    Definitive list of RCD510 Head Units...

    02-20-2012 02:58 PM #1
    Just wanted to know if there was a definitive list of the different versions of the RCD510 head unit at all?

    I've seen many various types with different button configurations, dependent on locations, i.e. if it's from the USA, from Germany, the UK or China for example.

    At last count it was about 5 or 6 different button configurations.

    I have recently purchased this one: RCD510: PN: 5ND 035 195



    I've seen these also: RCD 510:

    You missed this one. It's a AE version with a HD Radio and the phone button.

    Thank you! Yeah, I don't have pics or a list of them all.
    I was hoping to compile a list here of the part no's./model no's. of the various RCD510 models. I haven't been able to find one anywhere.

    I haven't installed it yet... it only finally arrived last night. Looks awesome, and is brand new. Just need to have the time to install it now! Hopefully soon! I'll follow up and let you know.

    hey CUPRA 20VT

    Did you buy the one that is around 265 on ebay? I'm wondering if it has the pins for aux hookup.

    I bought the one at the very top of this thread. It's from a 2012 Chinese Tiguan. Direct from VW Shanghai. And yes, it has the AUX input already hooked up.

    Everything works on it, CDs, Bluetooth, AUX, except for the FM reception. I have ordered a new FARKA Diversity connector that will sort that out, changing the single antenna I have in the dash of my 2010 Jetta into the two separate ones that are in the back of the RCD 510. Then everything will work fine.

    Haha. I hear ya! Was trying to decide which version was the best value. Also so I know exactly what to look for when searching the classifieds.

    How much does this improve the overall sound quality?

    There is definitely an improvement in sound quality, but it can't be much worse being as I removed the dodgy old unit that had the big silver buttons on it! Can't believe they still put that in 2010 Jetta's!

    Anyways, you have better control over the sound, over the AUX input volume and you get speed dependent volume as well, which we didn't have with the silver buttoned beast!

    Still very happy with the upgrade we did to the RCD510 from that original unit.
