Any effects from running the car without a stereo connected?
« on: February 10, 2012, 09:25:43 am »
Hello all. Ive run cars without stereos in the past, but these were cars without complex ECUs and electronics.

I have ordered my RNS510 and now sold my RCD510. I would like to get the RCD510 posted to the buyer as soon as possible.

Are there any problems associated with running no stereo? Apart from an ugly dashboard?

I can get any faults cleared that may arise with VCDS.

On my last car (2009 civic) when I removed the stereo it caused the aux screen (air con readings etc) to deactivate  :confused: however the golf's setup is quite different and removing the stereo should not negatively affect the functions of any other equipment.

Nothing you'll notice. As said if you did a scan, would just give a stereo not found or entertainment system communication error
