RCD 310

Post by Mr.G24 »

Hi

who on the forum can i speak to that knows VW radios and the installion? My 2009 jetta does not have an AUX socket in the car, so there is no input for me in the armrest, center console or in the glovebox, my RCD 210 radio also does not have the AUX function when i press media, so there is no AUX available for me.Is this in the wiring harness like this or just the fact that the radio does not support AUX?

i want to buy a RCD310 radio that has the AUX function under media, but this still does not solve my problem for having an AUX socket whereby i can plug my phone in via a 3.5mm jack and listen to music from there.

so i want to know, should i buy the RCD310 radio, can i buy a AUX cable connector and plug that in at the back of the radio and insert the AUX socket in one of the blacks i have in my center console? Do i have to buy these from EBAY or does VW sell them and will it work, does the radio cater for this add in?

i really need your help in this regard and some advise and feedback.

thanks

Go speak to a car radio installer. They would be better suited to your needs.

As far as my knowledge goes, what you require will be 100% possibly and easily DIY'd but then again some of us are useless at doing things like that.

thanks,, i just need to know if it will work, due to me not having a factory fitted AUX socket in the jetta and by changing the radio to one that has AUX function, surely it must work, as the radio gives you your AUX function and not the wiring loom or plug that goes to the radio.

that would be great, is this the ones you buy from EBAY or are they available here locally?

Jees you aren't very resourceful. Just call any VW dealership and speak to the parts guy.

I'm saying you will need the part number if you order from somewhere OTHER than VW.
