I have tried to get a reverse camera installed in my new Polo GT TSI with the same head unit. However, when the camera is enabled, App Connect disappears from the system, showing me an error that App Connect is not supported. For some strange reason, the entire coding of the head unit changes when attempting to enable the camera as per the code of the RCD 330G.

If you have a VCDS available, could you let us know what the original coding of the 56-Radio Module is? As both our head units are the same, using the code from your system (with the rear view camera enabled) just might allow me to enable the camera in my car.

Thanks to Abhiram for sharing:

Hello Team-BHP folks,

I have come to know about a similar problem faced by the user Ess in the following thread; page 3 post #31:

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/car-en...-gt-tsi-3.html

A Polo GT TSI owner - Abhishek Datta - also faced a similar issue and he took the vehicle to the dealer where they attempted many resets which did not fix the problem. Later, the dealer got in touch with someone who knew about this issue and then came up with a new wiring harness to connect the camera to the headunit.

After that and a couple of resets, all the 3 features (Android Auto, CarPlay and Mirrorlink) reappeared on the unit, along with the camera feed. Abhishek confirms that no VCDS coding was done to fix the problem and it took only the wiring harness change and some system resets.

Regards,

Abhiram

Am facing a very strange issue with this Head unit just on Android auto. When I make a phone call people at the other end complain of echo. This goes away if I press the mute button whenever they speak. Else they hear their voice echoing. No such problem on Apple CarPlay. Has anyone else faced this issue ?

If you are considering a retrofit, what would be the advantage of this unit over Blaupunkt, Dynavin or other units feature wise?

I have an aftermarket Sony hu. Only volume and track steering buttons work.
This one will give AA/CP for not too much money and full steering wheel button compatibility.
Downside :
Audio will be lower quality
No sub out which I'm using along with a monoblock rf amp + RF sub.
No time alignment or listening position.

Price will be much cheaper than any aftermarket HU.

Are you referring to the fader function here? Or is some advanced form of that function?

Re: Review: R340G head-unit in my Polo GT TSI

Any Polo GT owners successfully installed reverse camera in R340G? I asked dealer about it and he said there is no standard fitment from VW. He claimed he will arrange a third party fitment done from showroom and he is quoting 13k for it. Looks really expensive. If any one could give me some pointers for cheaper option?

Thanks and Regards,
Scorpio Fan

I'm facing the same issue in my car. Have you found a solution to this problem? Or does anyone else have any info on this issue? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No solution. I just mute when the other person speaks and I mute when I speak. Was tough in beginning but used to it now. Kind of defeats the purpose though.

That's sad. I wish there was a better and permanent solution to this problem.

Re: Review: R340G head-unit in my Polo GT TSI

Hi all

I recently got an RCD 330 - part number 6RF035187E for my 2015 Polo GT TSI

Details of the unit

Review: R340G head-unit in my Polo GT TSI-img_20180509_194402_hdr.jpg

When I connect my phone (Xiaomi Mi5) to use android auto, I get the following error

Review: R340G head-unit in my Polo GT TSI-screenshot_20180510082448712_com.google.android.gms.png

I tried using 2 other phones and cables (Xiaomi Redmi 4, Samsung Galaxy S7) - same error

I can set the car's time on the instrument cluster, but I do not see any option to set the date (either on the instrument cluster or on the radio itself)

I searched around google for the solution to this error and various steps given were to un-install and re-install android auto, disable "set time automatically" option in phone, enable usb debugging etc. I tried all of them and still the same error.

Any pointers on how this error can be solved?

Thanks

Hi Raul

Yes, I obtained this unit from Aliexpress. I have tried many solutions I found browsing through the web, but unfortunately none of them worked. Looks like I will be returning this unit.
