Helped lads thankyou.new subscriber 👍👍

Does this work if you go from RNS310 to this radio with Dynaudio sound package, or do you need different cables/coding or it won't work at all?
Dyna audio isn't compatible with any android systems from what I know but maybe there's a new one that is compatible and I don't know about it. But to be honest the sound quality is still extremely good even without Dyna audio on
Did you find out anything about this? I have the same setup.
This one works with it you just some people say you need to tweak the amp settings to get it to sound perfect but even without adjusting them it still sounds really good.
Great video thanks mate
👍🏾💯
The good thing about this video is that it’s very helpful for people who’s looking for how to insert the screen.
The bad thing is the screen in the video it’s android screen, never buy android car screen, it gives many problems to the car because its not original.
It happened to me.
Yeah this one doesn't give any issues. I don't suggest products that will cause any issues and if they do but I still recommend them then I clearly state that issues you're going to encounter with the install of that product. But yeah thanks for the feedback 💯💯
@@Fizzy.g bro will this fit for a 2007 VW polo
There are many versions of android screens alot are bad but there are also good ones. I only recommend good items in my videos. If you want to DM me and I can show you're or even check out midnight performance UK on insta that's where I got mine from the link is in my description if you're interested
Unfortunately it won't but see if they have one
Top job buddy
Thanks
Hi does the parking sensors come on the screen?? Where from you have bought it? Thanks
The rear view camera does come up when you go into reverse and parking sensors will work if your car has them fitted. The link for it is in the description it's a new model of the one I have since my one has been discontinued
You can get trim removal sets, that make it easier not to break stuff..
Yeah I know. Also these clips for the fascia will always break they're designed in a really stupid way where the actual force applied to the plastic parts are too high when removing it so they are bound to break at some point
Great video 👍
💯
hey man, great video! just wanted to ask if this would fit a MK6 Jetta? and if it came with any manual on how to reboot it and all
Yeah it will fit a Mk6 Jetta. I think It came with a manual on how to use it but I just threw it away😂😂. It just runs normal android like on a smartphone so its really easy to use
Really good video
Thanks 💯
Hello. Could you tell me please what model is required for the main connection block adaptor? I've noticed there are 2 models, 40 pin and 52 pin , which one fits the mk6 radio socket?
52 pin
Both come with the unit.
Hey, could you help me out? I have similar radio to yours and it is already connected and works fine, but i have issue with red/yellow wire probably because sometimes it turns on by himself when the car is turned off and without contact. I tried to find it somewhere in setup but it's not a option in there. Thanks in advance
Oh that's odd. Check in the cables some have a wire that has a connector in he middle and some need that to be disconnected for some models
Do the parking sensors still work and show up like they used too
I am planning to build 1 in my vw polo. But was wondering if I should disconnect the battery before building the radio in?
Aslong as the key is out the car so ignition is off the it'll be fine but if you want to yeah disconnecting the battery will be fine👍
Bruh its a video i really needed.. Thanks you already made it. Could u please guide me can i fit external reverse camera with it and which gps you are suggesting with it. Can you please find me its link as well.. Much appreciated ❤️
Yeah bro a reverse camera can be fit to it. I'm going to make a video when I fit mine and I'll add a link in the description for which GPS to buy
Thanks for the vid. How did you change the button to waze. Also, the tone button seems to have a completely different function on mine to in tbe video, and is there any way i can bring that back?
The tone button is for the amplifier. The one in the description is a newer model so features will be a little different
So I’ve just installed my new headunit, however it doesn’t turn off when I switch the ignition off or turn on and I have todo it manually. It stills connects to it when I’ve switched it off and am unsure if it’s draining my battery in the night.
There's an orange and red cable in the middle of that cable will be a joint. Disconnect that
The 2 radio antenna wires that go into the white tab clip....the tab has broke off mine..any ideas how I can get it out..cheers
Hmm that's an awkward one the best chance is get a tiny screwdriver and slowly wiggle it out
would this fit a 2009 MK6 golf? And can i skip songs and make calls when connected to my phone using the screen?
Yeah it'll fit my Mk6 golf is 2009 aswell and it allows you to skip songs, make and receive phone calls etc.
