The RCD330 Radio upgrade for the MK6 GTI and Golf is hands down the best money I've spent on this car when it comes to creature comforts.
Got mine on Amazon for $250: amzn.to/39BZXml now $369 but still worth it! Torx T20 screwdriver: amzn.to/2Zit0ZR
This one has Android Auto confirmed: amzn.to/34RaNbi
If the one I got is out of stock this is the same unit: amzn.to/3qGARvE
Would also recommend a plastic trim removal tool like this: amzn.to/38s17Aq
Waterless car wash I use: amzn.to/3nWzIQ7
00:00 The review
01:20 No Wireless CarPlay
01:37 Using Bluetooth
02:23 Dynaudio
03:05 Installation
Adding Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can really make your car feel 10 years newer with a simple DIY installation that takes less than 30 minutes.
The only thing I miss from my older 1K0035274 unit is the built in navigation. Although Waze, Google Maps and Apple Maps all work really well.
Thanks to ‪@Hayderz‬ for their video "The BEST Mk6/Mk5 App Radio Head Unit // Install + Review" which is what originally led me to this head unit!

    Nice mention about the Dynaudio! I have the headunit as well with dynaudio for the last couple months. One thing i did notice is a bit of sound quality loss. The EQ adjustments for bass feels like it's adjusting the lower mids from the dynaudio headunit. Aside from that and a few other quirks, it's a solid purchase.

    This video is actually how I discovered the RCD330's existence, and after just freshly installing my own unit into my 2015 Beetle, I can say that it is extremely worth the price! As he said in the video, the installation was easy and all the functions from before like the steering wheel controls and AM/FM radio are maintained. Android Auto also works flawlessly for me with my Pixel 4 XL. For anyone wanting to modernize your older VW, I'd say this is the perfect way to do it without breaking the bank!

    @@jusegozu The 2016+ model year Beetles utilize the MQB-style plugs for the radio, and all of them have MIB units in them, at least here in the States. I know the base models don't come with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto in all cases, but unfortunately the RCD330 would not be a simple plug & play with newer models and would require quite a bit of adapters and such. It probably would be best to buy a new MIB2 unit directly from VW if you want to keep the OEM look and functionality.

    It really seems that easy, as it is assigning itself to the 56 Radio. In the case of the creator you will still get an error in the gateway (control unit 19) as it is missing the 37-Navigation. And if you want to have telephone showing up in your speedometer add the 77 control unit, just in case you didnt have one before. For all of you who want to keep your car clean of errors, remember you will need someone with a tool like VCDS to remove the 37 from your gateways intallation list if you previously had a navigation system installed. For those of you who still want a navigation system, the Discover Media PQ is your choise. Today it can be unlocked via software quite easy. With it you will get navigation, a radio, carplay, usb ... This unit can be either be installed as 37-Navigation, 56-Radio and 77-Telephone or you can just map it as 5F-Information Electrionics 1 (MIB2) if you updated your gateways software and hardware (7N0 907 530 B? , be carefull if you have or want to have assistence systems(55-Xenon Lights, 3C Lane Change, 13 ACC or A5-Camera)THEN YOU WILL NEED ONE WITH HW INDEX AN, SW can be flashed for these up to BR). If you have traffic sign recognition you will have to replace your camera as well (new Camera: 3Q0 980 654 (L)), bringing some new problems but also really nice features like adaptive steering to your PQ vehicle. If you want to have more details how, just ask me :)

    @@shouldigetit If you mean the screen in the speedometer, when it is not showing any information of the radio there then must be a coding error in the RCD330. There should be an option in ODB11 or VCDS called "Messaging via Map" (At least in the Discover Media PQ it is called like this). This will activate the communication with the speedometer again and Radio and Music should show up. Even though there is no coding required for it to work, that does not mean your car doesn't throw any errors. You are not informed about every error in your car. In your case i am 99% shure, that your gateway (Unit 19) has the error "Control unit wrong coded" as it is missing the navigation system of your RNS3XX. Its not a critical error, but still it should be corrected by removing 37-Navigation from your installation List.

    Really nice video. Couple of questions. Looking to upgrade my 2009 VW Tiguan that came with factory Premium 7, Dynaudio, Sirius and No backup camera. Hoping this is plug and play as you say. I am assuming I would just leave my Sirius cable disconnected and just use the Sirius App on my iPhone. Couple of questions for you. 1) Your section showing you use the steering wheel buttons - Can you use the "Phone Button" to answer calls from the steering wheel? I only saw you use the button for Siri and also adjust the volume. Do you have a backup camera? If not, do you get the message on the screen saying "No Camera" when you go into "Reverse"? 3) Call quality w/ the built-in mic - how is it? 4) At night, do the buttons illuminate Red? I hope so as my 2009 has the rid illumination vs the white. Lastly 5) Now that you have had the unit installed for over 1.5 years, how is everything working? Thanks very much. Once they are back in stock I will be ordering from your link in the desc.

    I really wish there was an upgrade path that was this easy with the mk7. I have a 2015 Golf, and the MIB1 radio is pretty meh. I'm currently putting all the bits together to upgrade to the MIB2 for Carplay plus all the extra goodies, but it's $$$. If you have a mk5/6/Beetle/Passat, this is a great upgrade!

Also I’m an Airbag error in my car so I’m kind of stuck right now and I would hate to have to return this unit because I want Apple CarPlay. Also I have two cables left over I’m assuming one is for the built in Mac but I don’t know what the other is for and if it’s essential. And I have two cables left over is that normal?

    I believe it will yes! There are a few other videos I've seen on youtube of the more "standard" radio being replaced by this.

    Does the reverse camera work without having to get dongles, adaptors and re-wiring etc?

    Yeah it includes the 1 adapter needed to plug in the reverse camera.

    Any updates or glitches of the unit up to now? I’ve heard a lot of people needing to return it and get a new one. What’s your experience? Do you still have it to this day? Does it still perform like it does from the beginning??

    Hey Justin, good question! I am driving my car a lot less now due to Covid and also buying a Porsche Cayenne Turbo recently but this head unit still works as well as it did day 1 for me. No issues thankfully. Bluetooth connection is good, charges my phone 100% of the time, Apple CarPlay works well, etc.
