Installing a 2017 Polo Radio into a 2013 MK5 Polo?

Post by stereojay »

Hi All,

Hoping somebody can tell me whether a 2017 polo Composition Colour radio will fit into a 2013 Polo which currently has the RCD210 radio.


I suspect it might, then you would just need to change the fascia trim, but would like some expert advise.


Many Thanks

Howzit bud. Save yourself the huge headache. There is a oem style mib 2 Android version on the market. Way better than our 2017 polo radios.

Contact Jabba from Jab sport he stocks them.

If recall correctly its R7500 fitted.

Epic radio.

Better luck with Chris_FZ's option - unless you've circumvented component protection, you're wasting your time
