I have a 2012 Polo GTI and when I bought it the dealer said it was an upgraded radio. I can't find any markings on it to determine the model number - it's a big screen that has rear parking sensor info when you reverse and also has full media navigation (for my ipod). There's no sat nav and it doesn't appear to support DAB but there is a phone button which just mutes the sound.
I also have a Parrot bluetooth set up with the radio which works fine.
Am just wondering what model this is and whether it has DAB, any info/help much appreciated.
thanks
What radio do I have?

Re: What radio do I have?
Hold it, is that a DAB button in the top right corner?? I just need to go check mine (numpty alert)...
Re: What radio do I have?
OK, mine is the same, but different!
It has the same buttons down the left - RADIO/MEDIA/PHONE, but has a different button on the right, instead of DAB it has TIM/TP/SETUP. If I press TIM it says 'no messages available'!?
What's going on??

TIM is traffic messages.
If there is no delay in your area (road works, ques, accidents) then there are no messages.

So no DAB on my model then, I take it there were variants of the same model (RCD 510)?iichel wrote:TIM is traffic messages.

Re: What radio do I have?
You can be sure whether is has DAB or not by pulling it out and look for a black Fakra plug
