Goodmorning all,
After 2 1/2 years of having the stock radio I got VW to install me the RCD.
In the stock radio I would usually just play music through my iphone's ipod using a cable going through the center armrest AUX IN to the iphone and there after just pressing the AUX button on the stock radio. For some reason I cannot find that feature on the RCD, no AUX button and when I press MEDIA it tells me no MEDIA has been found. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Much appreciated, thanks.

No idea I didn't install it ... took it to the service department of VW and they did it.

Do you not have the USB iPod cable that plugs in under the arm rest?

I have the same stock radio (RCD-310) in my Rocco and really want the RCD-510. May I ask how much VW took for the whole thing? The 510 and the installation etc?

Re: Stock radio to RCD
If memory serves you need to enable the Aux in in one of the settings menus on the radio. btw the RCD-510 does not always come with the Media In. In the UK the Media In is standard with the RCD-510 on the Scirrocco but in South Africa the RCD-510 is an option but it does not include the Media In. You can have the Media In fitted by the dealer.
