RCD310 to RCD??? radio with Bluetooth?

Post by wide23 »

Hi,

My polo 2013 has stock RCD310 radio. I consider to add cheap Bluetooth module to play music from telephone.
How ever I read that bluetooth has to be switch off when someone is calling and we want to answer and talk. It suck, so now I consider to change radio on another with internal Bluetooth module.
Is 6C0035888C good solution? What do I need more to use it with telephone for calling - microphone 3B0035711B and carsystem’s cable to connect it with radio?
https://www.carsystems.eu/vw-connection ... d2742.html is it compatible?
I have not multifunction steering wheel and MFI/MFA (how ever it’s called).

Best regards
Lukas

No, don't get the 6C0... radio stuff for a Polo 6R, it will not work. A nice option is an RCD330 (for PQ). That's aftermarket/china OEM but will work in europe too.
Or if you want to go full OEM, you can try the discover media but that needs to be hacked etc before it will work.

To be hones I would like to avoid big investments in this car. Is it one reliable option (if I compare costs of rest stuff to connect phone like microphone, cables etc. etc.)?

Hello, if the discover media is unlocked is it a straightforward swap? Or do I need to do some coding to get the buttons to work? I have found unlocked units 5C0035680G and 5C0035680F, but I don't have the bluetooth module, will I need to also install one or does it have integraded bluetooth?

The bluetooth module is built into the Discover Media.

Usually, if the DM is 'hacked', it's sent with basic/good 'coding' so that almost all the main functions -like bluetooth- work as they should if the rest of the vehicle modules are compatible and coded correctly.
Coding these things is usually a simple matter... there is tons of info on the net.

Seems like a good choice then, and it doesn't have the CD/DVD module, or is it only for the older versions? And also do you know if I can find "official" firmware for it? I want to buy but it will come in ukrainian and I would like to set it to english

For 'unlocked' Discover Media PQ the best and cheapest option is to learn the native language of the device, it seems that even if you set it in any other language in the SETTINGS the voice control returns to the native language by itself, that is, you will almost never be able to complete the introduction of an Address using the Voice Control.
It will tell you "Repeat Please" right at the end of the dialogue... (to laugh at you), although this also happens in any other language, ...and if that wasn't enough, the asshole device tells/orders you not to yell at it.

If the DM unlocker is a "normal" person, he should send it to you with the latest firmware possible for that device's hardware.
All DMs 'PQ' have a factory CD/DVD slot/drive.
