the 310 sound better? They seem to go for the same price on eBay so don't have to annoy the wife and risk a divorce after all the detailing kit I've bought.

Thanks

The sound pack will work providing the plus in the back of the h/u are the same I see no reason why it wouldn't.

Problem is Alex you after over twice what the RCD310 goes for and the amp on the 310 is a better ones than the MFD2.

That's what I mean...are the plugs the same? Few people nearby have Vagcom so coding shouldn't be an issue thogh if won't work with soundpack then I'm stuck with the RCD500  :confused:

So long as they are both double dins from the same era, both will use the Quadlock connection, and therefore both will work.
