RCD330 (CarPlay) into Polo 6R

Hi all,
I have a question regarding the RCD330 unit (With CarPlay). I would like to upgrade to this head unit as my 2012 Polo 6R is currently fitted an RCD210 which is fairly basic and also has no way of playing music through an external device like an iPhone.
I would like to upgrade to the RCD330 (With CarPlay), is this possible? And where can I buy one OEM that will work 100% in the UK?
Many thanks,
Ben

Hello,
I fitted the following into my polo and it is by far the best around for a retrofit, from what research I have done they are genuine VW as the marking on the device and internal markings show all the VW codes but from china.

I have fitted them to my fleet of transporters (12 in total) and in the golf and polos I have for my on the road sales guys, all working a charm and absolutely fantastic, should have a picture somewhere of one fitted to a polo

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick and detailed response, useful stuff! I will order one right away.
Just out of curiosity, did you retrofit that Multi-Functional steering wheel as well? Mine came with the basic steering wheel and have been looking to upgrade.

No worries, need anything else relate dot them just let me know
No luckily the Multi-Functional steering wheel was fitted already, they are just plug and play the only thing you need is a fakra adaptor

Where can I find one? And what does the adapter do exactly?

It’s for the aerial, the radio only has one connector the one fitted to your car at present has two, Amazon is a good place

Ok I understand. Is the instillation relatively easy? And also, is the link you sent me the one you bought? It says only 2 have been sold.

I noticed your based in London, if you want I have the 2 to 1 adapter my last one in physical stock.
I can assist with fitting the RCD 330, to your VW Polo 6R for a small fee if that helps.
If your interested, please send me a PM.

I’m looking to buy and install the same system. Can someone pls help?
I want CarPlay and Android auto.
Also - is it true that the station names do not come up and that you can only see the frequency when using FM?
Thanks,
Ben
