Re: B7 RCD310 replacement with aftermarket unit
Sorry for the late response. I managed to install the Kenwood after struggling for several hours of running the mic, etc. I am not impressed by the quality and not worth my time. Yes my RCD 310 has dab and it's a single Fakra male connector on the stereo. I had to buy a Fakra to SMB connector (ampli...

Re: B7 RCD310 replacement with aftermarket unit
Cheers, thanks. Removed the unit from the car and yes it's double Fakra for FM/AM and single Fakra for dab. Spoke to Connects2 and got all required part numbers. Passat's built-in dab aerial is constantly losing signal in the RCD 310 so I will guess the same with Kenwood too if I use that aerial but...

Re: B7 RCD310 replacement with aftermarket unit
Thank you. So far the parts needed are fascia, microphone cable, DAB aerial. Do I need a Double Fakra connector or Single Fakra connector? Do I also need a GPS antenna? Halfords recommended CTSVW002.2AA harness which has steering controls, this seem to have the Aerial Adaptor and Fakra connector. Av...

Re: B7 RCD310 replacement with aftermarket unit
If it’s a Halfords exclusive Kenwood it doesn’t come wIth the DAB aerial but it should have a mic. Think it’s just a generic mic though so depending how cheap it was might be worth sourcing one for it. Make sure you read the instructions on setting up dab reception though or it will constantly say ...

Re: B7 RCD310 replacement with aftermarket unit
Thanks J, Halfords suggested a £15 or £70 harness. The expensive one has the steering control module and the other one doesn't seem to. Haven't bought this yet as googling if I can source it cheaper from anywhere. Ordered a fascia from Amazon, awaiting delivery. Bought an ex-display Kenwood dabs dou...

B7 RCD310 replacement with aftermarket unit
Looking for advice please on harness adapter and other cables required to replace the RCD310 with a Kenwood or Pioneer double din unit with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I would like to retain the steering wheel controls also. Halfords says Connects2 but web search says Autoleads too and I am conf...
