Has it been reliable? What advantages/disadvantages are there? What features does it have? And what alternatives are available for our cars? Find out in this video!

I followed you back when we went to high school together and I just gotta say, youve got the perfect radio voice. 10/10
Thank you so much for reaching out! I'm really trying to perfect my "Radio Voice" :P
Thanks for info bro I’m getting an mk6 and definitely picking one up
It's like a mini restomodification for your interior.
The RCD330 has been one of the best upgrades I've made to my 2015 Beetle 1.8T, and I even recently installed a flip-badge backup camera to compliment it.
I would highly recommend anyone with an older VW to look into this upgrade if they want more connectivity, and also would like to add that buying a short braided cable and a good MagSafe dashboard or A/C vent mount to go with it cleans up everything nicely!
Hi, does it display rear camera together with sensors like it does on rns 510?
I just installed this radio plus the flip logo backup cam for my wife's 2014 Beetle. Installing the RCD-330 was incredibly straightforward, though wiring up the camera was a challenge. Sound quality is slightly worse than her old RCD-510 was, but convenience is way better.
Where did you source the camera from? Were you able to get the trajectory lines to move with the steering wheel?
Hi Tristan! Very nice videos you’ve made about this topic. I have a 2011 Skoda Superb and the original Columbus radio have broken. I am considering ordering the one you show. Did some research and my Skoda has something called “Sound system”. Not 100% sure what it means but I think the speaker system is somewhat upgraded or a more high quality option.. I have heard that this sound system can make the third party radio you show not compatible with my car. Do you have any details on this? I know it is only 300$, but still it is quite a lot money to take the risk. Thanks again for your nice videos!
Yo this is dope! Looking forward for buying this. For my Polo r6 2013. Going to the US (La) this year, but sending it home to Norway is 500$ extra on eBay. Where is the safest place to buy this?
I will install today 🤗
what about the sound quality?
I wonder, since my car (Skoda Octavia II) has proximity sensors on the back, if that would work with this or simular head unit
Is that works with VW golf 2005 ?
My wife’s iphone 15 pro doesn’t work with carplay in this rcd330. Comparing to my iphone 14 pro everything is fine. Do you know if there is a possibility to update software to support latest iphones?
Will this work with a VW's factory backup camera?
does show up the car menu, I have vw cc 2013
Does it work without steering wheel controls?
will this work in a 2015 Skoda Yeti >?
where to buy it from
i cant find rcd330 online can someone help?
You mentioned that the CAR button is gone in the RCD330 but that stuff is configured through the gauge cluster. My Polo 6R (PQ25) has the Car button with System settings like Set Wheel Pressure, Car Locking Settings, Service Reminders, etc. You show that the options are available on the gauge cluster screen but I don't think I have that option, neither do I have buttons on my steering wheel. Are these options not available in the RCD330? I wouldn't know how to change these settings without the CAR screen on the infotainment system.
Ok Nevermind. Turns out my Polo is the facelifted 6C version which runs on the PQ26 platform and has a different trim. This means i would need a trim replacement because the hole for the screen is not square and the rotary knobs are part of the trim area, not the infotainment "square area" as they are in the 6R version.
Please how to get one please from nigeria I have 2012 Jetta anybody please
Can we install amplifier and subwoofer on this head unit ?? Because i am currently running one with the retro head unit ?
There are modules that convert a signal from a speaker source to go to an amplifier, so really you can put an amp in any headunit ever made. Had one in my 2013 wrangler grabbing signal off the rear speaker.
Hey. What if a car has parking sensors? If I replace an inferior radio unit with this, would RCD330 still display parking sensor information?
hey, yeah, if you put in revers, the radio will show park pilot screen and you will see your sensors information. But only if your stock radio have that option.
Can I play music with bluetooth only? Or do I have to be connected with a usb as well?
USB for CarPlay, separate Bluetooth menu like stock vw
does anyone know if this specific head unit works for a 2010 vw golf gti?
yes it does (ie 6RD 035 187B Noname)
Where is a reliable place to purchase one?
Amazon but expensive
@@beatzzgaming1086Amazon won’t have the CarPlay and Android
EDIT: Ignore me, I've found the answer
