No!

Your RCD500 should say MP3 on the front, otherwise it ain't compatible.

on a side note, can you confirm that i definitely should have a radio code with the car ?, dealer is saying no but everyone else says yes, just need the ammo for when i speak to them

all VW's are supplied with a radio code on a card.

LOL, you mean there supposed to be supplied with one

I didn't get a radio code either and mines an '08. Apparently all new radios are paired to the chassis so unless you plan on using the radio in a different car you won't need the code. I had my battery disconnected to install my bluetooth kit and when I powered everything back up the radio just turned on without looking for the code as would be the case for older units requiring a code everytime the power is disconnected for an extended period.

My dealer said the same... no code... all held on VW database.

cheers folks, to be fair to my dealer he has said if i remove the radio and give him the serial number he will get me the code (he did offer to get it removed and check it for me but i declined LOL)
