Help - What stereo do i have ??
« on: 31 July 2007, 20:28 »
Hi all

i am looking at getting an ipod adapter to fit into my head unit.

not too sure which on i have , basically i think its the uprated one as it holds 6 cds in the dash direct through the head unit.

is this the RCD500..?

Many thanks

Hi yes it mk 5

The stereo holds all the cds inside it - no external cd changer...

What is RCD500 then? I thought it was a dash mounted 6 cd autochanger like the Audi symphony unit? :huh:
