Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Update: All the radio update equipment eventually came but I never got a chance to hook it up there was no point, my daughter heads back to the Middle East as shes been offered a job (pending a visa) so shes selling the VW Polo. This leaves me with a radio upgrade that's not needed, if anybody who's...

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

This attachment is with the radio blurb, looks like settings might be controllable.. Unfortunately I think my quadlock cable is on the long boat from China... It's in transit somewhere so can't set it up just yet..

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Quick question, I've seen it mentioned a couple of times and sliders question above has me thinking.. What sort of issues can occur with the settings, and why would I have issues with them by changing out the head unit / radio?
Cheers.

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Haven't tried it fully yet Slider, only connected up to see if it worked while parked up, I'm hoping it has no negative affects on any of the settings! BTW Tex, Carista doesn't work for me, gives an error saying the unit is faulty, but apparently it does this with generic scanner clones, which mine ...

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Hi Tex.. The one I got only supports carplay and mirrorlink I got it from a shop on aliexpress called lemon shark, slow to dispatch but when actually shipped took only 4 days to ireland. They do android ones too, hopefully when the extension cables come everthing will work as it should, because this...

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Disconnected it completely to remove the glove box to allow access to the head unit and connect the new radio to the quadlock.. 🙄

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Do you guys know of anyone on the forum who has done this successfully? Looking at the installs for thie 6R it looks so easy, just seems to be a simple pop out the old and put in the new rcd330...!

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Hi tex.. Cheers, I was sort of giving up hope of installing this, but if you think it's do able that'd be brilliant, my budget is around €140 or GBP 125..they average that shirt of price on aliexpress... I believe an Mbq version is required for the 6C with an adapter...
Cheers..

Re: 6C or 6R..I'm not sure

Almost twice the price on ebay though, I was looking on aliexpress... No returning stuff there!! I'm sure I'll sort something out... My only dread is if I have to gain access thru the glove box, that looks dodgy!!
Cheers
