Hi there I am looking to change my rcd 300 for something like the RCD 510 from E bay, I am looking to get DAB into the car. Is there anything other than the head unit that I need. It's going into a 06 gti. Any help or suggestions please??

Cheers Dean

DAB aerial and an upgraded canbus gateway to prevent battery drain.

iirc Eddie-NL on here sells the uncoded latest versions ones for around £70 and coded ones for your car for about £10 more.
If you don't have access to a vcds cable then get the coded one.

Is there anyone in the Notts/Derby area who could do an install??

Cheers Dean

The actual head unit install is easy enough for a novice DIYer if you take your time. The canbus swap could be a little tricky as it's located behind the dash and you have to approach it from the drivers footwell.

yes I could do the head unit, it's the rest of the stuff. I would also like to upgrade the speakers and fit a sub and amp.
