How poo does my RCD310 look

[gossa]

Had 310 in mine but it just looked wrong so I bought a 510 out of a MK6 GTI off ebay, it has the reversing camera input if i want to install that later.

Looks much better, sounds the same.

dashboard illumination is horrible in new vws. it's far too bright and garish.

i felt ill after driving a 09 passat estate around for a night. and also annoyed by the lack of steering wheel radio controls.

Do you think?  I think the new white dashboard illumination adds a touch of class... more in keeping with the facelifted Audi S3's and the like.

Each to their own I spose.

Sat in a MkIV golf yesterday, didn't like all the blue interior lighting at all. Just too much of it!

Red needles on blue dials wasn't a good look imo

Much prefer the white dials

Can't you just turn the intensity down with that rheostat thingy? I think white looks a lot better than hard-to-read blue.

the blue hurts your eyes after a while. Thats why im so glad the R's lights are white with electric blue needles.. even more glad the gti has switched to white too. Much softer on the eyes on long night journeys.

I was going to specify the 510 on mine as the test drive car had it. However, in the end, after the salesman had showed me through the features of a 310 I thought I couldn't justify the extra money as the 310 does exactly the same, just in mono rather than pretty colours.
More importantly I can't imaging it being worth a penny extra come selling time.

Agree with you on that one.  I don't believe the RCD310 is any less of a unit when it comes to playing the music, it's just better looking.  This was also confirmed by the VW Salesman but then again, what do they know?

Does it also tell you the track details on the multi function computer? I've just noticed this from the picture posted.

looking at the 310 again on full screen (was using a blackberry b4), it doesn't look too bad.  the blue is actually a lighter blue which looks good

however in the daytime the 310 does look a bit dowdy
