Radio upgrade from 6C0035885A to 6C0035888B

[sauliusz]

Hello,

I want to add bluetooth support to my polo (2016). I know about RCD330 but I don't need ios or android support, I just need a phone call support.

I didn't know correct names for these radios.
I currently have radio with screen and MUTE button (model 6C0035885A), which doesn't support bluetooth.

I wanted to ask if I buy radio with PHONE button (model 6C0035888B) is it plug and play ? Or do I need to buy separate control modules ? Also do I need to do some coding or should it work plug and play ? Is microphone integrated in radio, or should I buy it separately ?

Thank you

i think this is possible.
But you have to find a unit and the code. Also you have to to this job (the Unit swap) to a garage with on line connection to VW servers. The reason is the Component Protection, they have to remove when they installed it to your car.

Thank you, I'll ask local garage for this.
But it seems that this will be expensive.
If price is close to Chinese clone then I guess it's better to buy from aliexpress with carplay/android auto.


Either way, thanks for information.
