I took it to a installer who charged me 500 bucks. But its a really simple job and if you are fine with trying DIY then this should be a breeze.

Hello Guys, I ordered this rear camera however it seems it will not fit in my Polo. As I checked there is no space for it else I may have to get my rear bumper punctured to make space for this?? Any guesses??

Yes it will fit in your polo but you will have to order CAN-Bus simulator along with this HU.

No, this camera will not fit in your polo as it doesn't have boot opener. You will need license plate holder camera for polo.

Order this camera - Polo Reverse Camera. Select "polo hatchback" under color.

My RCD 330g Plus is on its way from China and reached Chennai. I have got an e-mail from Aramex asking to pay Rs.936.30 towards the customs clearance charges, and I did that. Hopefully the package should reach me in another couple of days. Aramex doesn’t have delivery service at Mahindra World City area, so they will be send it via any other courier service.

In mean time I wanted to prepare for the Installation and have come up with few queries, Can you help please help me with the same,
Q1- I do not have the trim removal tools, Can I use any other tools (like screw driver) to poke the trims out?
Q2- I have got these male pins with me to connect the intermediate harnesses (Quad lock to ISO) CAN signals to the ISO connecter (to the Pin 1-CAN H & 5 CAN L).

Are these OK?
Q3- I have a 2013 model (Pre-facelift) Polo GT-TDI. Does this model have a 4K-OPS unit for rear parking sensors? Will I be able to enable the display in RCD330g Plus?

I have also ordered the VCDS from the below supplier, but doesn’t seems like I will get on time.

Is there someone in Chennai who can help me with scanning and programming the RCD330gPlus after installation, to enable the Radio and the OPS display if it is possible?

Never use a screw driver to pry open the trims. It will leave permanent scratches. Use a discarded credit card or something similar.

You should be able to but VW is known to play around with the parts bin so you can't be 100% sure. I am betting yours will though.

There is no programming involved. This is a straight forward swap with the Quadlock to ISO adapter cable. The only part where you will need the cable is to change the image of the car on the ParkPilot display.

Thanks Gannu for the quick response,

I was reading through the quoted post, and this made me to ask you about the VCDS programming for 4K-OPS module enabling. Anyhow, let me Install the system and check it.

Sorry for the back to back post, the time limit for editing is over. Mods, if there is a way to merge, please help me to do so.

I have attached the picture which I received from the seller.

OOPS, My RCD 330G+ just landed, and I always wanted one with Apple Carplay.

Is there a method to upgrade the firmware, for the Carplay to work?

What do you mean ? Mirror Link is not universally supported by Android per se - its the phone manufacturer who has to support it. Samsung & HTC support it - One Plus doesnt for eg.

(mods please advise on how to remove attachment images from the bottom of post)

Reading success stories of the respective members, I also tried the same on my Polo 2013 Comfortline Petrol. This car model doesn't have the canbus outputs so I ended up spending a lot more than required for the install.

The items were ordered from Aliexpress:

Headunit: 6.5 inch MIB Car Radio RCD330 PLUS

Canbus Adapter : PQ MIB RCD330 Plus Decoder Canbus Simulator Gateway Emulator

Order was placed on 26.11.2016, I was charged Rs.8884 for both items. Seller was communicated to pack both items in the same package. He had confirmed the same. The seller shipped the package through Aramex on 05.01.2017 and it landed to my doorstep on 11.01.2017. No customs duty was charged (don't know why).


I gladly opened the box, the packing was neat:


and the HU


antenna & reverse camera adapters


but the seller had goofed up and not packed the canbus adapter. On communication he posted it the same day but was delivered in 15 days. So, long wait in store.

Just to play and check the HU, I removed my existing MapmyIndia HU and attached the wiring to RCD.

The existing MMI unit that I had installed in the car.


The unit powered on but no bluetooth, illumination, no switching off with key and switched off after 30 mins.

I became impatient and started looking for canbus adapter locally and found it for Rs.3000/- at a location in Delhi itself at Classic Accessories

Being in hurry to get the HU installed, I enquired about the item over call and decided to pay a visit. It is a small shop in Ramesh Nagar. The owner Shalinder Choudhary himself is a enthusiast and has bought a Polo Trendline to try out the mods. Says "I don't want to spend the life installing pioneer and sonys".


The unit worked. Sound quality is far improved from stock systems and the MMI HU that was installed. Bluetooth working fine with all contacts and call logs on iPhone. With android you can also read sms on the HU. Also when you select Media, all the contents of music are available to play as you would do on the iphone.

Areas missing are time was not sync, reverse cam not working.

I was 60% satisfied but felt something was missing so ordered a few more items

Canbus cables from vagtune.in


and replica rosstech cable from EBay:


Researched our forums and internet about wiring the canbus harness and found good deal of help. Got inspired by one of our members who installed an RCD310 into his polo http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/car-en...upgrade-2.html

Best support was from a Russian site Drive2.ru. It is russian but images and google translate will solve that.

This saturday I made the effort and was able to wire the canbus harness to the HU.


I turned the key and unit turned on, time and temperature were synced.


One interesting feature that I found is, if you have your iPhone paired and you lock your car, the location is saved onto your Maps app.


The reverse cam is still not working, now the time to plug in the rosstech cable. I followed the advice on this thread, did the coding and cleared all the fault codes.

The ignition was turned on and the reverse gear was engaged and what I got:


but no camera display, I tried to re-do the steps but the result was same, then I read on this thread to reset the HU by keeping power button pressed for 10-15 seconds. The system restarted and finally I got:


but on disengaging and re-engaging the reverse gear, I got black screen again.

So after reading this tiring post, please suggest what to do next, I get the camera image on clearing the fault codes on HU and resetting it, but not after that.

Do I need a new OEM camera from aliexpress or is there something that I am missing.

Any support would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Even your MMI-HU has very OE look. was that an Android based unit?

This feature on IOS 10 works with RCD320 also.

I was prepared for the customs part, seems the customs official was in good mood or was occupied on a phone call with someone special .

It is a windows CE unit, got it installed from VW showroom itself, daylight robbery for around Rs.40K some thing. Only good part was maps, I have lost the SD card for it.

Small goodies.

[aLY]

I have received the RCD330g+ today along with the ISO to Quadlock connector. But on the black ISO connector, pin no-2 is wired from Quad lock connector pin no- 11 (Display Voltage - Positive), where as in the Gannus post this pin is empty.

Attaching both the pictures for your reference.

This is the one I received,



and this one is from Gannu's post,


PC: Gannu, VW Polo DIY: Delphi RCD 510 headunit + 9W7 Bluetooth unit installation.

Do I need to remove pin no-2 from the black ISO Connector? or should I leave it as it is.

Yes, the 4K OPS module is present in my vehicle. I'm able to get the Park pilot display



The next thing is to do is changing the vehicle type in Parkpilot display, awaiting for the VCDS to come.
