Unfortunately you won’t find any simple way to activate the AUX-IN.
#Rcd 310 manual how to
Ok so I had to figure out how to activate this option. Under the section “ Schnittstelle“ you will read the mention “ AUX (wenn freigeschaltet)” which means “if activated”. You will notice that the full description of the car stereo mentions the fact that the AUX-In is an inbuilt feacture. The RCD 210 is in reality a Technisat (yeap I didn’t even know that Technisat also builds car radio systems) one. You will find this code in the car radio’s documentation you got from the garage. Note: You won’t need to unplug your car radio from the battery, but if you plan to do it or accidentally unplug the Quadlock you will need the car’s radio anti-theft activation code (4 digit code) to turn your radio on again. If you are afraid of screwdrivers, wires and clips please stop here and let a friend or a professional realize these operations for you. This tutorial was only written for a DIY purpose and may not replace the official steps done by a professional. I’m not responsible if you damage your car radio, scratch your frame or even corrupt your electronic system. That’s absolutely false ? Here are the explanations!ĭisclaimer: The steps presented on this page need good DIY skills in order not to damage your car radio frame and the plastic frames of the center console. The documentation states that you need the really expensive MEDIA-IN VW cable to enable this or to choose a more expensive car radio model. This radio system has according to the official Volkswagen car catalog no possibilities to have a connection with an AUX-In cable. Many new Volkswagen cars (Polo V, Golf VI) have the pre-installed car stereo RCD 210.
In this tutorial I will explain all the steps to extract your RCD 210 (will also work for RCD 310) car radio system in order to plug a AUX-IN cable so that you can listen to the tracks of your iPhone/Android Phone over your audio system via a 3.5 Cinch plug (Jack 3.5 mm).
