Cool !! That's a steal away price. How did you procure it ? Did you get it through a friend from US or via online, Please let me know.

Enjoy.

Got it from eBay. Portugal made by Bosch. The same name was my original rcd 310. Avoid Chinese

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.

Got it from eBay resellers, the unit is removed from a euro CC at the dealership

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

VW CD Radio+RDS RCD510 Portugal, Passat Golf 5,6 Jetta, w/CODE Bosch 5K0035190B
Looks awesome for 198.

Do u need the rear view camera integration too? For that you will have to buy 5K0035190A

@newtonMeter, Great find and for the price looks very interesting!!

Does this come with the bluetooth module or you have to purchase it separately?

Nice work on the RC510 NewtonMeter ! As for the chromes , not too tasteful . The lines end too abruptly !! You can try for the side and rear chrome as on the New "Style" Edition of the Vento .
P.S.
Also the dealer here(Hubli) said that The Style is only available in ComfortLine Variant . Can anybody confirm that ? If yes , what were they thinking ??? :O

Hey Sid, Nilesh

Did any of you get this system. I am planning to go for vento highline AT which now comes with rcd 320. Would indian vw upgrade to this system from dealers themselves or is it too much to ask.
