RCD 300 (mk5) and Aux connection help required....

[DanoGTI]

I've also posted this on mk5GolfGTI.co.uk, but thought I might get a slightly wider audience here -  plugged this cable in (thanks to the great FAQ)... however, can't get it to activate.

I thought you just had to press "CD" twice to enable the aux function......

There is a black connector in the packet - an 18-pin black block connector - I didn't actually see where this could go though. I think it's for the SatNav version.

Am I missing something?

cannot see how that would work as it needs some form of ciruit to fool the h/u into thinking there is still a changer fitted
i have supplied these before and never had an issue

can you post pics of the bits you did not use

[DanoGTI]

LOL - just my luck! thankfully only cost me £8

Don't want to spend much as I'm looking at a new H/U to replace the AWESOME rcd300 







Any thoughts?

absolutely no idea what thats for

[DanoGTI]

So by the looks of it, there's no "cheap" way to integrate a 3.5mm input into the RCD 300? Correct?


(ps thanks Troublestarter )

[troublestarter]

the only way is the correct way

[DanoGTI]

fair enough

I'll have to wait and bin the VW stuff. Do it properly then
