			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>A one-stop solution</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The RNS 310 radio navigation system is a true all-rounder, combining a cutting edge radio system with precise navigational support. And, thanks to its intuitive 5-inch touchscreen, it’s child’s play to use. Along with its easy to understand maps, the system has many practical features to help you reach your destination with the minimum of stress.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Two operating concepts</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Using the RNS 310 could not be easier: the high-resolution, touch-sensitive colour display can be operated either in touchscreen mode or with buttons. The turn-push button concept allows you to use the system safely when driving while the touchscreen provides quick access when you are stationary. The flexible processor generates excellent graphics, which means you will always be able to see what’s going on.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>3D navigation</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">With the RNS 310, taking the right road is part of the package. This is guaranteed by the digital card material supplied with the radio navigation system, which displays the driver’s home country in detail as well as all major routes in the rest of Europe. The clear 3D or bird’s-eye view and the automatic zoom-in and zoom-out features for making turns always help you find your way. Thanks to the practical SD card feature, the contents of several navigation CDs for different countries can be saved, allowing you to drive with confidence even to destinations outside your own country.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Multimedia X4</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">With the RNS 310, you can do much more than just listen to the radio: you can also play CDs and even connect your MP3 player – thanks to the practical AUX-IN socket. In addition, the SD card slot allows you to play back additional navigational material or audio files saved on an SD card in MP3 or WMA format. Or how about listening to an audio book next time you’re on a long journey?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>24 of your favourite stations</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The RNS 310 includes a radio with two tuners and two FM antennae that give you excellent reception; you can also store up to 24 of these stations on the radio for faster access. Thanks to the TMC (traffic message channel), you receive up-to-date traffic information – either depicted on the map or in a list. If you wish, the RNS 310 can even automatically suggest an alternative route to help you avoid annoying tailbacks.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>A multitude of options</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The RNS 310 is a complete package as it stands but if you want, it can do even more: it can be used with the mobile phone adapter set or for the optical parking system (OPS) for instance. Information on the Climatronic air conditioning system can also be shown on the system’s touchscreen while an iPod or USB stick can also be used through the MEDIA-IN feature, making the RNS 310 your Volkswagen’s central display and control unit.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upgrading 2nd generation headunits (as fitted to the Golf Mark V and similar models MY05-MY09) to a 3rd generation headunit has a number of additional requirements depending on the year.</p>
<p>Tools required for the install include</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1656/" target="_blank">Trim removal tools</a></li>
<li>10mm socket or spanner</li>
<li>Selection of flat and torx screwdrivers</li>

</ul>
<h2>Gateway Upgrade</h2>
<p>If installing a RNS 510 with a software version more recent than 1200 or any other 3rd generation head unit the CAN Bus gateway needs to be revision L or greater. The gateway version can be identified by checking with VCDS or physically checking the gateway.</p>
<p>Details on the issue &#8211; <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1101/" target="_blank">Upgrading 2nd generation radios (RCD 300, RCD 500) to 3rd generation (RCD 210, RCD 310, RNS 310, RCD 510) power drain issue</a></p>

<h2>Aerial Upgrade</h2>
<p>The 3rd generation head units require both aerial connections to share the same housing, the 2nd generation aerial connections are separate connections. Depending upon the year there are two options available ranging from AUD$10 to AUD$40 to resolve this problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When retrofitting a satellite navigation head unit to the car you can either install the factory GPS antenna on the roof which is a major job or install the GPS antenna in the area above the head unit where it receives a good view of the sky and minimal interference.</p>
<p>The install process is simple, using double sided tape stick the GPS antenna in the location shown and press down, wedge some foam on top and tape the GPS wires down to prevent them interfering with the diffuser vent (for cars fitted with climatronic). The photos show two GPS antennas installed side by side and there is room for two more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst this guide is intended for the Volkswagen Skoda Bluetooth kit harness it applies to anything that requires interfacing to the quad lock connector on the rear of the head unit or that uses similar connectors around the car. This guide specifically for 2 x power connections and 2 x data connections.</p>
<p>The way this works is you remove the terminal from the housing, join that terminal to the matching terminal and insert the opposite terminal into the housing.</p>
<p>First you need to obtain the connector housings and repair wires.</p>
<ul>
<li>1 x 000 979 133 (000979133) &#8211; 1mm repair wire &#8211; CAN bus Hi and Lo female.</li>
<li>1 x 000 979 134 (000979134) &#8211; 1mm repair wire &#8211; CAN bus Hi and Lo male.</li>
<li>1 x 000 979 225 (000979225) &#8211; 2.5mm repair wire &#8211; 12v and ground female.</li>
<li>1 x 000 979 226 (000979226) &#8211; 2.5mm repair wire &#8211; 12v and ground male.</li>
<li>4 x 191 972 701 (191972701) &#8211; Housing</li>
<li>4 x 191 972 711 (191972711) &#8211; Connector Housing</li>
</ul>
<p>Step 1 &#8211; Cut the four repair wires in half, remove the insulation from the ends of all four and twist the exposed wire together. Do the same for the power and CAN bus wire. Join one male and one female repair wire half together (ensure that you join the 2.5mm female to the 2.5mm male) as shown and connect the ground wire to one and redo the step for the power wire.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1889" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_1" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_1-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_1" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 2 &#8211; Solder each of the four repair wire halves and the two power wires from the harness as shown.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1890" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_2" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_2-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_2" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 3 &#8211; Double the harness wire back on top of itself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1891" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_3" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_3-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_3" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 4 &#8211; Using heat shrink cover each soldered area as shown. Use a smaller length to cover the join and than place a longer length over the top to minimise the chances of any shorts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1892" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_4" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_4-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_4" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 5 &#8211; Repeat the last part of Step 1 with the 1mm repair wire and the CAN bus cable.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1893" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_5" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_5-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_5" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 6 &#8211; Place a piece of coloured heatshrink on one male/female CAN bus set, ensure that these are connected to the same wire! This allows you to ensure that you have hooked this up correctly later on. Repeat for the power set of cables.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1894" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_6" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_6-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_6" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 7 &#8211; This should be the finished result. Next tape it up using fabric adhesive tape &#8211; <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1898/" target="_blank">Fabric Adhesive Tape for wiring looms and harnesses</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_7.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1895" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_7" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_7-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_7" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 8 &#8211; Install the housings and connector housings on the exposed terminals.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_8.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1896" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_8" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_8-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_8" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Step 9 &#8211; This is the finished harness ready for install.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_9.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1897" title="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_9" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_9-300x225.jpg" alt="vw_skoda_bluetooth_harness_connector_housing_9" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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 - <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/2296/" target="_blank">CAN bus gateway removing, installing and upgrading &#8211; Volkswagen Golf</a>.</p>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px;">model year 2008 as well as the Tiguan,</div>
<p>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 <strong>may</strong> require the updated CAN bus gateway to be installed. See <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1837/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Model Year Information</a> for more details on the week of manufacture however generally Volkswagen change over Model Years around Week 22.</p>
<p>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.</p>
