RCD300 mp3 Radio?
« on: July 09, 2009, 12:52:33 pm »
Hi guys

I recently sold an RCD300 radio on ebay. It didn't have the mp3 logo on the front of it but I thought all car radios play mp3 CDs... am I wrong? Because I've had so much hassle with the guy who won it telling me my advert was deliberately misleading... my 11 year old mk4 Golf could play mp3 CDs so I assumed this one would too...??

Cheers for any help / info guys!   :smiley:

+1. I have the RCD500 which has a 6-cd changer built into it. It still doesn't support mp3s. As said above, unless it says on mp3 on the HU, don't assume it will support mp3.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Did you actually advertise it as being mp3 capable?

If you didn't and the buyer didn't know or ask then caveat emptor. However if you stated/communicated that it was mp3 capable then the buyer has a legitimate cause for complaint.

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah I had two so sold one two weeks ago (which was definitely mp3) and then assumed the other was the same so used the same auction template... genuine mistake but I just needed to make sure for peace of mind, so thanks!  :smiley:
