gateway fault or? radio related

[Shoduchi]

The radio not powering with ignition has nothing to do with gateway coding related to the radio. That I know for sure because I had my first RNS-510 running well with Navigation not activated in the gateway installation list for a couple of months. It was corrected later but I didn't notice any difference in the HU work.

For what I understood you only get sporadic errors related with the radio/infotainment, right?

[olethalb]

i always get infotainment code and sometimes intermittant radio comms code

[Shoduchi]

Can you share the exact VCDS error list?

[olethalb]

i wrote them down before battery died on laptop

1305 - infotainment

1300 - nav

1304 - radio

I'd try another gateway you can have my old one if you want (version f)?

This is what i noted down as checked when i replaced my gateway

I think you might have a bad connection to the gateway somewhere in the loom or connectors, and that is stopping the gateway to communicate properly with the radio, giving the other 2 errors.

That would explain the radio not powering up correctly. The aftermarket radio might not need a good communication with the gateway to power up normally.

Ok just read on another forum about 'the fuse mod' to enable fitting later stereos without battery drain but stereo loses memory

I remembered seeing this in the golf and was there when previous owner bought the car (mfd2 fitted)



I've removed the add on and popped the fuse in the slot closest the bonnet so i'll see what happens at 4pm when i leave to go home

That looks very bodgie  fingers crossed.

Your fuse goes in the other slot ! It's slot 19 as far as I can remember , I was running this mod for a week while waiting on a new canbus gateway

Yep all sorted, fuse is in correct place or stereo doesn't work at all, i think F19 yes :)
