I am just about to install a similar head unit in my 2014 tdi
You just saved me a LOT of research and stress, thanks mate
Looks good!!
Thanks
my question is what about the car setting you usually access from the radio. like tyre pressure reset etc, are they still available?
My car never had Features like that so I can't access things like that on the new headunit
Will the instrument panel still work after installing a different radio?
Yes
Where did you put your antena GPS?
It's behind the headunit, I would put it near the windscreen but I always connect my phone to the headunit so I never have a need for the antenna
How long does it take to turn on when the car turns on ?
It takes around 30secs to fully turn on.
You can set it on sleep mode so everytime you turn the car off it just goes to sleep that way when you turn the car back on it starts up instantly. ( if you don't drive your car often this will run your battery down )
Wireless as in android auto wireless bro this radio is sick 😮 how much are they?
Yea bro android auto wireless and apple car play wireless its so convenient. I got mine for £200 might be a bit cheaper now though as I got it back in March 2022
@@RCS_716 thanks for responding just sent you a message on insta 👍
yo just wondering how much both of you guys pay for insurance and how long you've had the licence for, cheers

Atm I'm paying £700 a year for my insurance ( all mods declared )
I've had my licence for just a little over 5 years
I bought my polo with a different radio in it it had a metal bracket holding it in place . does this one still need the head unit bracket or will it just fit in normally , hope that makes sense not sure how to word it
This one will fit in normally, this doesn't need a metal bracket
@@RCS_716 thanks for the reply , what did you do with the USB ports that come with it? did you just tuck them behind ?
I didn't plug them in because I already had a usb port I put in myself but since then I've connect the usb that came with the headunit so I can use wired carplay and android auto aswell as the wireless.
I made a video of me doing it but I never finished it, I'll see if I can find the footage and finish of that video and I'll upload it
@@RCS_716 thanks mate , and just to double check , this is a wireless apple car play isn't it ? i.e I don't need to connect my phone to a usb to allow car play to work?
Yes it's wireless. You do not need to connect any cable to your phone to use the carplay or android auto.
But you can use a cable if you want to ( but I don't see why you would since using the wireless is so much more convenient lol )
Do the parking sensors work on this even if u don’t buy the camera?
My car doesn't have parking sensors so I can't say foe certain but I believe the sensors will still make a noise and the bars will probably show you how close you are to something but you just won't see what your close to 🤣
@@RCS_716 Thank you for the response, I’ve bought one so I’ll just have to wait and see 😂
Np :) im pretty sure it should be ok, if not can always return it tho
Anyone had any trouble with it draining the car battery?
Also can you get the radio to work on it?
You'll only have battery problems if you have the fast boot option enabled because that never fully turns it off, it just puts it in a sleep mode. So if you don't drive your car regularly then the battery will die eventually.
Yes you can listen to the radio on it, I don't listen to the radio so I haven't messed with it that much but when I've clicked on the radio channels it plays that channel so I'll deem that as working.
