Does anyone have any idea where the speed pulse is input? This is used for GALA road speed volume control.
The speed data is probably fed via Canbus to the radio.
anyone know how you would go about hooking up an amp to this radio unit, or am i screwed and have to get a new head unit?
im looking for the remote antenna wire so i can connect an amp. can anyone help???
Can a Subwoofer be fitted to this Radio.
I have a RCD 310 in a EOS, and have bought a Sub, but don’nt know if this System can connect to one.
If not, what System can I buy, that is compatible with all of the volkwagen features and will ALSO connect to a sub?
Thank you in advance for any help. “,

Seems that an amplifier or a subwoofer could be connected to the AUX output pins 2, 3 & 8 on the 12-pin connector number 3.
Pin 10 (or 4 if it’s switched) on the 12-pin connector number 4 could be used as the switched control for an amplifier or a subwoofer.
Ofcourse you would have to either purchase or build a harness to accomplish that connectivity and arrange the continous power supply for the amp and sub directly from the battery.
I’m unsure whether some VCDS programming is needed to enable the AUX output feature.
The output on 2, 3 and 8 is a pass through for the matching inputs on connector 5 IIRC and not suitable for an amp. You would need to use the speaker outputs and set the outputs to low (like is done on the RNS 510).
How can i set the speaker output to low level output?
I want rcd310 home make use of.

How do you connect an Ipod to the RCD 310?
Does anyone know which pin is the on / off ignition?
The Vibe Liteair enclosures can run from standard speaker outs, bridged from the speakers, with no need to alter the speaker output levels. All that is needed is the switched control feed to turn it on with the RCD-310 and a power feed from the battery as Stefa explains.

At least that’s what the guy at Autosounds explained, I’m fitting mine in a few weeks so I hope he’s right.
I Have connected the aux-in cables and I cannot see the Aux-in option in the unit, after pressing “media” button. I read the manual, and there should be a option in the setup menu in order to activate the aux-in imput, but it does not shows up in mine.
Does anyone know, what is the name of the antenna connectors? (aerial 6 and 7)

Please Help
Hi,
Do you know what voltage can/needs be fed to the
15 – Voltage supply, positive, terminal 30
and
11 – Display voltage supply, positive
I just changed my RCD310 to RNS510 but forgot one CD inside the RCD310 (a new cd I’d just bought so I need it
. Plan is to provide power from professional power supply to the pins, power the unit briefly and eject the cd.
Or is there a way to elect cd without power?
Thanks!
Can someone tell me how to remove an RCD 310 on VW EOS please. Need to get the radio code and have to access the serial number.
Thanks
