Updating to 2011.5 MY Climatronic/RCD310 units
Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2012 2:49 pm
Like many readers here and elsewhere on the internet, I was less than happy with the blue backlit LCD Climatronic and RCD310 display panels once the white on black variants were phased in.
I contacted CIT Carparts who told me that they were no longer selling the Climatronic panel due to unspecified fitting difficulties, and was unable to contact Campagnolo who appeared to have access to original Continental brand panels.
After much deliberation, I ordered the Climatronic panel from my local VW dealer. The correct part number for the white on black version is 6R0 907 044H and the cost (after a small discount) was £285.95.
An RCD310 with the correct white on black display was sourced from eBay for under £50.
Neither part required any modification to the vehicle and I am delighted with the improved appearance.
If any forum members would like any further information, I would be pleased to help.
