Hii,

 

Would this RCD 510 - Bolero from Octavia fit in my Fabia II FL 2011 ?

Thanks for reply!

I fitted a RCD 510 from Superb 2009, and it was a plug&play install. No problems yet. 

There are two shapes - one more or less square and one which is slightly wider at the top and found on newer models.

 

The one pictured looks to me like it should plug and play and share the same dimensions as your existing fascia adaptor too.

 

Edit: Some functionality may require VCDS coding.

Looks identical to the one I put in my Fabia, I think the one that doesn't fit has white lettering on the front.

 

Very easy job, just plugged and played, bluetooth, Maxidot etc all worked great.

 

Big improvement on the interior I think, especially if you have the new steering wheel and gearstick as it matches the shiny black on these.

For now, all the functions are working properly, with no coding at all. Informations are also visible on Maxi-Dot (Radio, which song is playing, etc.). I saw some of users have problems with battery drain ( more of them has this problem on RNS 510), but for now its all ok.

It's very big improvement on interior. Sadly i have the old steering wheel and gearstick but it also look's great. 

Battery drain should only effect Pre-fl fabia's and only then where the canbus interface hasnt been updated to the appropriate combo for the H/U

Jealous! I want one...

 

What extra funcitonality does the 510 give over standard?  Is it bluetooth (and if so, what else do you fit), nav, or just a colour touch screen?

6 disc changer, SD card slot and I think that's about it.

 

It still requires a separate bluetooth module.

 

I bought mine for the looks and ease of navigation around tracks. 

Like bobnaldo said, the main reason for change was that is easier to navigate around songs and about a look. 

 

And yes it's still requires a separate bluetooth module, but for 250€ it has 6 disc changer, SD card, looks nicer - and after buy i realized that the sound is better ( a little less bass but all sounds are super clear, and even at higher volumen it sounds better) . 

Hi guys, it's me again. I finally got my own VCDS cable, and i finally manage the sound settings on radio. My Bolero was installed on Superb which had a sound system.

 

I went to [56 – Radio] - Coding and Longcoding helper. 

 

Changed settings:

-Sound system not installed (before: Skoda Sound system)

-4 speaker channels (Front and Rear) (before: Sound System)

-Speaker Monitoring Front and Rear active (before: inactive- Sound System)

 

Sound is extremely better! If any one need pictures and exact bytes i can post it. 

BTW- Version of my VCDS is 11.11.3

That's interesting... so the RCD 510 is designed for use with an amplifier in certain setups? 

 

I've got my swing unit running through an amp at the moment and it sounds pretty bad so I'm looking for a decent OEM upgrade, and maybe a 510 fits the bill. Does anyone know more about the above VCDS settings and what they do?

 

I assume it adjusts the DSP settings and levels to allow an amp to comfortably take speaker-level output (as I assume there's no pre-out available on the 510). Anyone know?

I assume the RCD 510 has the preset settings for OEM amplifiers (and Yes it's designed for use with an amplifier in some way). The options in VCDS for me are:

 

-Sound System not installed
-Volkswagen Sound System
-Skoda Sound System

-Dynaudio Sound System

 

I will probably connect amp to RCD 510 and OEM speakers in near future. In next stage i will replace stock speakers for better ones. 

But from yesterday, it's a lot better then Swing radio.

I have a 2013 Fabia VRS will the RNS 510 fit my car and will it connect with the MDI?
