It would do if they speced the optional headunit from VW at extra cost.

If its a 2008 car then it wont have the rcd on the ebay advert you showed.. all 2008 vws have the facelifted stereos that look like the rns, it would have come with the new rcd310 as standard that plays mp3s as ive noticed at my local vw dealers. an eos was fitted with a dab/cd unit think that was an upgrade.

yes, the rcd500 is a radio with an internal six disc multichanger.
Without traction power is nothing!

i want to get rid of my rcd500 mp3, its ok but only plays certain format mps.. most of the time it stalls after like the first 10tracks when i use nero and roxio burner..

Ive tried other burners but still the same, cleaned the laser with 2dif types of lense cleaners but still no help  :huh:

Do you split your data CD into 6 separate folders (e.g by artist ?)   That stopped mine from skipping / stuttering

Other than that it is quite likely to be the media it does'nt like, so try different brand CD's

Maxell (gold ones) have worked best for me at a slow burn speed of x8