Hey man, do the parking sensors work with this screen without the camera?
What was the cable at the bottom left for I didn’t see you plug that in next to the radio antenna
That's just the GPS it just spins on.
Bro, the link for the head unit isn’t the same one as your fitting, do you have any info on your headunit please?
Yeah bro the one in the link is an updated version of the same head unit. It's the latest one and the one I have had been discontinued now and been replaced by the one in the link
Sup man I have a question do my car kinsa got flodded recently and my Bluetooth doesn’t work anymore with Bluetooth module under the seat if I order this one will I still need that or does it come with Bluetooth already?
This one has Bluetooth built in
Is it works with oem car front/rear parking sensors ? and display this waves wich sensor is closer to obstacles?
Yeah it does work with them
Which one is now the best for mk6? I like the mat finish so it looks oem once installed.
Both of the ones in the description both are high quality and have that good OEM look but the one with the cd slot will look a bit more oem than the other one
Really good video. Do you have any advice on how to fit the external GPS you linked?
It just screws onto the back and I passed the GPS into my glove box
How did you change the lights colour to red ?
Grate video!
They start in red but if you go into the setting you can change it
Great video mate helped me out alot today. The usb port that you tucked away behind the glove box what's that used for? My camera didn't come in the box so waiting on that coming but wondering how the reversing camera is connected to the car itself knowing when it's in reverse etc..
The radio actually knows because it's connected to the computer in the car so you just need to plug the camera in and it'll know when it's in reverse. And the usb port is just if you want to use it for a usb to listen to songs off of or to charge your phone but it does charge kinda slow as it's mainly a data usb not a charger port so it doesn't receive much power
Cheers for reply. My van wasn't in use for a few days and woke up to my battery drained Ive seen people complaining about this in relation to the new units they install. Is this because I haven't hard wired it into the battery? I noticed from your video you haven't too. Looking for the unti to cut off when I take the keys out the ignition
Some units differ. My one is the older variant that's discontinued. If yours is draining the battery there is usually a cable that has a piece that joins in the middle. Look alone the back of the radio loom and see if any have a joint where it can be disconnected. Take it out and then try and that should fix the problem
Did u sort the issue out mate@@bluestoneryan
Do you know how to chnage the light colour?
do you have the link from where was bought this car radio?
The link is in the description bro
Will my parking sensors still work with this unit? Because the original stereo shows how close to a car I am
Yeah this will work with your parking sensors
I want to take out my original sat nav system that came with my Vw Jetta that has parking sensor to put in my Vw golf mk6 is it the same process?
It should be the same to change the system over. If you want the parking sensor to work then you'll need parking sensors in the golf but other than that the normal satnav system should work in the golf
@@Fizzy.g cheer quick reply 💯
Do you think you could rewire one USB to the small glove box on drivers side as well as one to the usual glove box?
Yeah you could it'll just be a bit awkward to run
@@Fizzy.g I was thinking that but be nice to have one each side I think!
hi, do you have any idea how to switch the lights on the buttons.thanks
not all stereos have it but it should be in the settings
Bro i recently brought this exact same car golf mk6 tsi 2009 and ik its a stupid question but where dyu plug in the AUX input wire in the car to listen to tunes or does it not have one
There should be an aux port on the arm rest it's on the outside like u could kinda say it's behind the handbrake. That's for the stock one if you have an aftermarket radio basically just plug the wires in and run the aux to wherever you want, I put mine in the glovebox, and use it from there
@@Fizzy.g nah i dont think mine is the aftermarket one cos the radio stereo is the RCD210 model but the car dont have an arm rest in the middle thats why i cant find the aux port
Hi Cheers! Very useful vid! Do you have any clue whether this affects the self parking system? Thanks!
It shouldn't have any effect on the self parking system
i ve just got a similar one installed but im enable to control it using the steering wheel.. the 2 wire that supposed to be connected to steering wheel came cut though!!
?
