Upgrading 2nd generation radios (RCD 300, RCD 500) to 3rd generation (RCD 210, RCD 310, RNS 310, RCD 510) power drain issue

VAG 1K0907530S CAN bus gateway

VAG 1K0907530S CAN bus gateway

Early build Volkswagen cars can experience a power drain issue after upgrading their 2nd generation headunit from a RCD 300 or RCD 500 to a 3rd generation headunit like the RCD 210, RCD 310, RNS 310 and RCD 510.

The problem is the CAN bus Gateway is too old and an updated version 1k0907530 (1k0 907 530) of L revision or higher is required - CAN bus gateway removing, installing and upgrading – Volkswagen Golf.

in vehicles belonging to the model series PQ35/PQ46 from
model year 2008 as well as the Tiguan,

Vehicles belonging to the model series PQ35/PQ46 from model year 2008 (MY08) as well as the Tiguan have gateways that are updated. Earlier models may require the updated CAN bus gateway to be installed. See Volkswagen Model Year Information for more details on the week of manufacture however generally Volkswagen change over Model Years around Week 22.

This problem does not* affect retrofits of the RNS 510 which is a 3rd generation head unit as this unit was in the production in 2007 whereas the RCD 210, RCD 310, RNS 310 and RCD 510 are recent additions.

Check the ‘Skoda Parts’ link (right hand menu) for a reasonably priced gateway. Revisions that will work after the 1K0 907 530 S (1K0907530S) revision include 1K0 907 530 AA (1K0907530AA), 1K0 907 530 AB (1K0907530AB) and 1K0 907 530 AC (1K0907530AC).

* This problem does now affect the RNS 510 if the firmware is upgraded to 2660 or higher. The RNS 510 will exhibit the same problems as the RCD 210, RCD 310, RNS 310 and RCD 510 and requires the CAN bus gateway to be upgraded.

    Stop asking if the gateway upgrade will fix the problem guys, of course it will! you can always send the gatway to someone who can code them for you also…

    For people having trouble with steering wheel control after rns installed, your rns needs to be coded and the gateway, there is an option in the rns called steering buttons BAP, turn that off, inside gateway, go to byte 4 and activate bit 1 [47] sound system, bit 3 [37] navigation, bit 6 [56] radio (analog)… close vagcom, now with the car ignition still turned on press and hold the navigation buttons and the speaker icon button at the right hand side, keep holding for at least 15-20 seconds. this will cause a soft reset to the unit and allow the MFD+ to display the RNS.

    How do you get to the Gateway on a UK MY06 Golf GTI. It seems they are in a diffeent place on UK GTIs.
    The Gateway seems to be postioned behind the steering wheel / dash panel area. I cant see any easy way to access it. Ive had a RCD510 sitting around for a year now waiting to be installed.

    Thanks

  • I have this CAN Bus gateway in my 2008 Passat Variant. Do I need to upgrade it if I’m going to install an RCD 510 build in 2009?

    Does anyone know if the 1K0907530 AD revision gateway will work in a 2007 MkV Golf in order to replace the RCD300 with an RCD310?
    The AD revisions seem to be the current available rev.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I have a problem related to this. I have a VW Jetta MY2009 (manufactured in october 2008). My car was originally fitted with a RDC210. I bought and installed a used RCD310 from a Caddy MY2009 and had my local VW dealer re-program the radio code. Recently I bought a Dension Gateway Five to enjoy music from an usb memory. Actually I have tested two verision of the GW Five. The first (CAN version) worked ok but it only displayed music an phone calls in the cluster display. The second (BAP version) didn’t almost work at all. It displayed the songs on both the cluster display end the radio but that was all, no phone function worked.

    My question is: Is it possible to upgrade my car from CAN to BAP?

    Hi! I have a problem related with gateway upgrade. I have a Golf V my 2007 and it mounted an “L” gateway revision. I bought an RCD 310 and this gateway: 1K0 907 530 AB
    Now I’ve got problems with ESP: the warning light doesn’t work anymore and even if I push the ESP key, it doesn’t work. What should I do? Thanks
