Hello Everyone, 

I know that it as been ask many times, but i am getting very confused after lots of searching and reading. 

I would like to upgrade from the Stream HU as the sound is not great at all. Ideally plug & play. What would you recommend ? 
Thanks a lot

Well, have an update.

I have upgrade to RCN210, all working great, so much better sound. All connected in 10mns. Just need a new facia.

 Will the above RCN210 be a diect replacement for my Stream HU in my 2006 tdi Octavia or will I need to do any mods apart from the new facia and will I still be able to get the display for the rear parking sensors that I get now any help please

HI, 

 

I haven't try the parking display, but from other forums, should not have any, but still have sound. Then you looking where you are parking anyway, not as the display. 
If your dash console look the same, beside the fascia i haven't change anything, just make sure the radio come with the can bus, took me 10 mins ish.

Also, the one i got as the red light buttons, can get the green, but its £140

Is there any chance you could upload a picture of it in situ?

 

I've seen this topic and am now tempted by one, but have now found the RCD330plus, which people seem to be fitting in Yetis and the like.

Situ ?

In place / in position.
