hi all

been reading forum for a few weeks and thought it was time i joined.

love all the pics and info

just got a little 2011 pearl black moda 70bhp
so far,Ive managed to upgrade stereo to led rcd 510 c/w dab
swap std dash trim to piano black from gti
put in seat pedals
and have a leather gearknob ,leather handbrake and leather mfsw to deal with.
and will probably change alloys at some point

only mods ill be doing will be basic cosmetic ones.
got a tt so the polo is my everyday run about and is for economy but still like my toys inside

Hi mate, welcome!

Was the black dash trim bought new? If so, where did you source it? How much was it and do you have a part number?

I second that! Also was changing to the RCD 510 difficult and expensive? :/

Piece of p*** mate, it's plug and play. I specced mine with the RCD 510 but i'd contemplate retofitting one if I were you. The only difference will be you'll have 4 speakers instead of 6 (as far as I know).

But are they not wild expensive to get a hold off :/ Would love having one and then the gloss black surrounding it all

i found the dash trim on fleabay for 99p!
i was only bid,so chuffed with that!

rcd 510 is easy.
sorced from car audio place that had just taken it out of a 61 plate tiguan.
so got led display and dab at great price!

worked trim off with morrisons fuel card
4 torx screws out
unplugged 3 leads
connect them to new unit and slide it in
redo torx screws and snap in trim
switch on and put in code
only thing i cant do is alter brightness.
and dab is crap in norfolk!

I have the RCD 510, the only way I have been able to adjust the brightness is with the control by the steering wheel for the dash lights, and this is only with the lights switched on, also the radio has a light sensor on the front that dims it.
