RCD 510 and CAN BUS gateway

Post by Ashwinw »

Hi

I purchased a RCD510 front loader and a CAN BUS gateway for my 2006 MK5 GTI.

The reason for purchasing the CAN BUS is because of the power drain issues that i'll have.

Is there anyone that would be able to install and program the new CAN BUS.

Or can you guys send me in the correct directions.

Thanks

Does anyone know how to overcome this power drain issue with an aftermarket radio in a Mk5. Or can anyone direct me to someone that could assist with it in the Cape Town area.

Is this not a common fix for these, something about another fuse on the battery or something....... sure it has been posted before.
