Aux compatibility with rcd300
« on: May 18, 2014, 12:29:38 am »
Hi everyone
I have this item:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190859587792
 was wondering wether it will fit a RCD300 stereo
Also wether I would need a adaptor
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

The white connector at the end of that item in the link goes straight into the back of the RCD300 where you'll find the majority of wires leading to not sure on what its actually called but you'll know what i mean when you pull the RCD300 out.

My iPhone/iPod kit works in exactly the same way except i had to connect the earth from iPod setup to the earth of the bunch of wires mentioned above.
You shouldn't need to do this i don;t think and you shouldn't need any adaptors i am aware of just 'Plug and play'

No worries mate, wanted aux for a while but was put off by reading threads on  a few forums saying ' you need this loom and these connectors plus coding blah blah  :rolleye: ' where as yours is straight plug and play no hassle for under £28! Bargain if you ask me
