RCD510 DAB help !!

[B1NCC 1.8T]

Hello
I managed to pick up a new RCD 510 DAB for my mk5 ed30,

I have upgraded the gateway to accommodate for the new unit, so no battery drain.

Went to fit unit today and come across a couple of problems. First being the aerial connections are different, I found out now on the forum that you can buy an adapter to sort out this problem.
Where is best to buy this.

2nd problem the MAIN problem is my car has a retro fit VW iPod lead from the dealers. When the new 510 unit is plugged in the iPod doesn't work. Anyone else had this before and over come this problem. ?

Thanks in advance Chris.

I've got the same issue and I ordered an adapter from the dealers.
The adapter should arrive Tuesday and that's when I'll fit it. If it works I'll give you the code.

I ordered my adapter of eBay it was £7 delivered new and it works great

You can pull off part of the plastic on the ariel connector so it will fit on the rcd

I think you might have to get a MDI kit for the iPod adaptor

Agree with baz300 about the connector, save the cash and take the plastic ends off. Had mine fitted over 18 months and no probs

Yes you can attach it without the adaptor but if you want one, on eBay for a few quid.....

Thanks for the help so far guys, ordered an adapter lead for the aerial for reception.

Anyone had this issue with iPod lead, and over come it ????

Does you iPod not work at all then matey or is the quality just rubbish. The reason I ask is because I've heard of some people who had poor sound quality and fixed it by swapping over two wires in the AUX.

It worked perfect with the old 300 but when plugged into the 510 it doesn't seem to pick it up at all. The aux/media have been activated too
Had it playing something but it was terrible /quiet and it would not operate off the 510 unit  itself. Had to swap track with iPod.

This is the adapter that worked for me:





If yours doesn't work try that one!

Thanks for the part number mate.

Still trying to figure out the iPod situation, if anyone knows.

Might need to check your coding in VCDS.
