hi guys,

 

i recently got a new rapid  and i found that the radio that came with it is very bad its called (blues radio), i can not play media via bluetooth from my iphone (i tried other phone as well) plus my car  doesn't have usb or aux, so i need your advice guys is there something i can do in my radio or get a new one, if so and can i replace this radio with a new one or not?

sorry i dont have any experience in these things, thanks in advance.

I think alpine and kenwood do a replacement radio...

Bump,

 

i have the same thing... I’ve tried fitting an RCD-310 VW which is identical, the MFSW worked (not all the buttons though), but it still didn’t give me an audio profile.

 

Oddly enough, the original blues head unit, sometimes allows the phone to show as a media player and will mute everything when the phone is playing media, however it will not output sound.

 

Would really appreciate some help on this topic.

 

I want to try the RCD-510 but now im getting the feeling its the BT unit, even though all specs say it does support Audio streaming and 2 simultaneous devices.

 

 

Regards

If you hold down the right hand knob for a few seconds, it brings up a menu on the swing. You could check to see if Bluetooth is activated on that menu.

I think you have to tell the car that you have changed the radio through vcds
