Title: RCD 310 to 510 - Is it a DAB model?
Post by: T30GUE on 16 September 2012, 15:54

Hi All,
Picked up a 2010 candy White 3dr last night from VW Chester. It currently has the RCD 310 radio fitted which I would like to upgrade. Have seen several RCD 510s for sale but not sure if I have a DAB version fitted (no DAB markings on buttons or fascia?)

Is DAB std fit on later model GTis?  - Mine does have the later LED tails

Supposed I 'm not really bothered if it has DAB or not - just want to purchase and install the correct RCD 510 for the car.  :smiley:

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

You just need to press the radio button AFAIK and scroll through the bands i.e FM,AM, DAB?

DAB is the top right button on the RCD510 (http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6152/6195524453_287ba6966d_b.jpg)

Haha that bugs me sometimes, you have to turn it when its off and using the steering wheel controls.

Glad I'm not the only one that lines the volume button up!