@@Fizzy.g it worked
Hi can you send me the link for exact same one as yours or could you tell me the name of it because the ones in the descriptions are different
The model I have has been discontinued as it is the older model. I put the newer better models in the description
Does somebody know is everything same for golf 6 plus? Can I just order for golf 6 infortaiment
Yes a golf 6 radio will fit your golf plus
If you had sensors on car will it show a visual view on the head unit?
Yeah it will show them
Did you have to connect the blue spare antenna wire to boost the signal ? Do you know Where's best to connect it , cheers
I'm not sure which part you're on about. I fit this a long time ago so I can't remember
Funnily enough I've just asked the same question....what did you end up doing with the blue wire?..it's a phantom power supply for the built in signal amplifier that much i have worked out lol
Thank you so much bro, appreciated learnt something from you👍
What make and model of this android system?
You won't be able to get the exact one I have as it has been discontinued however I have linked other good ones that are similar in the description
@@Fizzy.g nice one bro👌
Will this fit for my 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SE?
Appreciate the upload, been looking at loads of head units, I'm pretty much sold on this unit. Question.
Is all that stuff in the head unit or is it from the phone? Does it need to be via a cable or is it fully BT.
Thanks in advance
Is all what stuff in the head unit? And yeah it can work fully with Bluetooth you don't need to use the aux or USBs I only plugged them in because I'm going to use them
@@Fizzy.g Waze, RUclips etc .. are those from the BT phone connection or are they on the head unit... How does the RUclips work?
Appreciate the reply.
Oh yeah that just works exactly like a phone you just have to use your personal hotspot on your phone
@@Fizzy.g brilliant, curious how Spotify works on the unit.. I'll keep a eye for your next video. Thanks again.
Could you help me. I have this unit and when I put my indicator on it activates the reverse screen on the unit it also does this when I press the hazards
Any help would be great
oh that really odd. if its one you got from the description then this shouldn't happen. it sounds like an issue with the canbus or maybe something in the settings
Do you find the problem i have same
Can i see the details from engine from this radio ? Like oil tempreture water or boost?
with an obd bluetooth adapter yes this is possible
Did you add a dab dongle? If so how do you connect it to original aerial,
I don't use dab one it. but I know people just use it through the internet so you just download a dab app and use that
Great video, it is a great up grade
Thanks💯
Will one of these work with the factory VW reversing camera?
Yeah from what I know it should do
Will this unit show front and reverse parking sensor buzzer sound?
Yeah it does
is it good for an mk3 polo? I’m trynna find an ok model to upgrade mine, make it feel a little less old! Thank you in advance :)
its good for a mk5 polo its doesnt fit the mk3
What harness did you use? and did it work with the steering wheel audio controls?
It comes with all the necessary cables and yeah it works with the wheel controls
Can you get carplay on this one?
Do your parking sensors still work when u replaced it with the old 1?
I haven't got parking sensors on mine
Hey bud, great video, would this be the same with a Skoda superb 2014? And if it could u recommend me a link for 1? I looked in the descriptions but couldn’t see any on the website? Thanx
Hi, I'm not too sure just message midnight performance about it they should be able to help
Great vid !
Can I ask you for the exact model of the navigation ?
It should be linked in the description
Thz bro
💯💯
Fizzy I my daighter as the same screen and its gone a bit fuzzy... any fixes you'd recommend
Which screen is it? It's probably a connection at the back make sure nothing is loose
Does anyone know how to wire the screen to the ignitioin as my screen stay on when the cars is off
Check in the setting menu and also check the wires sometimes theres a wire with a connector in the middle of it.
Hello friend I have the same multimedia as you, I have a problem, I would install a reverse camera, but I don't have a user manual from that radio to know how to connect the cables, so I would ask you if you have a user manual from that radio, could you help me and send me an e-mail?
Greetings
I haven't got a user manual either. I am going to connect my reverse camera soon. From what I know you just plug it in and it works, it goes directly into the back of the radio
how is it after couple of months? Is it still as fast?
How do you connect to wifi? you open a hotspot on your phone?
Yeah it's still fast. It only slows down when it's doing updates and you have like 5 apps open but for my I just have Spotify and maps open most of the time and its always responsive and yeah I just use a hotspot from my phone. I've left links for some in the description if you do want to buy one.
