I did that Ganesh, and still having no luck!!

Also, the Camera is an aftermarket and I could not find the brand. The installer only wired the camera into the car and plugged it to an Adapter, before connecting the latter to the OEM headunit.

I'm afraid you'll have to take the car to the installer and isolate the issue(s).

First check if the camera is powered properly by testing the output using a male RCA cable (yellow jack) connected to a TV (yellow port) or another display. Usually power is tapped from the reverse light. When you engage reverse, the TV/display should indicate the rear view.

Next, how has he connected the RCA cable to the RCD 340 unit in your car? There's an adapter cable required for this:

After this, and enabling the camera through VCDS, you should get the display on your headunit. The delay timer part comes next.

Did you not check the working of the camera before leaving the installer's place?

Really appreciate your time Ganesh in detailing the instructions

I know this installer personally and is an old acquaintance, so rest assured, there will be an assured resolution in terms of a fix or a full refund.

However, I will try out these steps with the installer in person over the weekend and update this thread.

Hi everyone. Need some help.

I recently installed RCD330G Plus by replacing my RCD320.

The system is the Desay automotive SV make 187A code.

I have observed that the stereo is heating up.

Not to the extent that I cannot touch the screen but I surely know that the system is heating up.

Till now, I have only used it continuously for 1 hour but not more than that.

If anyone could shed some light on the matter. The fuse seems to be fine.

Should I continue using it. I am scared of burning up wires inside.

I understand that the OEM Headunit that I got is RCD 340G since I have Android Auto. Has anybody tried installing this on their OEM HU and if yes, can you please share the details on the correct installation method?

Could probably be a PAL NTSC issue. The original RCD 340 (Visteon etc.) Headunit needs a PAL system camera. If you are using an NTSC Camera (Most aftermarket shops), then it won't work on the original headunit.

Chinese RCDs have often required NTSC cameras. Replacing the camera for you should solve the issue provided all the components are working fine and hoping all the other wiring and Delay Timer, Connectors, Power Tapping from the Reverse Light have been successfully completed.

Hi Guys,

Need some clarity. What's the Head unit Model that is in Dec 2020 Polo? Is it RCD 340G (Plus?) or RCD 330 Plus?

Thanks

Hi! It's mostly certainly the RCD340 which was sold on a December 2020 MY 2021 Polo. Here are pictures from my October built car radio, but I'm sure there has been no radio revision for the December built car either. Any specific query you wish to ask?

Really late to this trend but I was wondering if there are any trusted workshops/mod shops in Mumbai that can get this upgrade done? I'm not a technical guy at all and hesitate with any DIY that requires opening up the car etc and therefore would rather want someone professional doing this.

Would really appreciate your inputs!

It is a fairly easy job. You can find various videos on Youtube which would really help you in doing this.

You can trust yourself on this one.

Hello everyone,

I am a little late to this discussion but quick help would be helpful.
I am replacing my stock head unit on my 2016 highline. The stock was RCD320. My friend is giving me his stock 2020 highline plus head unit which is a 187C series RCD340?
I have steering mounted controls but no reverse camera. Do I need to purchase an additional Canbus connector or is it a direct swap?
I will be purchasing the unit from him today so any replies are appreciated.
