New Head Unit
« on: 09 March 2026, 07:22 »
Hi guys i’ve recently just got a MK6 Golf GTI (10 plate).. it has the standard head unit in, I was looking for some advice on what one to get that is decent and has car play on. I have a reversing camera and the dynoaudio system so i’d would like it to work with them too! Any help and advice welcome.. cheers
( sorry if this has been asked lots of times before)

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.

It does. But stock is RGB I think so not a direct swap. I might have been looking at the wrong advice but it looked quite a lot of work to get the RGB to RCA bits working.
