That is brilliant, I always wanted to do that but was, well sceptical but now that you have done it and everything works its awesome. So share the pricing for it and where did you source it and more importantly who installed it, the VW dealer or aftermarket chaps. Sid |

Sourced it from eBay, got a good deal of usd210 for a made in Portugal system. Made by Bosch. With safe code Avoid Chinese make:) which are cheaper. These radio are cheaper now as new generation are coming ( already seen in the latest vento and upcoming Octavia) Well installed on my own:) |

thats wonderful newtonMeter. For that kind of price even I am tempted. Did you get it from someone who was updating his unit? From VW themselves this device costs a bomb if I remember correctly. |

Will do the moment I reach home:) meanwhile u can search in eBay.com not .in and see for worldwide shipping option. And look for non Chinese. I'll let you guys some current deals once I get back. One disclaimer: you should avoid upgrade if you don't have current 310. For 2 reasons Pre 310 the HU which came with vento were Chinese low radio single din 2nd generation The 310s were pure dual din made in Portugal generation 3 with diversity antenna This rcd 510 is gen 3 so the pins are same. Though you can upgrade from older (pre 310) to 510 but would require a easy resorting your pins on connectors. It's a simple job :) The last issue, for 2010 ventos the canbus version would be too old and could cause battery draining with rcd 510 |