@@Fizzy.g cannt open that link with CD
Oh has it gone🤦🏽♂️ I'll find another one and update it tonight. If I forget just remind me
I just changed the link it should be working now
@@Fizzy.g u can still just listen to music via Bluetooth right ? Not necessarily with Hotspot
What happened to the parking sensor?
How does it connect to your phone, has it got a built in bluetooth reciever?
Yeah it has Bluetooth
does this work with front and back parking sensors i have the same radio you took out but golf plus
Yeah it does work with them
@@Fizzy.g is it visual on the screen or just sound cheers
Visual and sound
Do you know what’s the code? Cuz I keep on having problem and my radio turns off after 1 min every time?
If it's the original radio that came with the car the car should eventually unlock the radio after a few mins if not I think you can get codes for it on eBay or maybe the manufacturer
Would this unit fit & work in a mk3 scirroco
Yeah
This is brilliant as it's what I want to do with my 2010 scirocco.. but does the Google maps not work without the antenna and where is the antenna situated in your car? I only use Google maps on my phone and would be brilliant if I could use it on this.. does that work without the antenna etc? And also does it connect to steering wheel controls?
It does have apple car play so if you use that then it should work without the gps antenna and if u do need to get one later they're only around £10. I put mine in the glovebox it's really simple just run it through that gap. And yeah the radio works with all the steering controls
@@Fizzy.g your a pure life saver with your video thank you so much.. I have a Samsung android phone I don't have an iPhone so I might just get one aswelk while I'm getting it cause my other half is gonna install it for me so he can do the whole thing together.. thank you so much for all the help your after saving me so much hassle and stress and of course money
It also has android auto so it'll work well with your android phone. The link for the radio is in the description and yeah if any problems with fitting it just let me know and I'll try my best to help
@@Fizzy.g yes i have the radio in my basket on amazon do thank you so much .. I will I'll keep you posted on how it goes thanks a million 😊
Hiya... I'm delighted I have my new radio installed in My car now and it's perfect t.... I can't figure out how to hotspot off my phone for Google maps etc
Every time my car turns off my radio stays on and the radio also doesn’t turn on as soon as the car turns on I have to turn it on myself. Also it is draining my battery any ideas why
Check the cables some radios require a wire to be unplugged for certain vehicles
Any ideas how to identify which wire to disconnect? I have similar problem with different head unit
It should be in between the cables they'll be a joint
Great content and well delivered.
Are UK road maps installed and does it have free SatNav?
Can you fit a sim card, or do you have to use your phone data?
Would you consider doing a “3 month after using” review?
New sub ;-)
Thanks it means alot and it does have pre installed maps but I would recommend using Google maps or Waze as they are much better than the stock map app. It has no SIM card slot I just use my hotspot from my phone and Yeah I could do a 3 month after review if you want. Just let me know which kind of things you'll like me to include in it
@@Fizzy.g cheers! I’m looking at buying 1 on the bay, it’s £115, which seems a bargain for a brand new upgrade! If you could do a vid on the most frequent used apps, and which parts of it you’ll never use. 3 months would be a good time period to get to know the kit, and gauge wether or not it’s worth it overall. I’m still 50/50 on wether I should spend my hard earned cash, funds are tight right now!
Yeah that's fine. I'm a bit busy right non with some uni work but I should be able to get that video out within the next few weeks
@@Fizzy.g where i can find original radio like yours?
That actual original radio or the new one that I installed?
Hi mate got the same head unit for my polo but the head unit stays on when I switch the ignition off any tips how to fix this issue?
There's an orange and red cable within the main loom it has a joint in the middle you'll want to disconnect that and make sure the canbus box is plugged in.
Hi does it also work with the parking sensors and steering wheel controls or not thanks..?
It will work with anything that's on the CANBUS of the car. So, at least in VW (and Skoda, and SEAT etc) anything that showed up on the old screen, will show up on the new one. This includes door status and parking sensors. If you have a different make, it depends on if your car uses CANBUS for parking sensors and such. Most do by the way.
The same goes for steering wheel controls and the detection of you putting the car into reverse (for activation of the rear view camera and/or the parking sensors display).
