It's not a genuine VW head unit

It's a Chinese one that looks similar to a VW one

I got a genuine 6 month old RCD510 DAB for £270 - If you don't need the sat-nav its an excellent unit! Would highly recommend  :happy2:

I'd avoid these replica units, they may work for years but then again they may work for weeks...
