Fine, you convinced me. I ordered one.  :whistle:

I will wait for your review  :smiley:

So it's arrived and to be honest, I don't think I will use it.
Have you got a picture of yours fitted?
It is far to big and in your face, really not sure if I like it or not.

I looked into this. My car also has Dynaudio and reverse camera. From what I could tell, the RCD330 should work fine with Dynaudio but it does not look like a straight swap for the reverse camera. I gave up on my research last time but might revisit in the future!

The Dynaudio shouldn't have any special loom for a head unit, all that is taken care of at the amp on under your boot floor with the sub.

With the reverse camera, the RCD330 should form memory have an input via RCA.

Golf mk8 / Re: mk8.5 GTI road noise

Carbon GTD - thanks for reporting back and glad that the tyre swap has made the car more liveable with.

I drove a few other cars on Friday; a 320i, C class estate and an A4 Avant and it seems to me that your point about the lack of sound deadening in the GTI 8.5 is relevant; none of those cars had the kind of roar and boomy resonance that the GTI can have on rough roads making it so hard to live with for some. My partners 2024 Polo also has it on rough roads so perhaps it's a problem across the range.

I had the new set of Pirelli P ZERO PZ5's fitted to my GTI yesterday.  Went out for a decent run this morning as the weather was good here - yes there is a definite improvement (esp in ride quality plus slight noise drop) - it is early days and this feedback is based on a single 20 mile mixed test drive this morning, but I don't regret paying for the early switch in tyres at all (particularly as there was a 20% off price deal on the PZ5's at the moment).   Will see how the new tyres bed in properly over the next few weeks - given my car is only on standard 18" rims I still think the passive dampers set up is too hard on the 8.5 (and that there has been too much sound deadening stripped out of the car) but it feels like this switch in tyres means I can now enjoy the car (whereas on the noisy hard riding OEM Bridgestones I would find myself getting annoyed at it on just about every trip).

Golf mk8 / Software glitches? Anyone experienced these
« Last post by Skyered on 15 March 2026, 13:38 »
Golf gti mk8.5 - steering heating set to turn on automatically when outside temperature is cold is not turning on at all even though display is saying it is on. Sat nav not booting up on start up - saying starting and shows blanked out map with twirling disc. Sat nav position also out by 100-200m. Switching car on vague outline of display rev and speedo and infotainment screen showing only background colours and tiles - car would not start. This cleared after 20 seconds. Anyone experienced these glitches? Anyone had these fixed with major software update ps4? Understand needs to be in dealer for 2 days to do this....any advice appreciated, thx

There is no difference aside from the paint colour! I’ve no idea why it’s called out like that in the configurator and clearly VW don’t know either. It’s just another configurator oddity.