For factory fitted rear view camera's you'll need an adapter. The radio itself does support it - the adapter merely converts the signal to something that the radio can understand.
If you don't already have a camera, you can add one that uses an RCA plug (yellow tulip plug - if you're over 30 years old you'll know them from hooking up older games consoles to TVs) as this is what the radio accepts. the radio will automatically show the camera's image when you put the car into reverse.
One thing: DAB is optional on these units. The software is there, but you need an optional USB dongle to enable reception. Places that sell these AVISON radios usually also sell the dongles. They're not very expensive. Make sure you get one for the UK (if you're in the UK) or one for the EU (if you're in the EU) as they're different. You won't get all the channels if you pick the wrong one!
If FM reception is bad, you can choose to add an optional FM booster that fits into the back of the radio. You'll need to take the radio out again to fit it though - so you might choose to pick one up just and install it just to be sure. It can't hurt of course and it's only about £20.
Yeah and all the adapters you can get them on the link I put in the description just contact them and they can sort them out
I've installed one of these now my steering controls don't work any ideas?
There's probably a cable that's in the wrong place or maybe it's a defective one. Did you buy one of the radios in the description because the steering wheel buttons do work with them
When I turn off the car, does the radio automatically turn off?
Yeah bro it does turn off with the car
Hi, Does it support with parking sensor?
Yeah the ones in the description support parking sensors and a reverse camera
@@Fizzy.g thank you
I have a 09 golf 1.4 tsi se. If I put this in would it connect to my phone through Bluetooth?
Yeah it will work with Bluetooth
@@Fizzy.g thanks mate
@@Fizzy.g would I not have to install anything else as my car doesn’t have bluetooth at the moment
Naa nothing else will need installing Bro. The head unit has Bluetooth built in
Does it have a usb input to maybe charge an iPhone?
Yeah it has 2 inputs
Will this work with a car that has steering wheel mounted radio controls ?
Yes it will
Just a tip don’t fully screw the radio back in until you have turned it on and everything works the way you want it
Oh yeah bro I already knew it worked and stuff but yh that's a good tip. Tbf it's only 4 screws anyway so it's not too bad on a golf
@@Fizzy.g Yeah oh just some people might even put the trim back in and stuff then realise a connector isn’t in right or something and have to take it all out again but great video 👍🏻
Hello mate I just bought a similar unit to this ? I'm wondering how did you change the launch is that hard to do ?
Hi. The launcher you change by just downloading nova launcher and then you can make it look like a normal android and the start up screen I changed from the settings i have an extra setting option that's password locked but in there I can change that
@@Fizzy.g how did you get into the extra settings
I just guessed the password 😂😂 I think it was 1234 or 7890

Hi Fizzy, might have missed it but what is the make/model of this unit? thanks in advance.
I've got the unit linked in the description
Also do you need the “GPS for the radio” in order to use maps or will maps still work?
You'll need a little GPS module. They only cost around £7 off ebay
@@Fizzy.g thanks for the rapid reply broski, is there a video showing where to install the GPS module cos I didn’t see you install one in this video?
I can't remember but I might have it on my second radio install video it's a bit more recent. Basically at the back of the head unit it screws on and then I passed it through a gap in the back left at the bottom and got it into my glove box

Plz help mi

i am planning to update my stereo, but was wondering if my steering controls would work?
Yeah the controls will work with the new system
@@Fizzy.g and the parking displays on the screen ?
I'm not sure about that as my car hasn't got the parking sensors. But it's from Amazon so I guess you could buy it test to see if it has it and if you wanna u can just send it back
@@Fizzy.g thank you
👍🏽
Is that radio connector a DAB or FM radio connector pal?
That's the oem FM connector but you can buy a dab antenna or just use data from your phone
Does it still use the microphone built into the car?
Yes it does if you already have one. If not it has one built into the unit which is pretty good
Great video bro it’s just what I’ve been looking for but just one quick question. Does it matter if you have an Apple or android phone to use this media screen?
It doesn't matter which phone you have it'll work with both
Where do you get the connecting cables for the stereo and what are they called
They come with the stereo
@@Fizzy.g what are they called?
