FAQ/Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to connect with the radio.
   For the most cars after 2010, the radio is plug and play.
   Please check all the adapters in our package, then choose the right adapter to install it. There is also a antenna adapter, if your original radio has 2 interfaces, you need to use the antenna adapter.
2. The radio is not compatible
   If you find the radio or adapter is not fit for your car after you receive that, please send the dashboard and your original interface photo to our technical customer service.
   We’d like to help you out.
3. Multi-function steering wheel
   • If your car is produced before 2010, we recommend you to purchase the radio RCD360 PRO2.
   Otherwise the radio cannot support Multi-function Steering Wheel. Please contact our service for help.
   • If the multi-function steering wheel is a little older version, like 8-button or 4-button, you need to choose the radio RCD360 PRO2 and an adapter.
4. RCD360 battery leakage issue
   If your car model is manufactured befor e 2010 and have the battery leakage pro blem, we recommend you purchasing RCD360 PRO2. RCD360 PRO2 can solve the battery leakage issue through

an adapter. If you don’t want to change to RCD360 PRO2, you need to upgrade the gateway.
After installation, it will be necessary to use VCDS (VA GCOM Diagnostic System) to encode.
The new gateway model number is 11 digits, for example: (7N0 907 530 A G). If your gateway model number is 10 digits, such as (7N0 907 530 H, 7N 0 907 530 J, 7N0 907 530 K, etc.), you need to upgrade the gateway.
For the new version gateway, you can contact us.

The communication in cars is implemented through the CAN-BUS, because the production year of RCD360 is later than your car. Volkswagen upgraded the bus of the subsequent platform models between 2008 and 2010, which resulted in the previous gateway releasing some messages that cannot be interpreted by the new devices. A common phenomenon is that the head unit cannot be notified that your key has been removed, which leads to power leakage. Replacing the gateway may increase some costs, but the benefit is that you don’t need to worry about compatibility issues caused by the inability to recognize old version messages when upgrading Volkswagen’s original accessories in the future.
The following are the possible reasons of battery leakage and solutions.

1. The radio does not shut down when the key is removed, it is because the CAN signal does not recognize the decoder signal and the signal between the CAN signal and the decoder does not match.
   Solution for RCD360:
   please pull off the yellow pin of the power adapter, and connect it to the power source. Then, connect the power source to the fuse box on the left side of the steering wheel. Please make sure to connect it to the ACC (Accessory) power source instead of the constant power source; otherwise, the leakage problem may still exist.
   
2. The radio restarts after 30 minutes and has battery leakage, probably due to the decoder.
   1) Poor contact of decoder may cause the machine to overheat and die.
   2) Decoder is damaged and cannot be completely shut down.
   Solution for RCD360:
   ①Reinsert the decoder and check whether the decoder wiring is damaged.
   ②Take the power from ACC, then we can send you new adapter with decoder.
   External device caused the battery leakage issue.
   1）Disconnect all the external devices except the main unit. Check one by one.
   2) If the camera caused the battery leakage problem, unplug the camera power cable.
3. Apple Carplay problem
   Please connect your iPhone through the USB port, and the device will automatically detect your iPhone.
   Please make sure that the Carplay function is turned on. Please click Apple Carplay on the APP Menu, anthen you can enter the Carplay interface to operate the APPS easily.

Here are some points for Carplay function:
This device may take some time to connect to the iPhone. Please be patient and avoid frequent plugging and unplugging during the connection process, as this can prevent the connection from being established. Before connecting, please ensure that the iPhone has the following settings: Siri function is turned on, connected to Wi-Fi, and terminal access restrictions for CarPlay function are not enabled.

Carplay doesn’t work:

• We suggest that you avoid frequently pulling out the USB cable and only unplug it from your phone, as this can  protect the USB port of your device. Regularly pluggingand unplugging the USB cable can cause the USB port to become loose and eventually lead to damage.
• Please reset the radio system in the system settings and clear the CarPlay connection records in your phone.

Carplay no sound:
If you decide to use the Carplay function, usually you do not need to connect Bluetooth to the radio. If you have connected both Bluetooth and Carplay, it may cause a conflict. Please turn on the Allow Carplay switch on your phone, otherwise the radio cannot communicate with your phone.

Radio Antenna issues

The antenna interface you received is a single hole. Most of the radio can use it directly except the following situations.

1. If your car’s original antenna interface is a dual hole, as shown in the middle picture below, we recommend  purchasing a dual-hole antenna to ensure the normaloperation of the antenna.
   
2. If your car’s original antenna interface is a separated dual hole, as shown in the middle picture below, we also recommend purchasing a dual-hole antenna to ensure the normal operation of the antenna.

If you need the antenna cable, please contact us to buy it.

RCD360 camera issues

If you like to order a rear camera, please choose the one with AV port. You could contact our service for help, and please tell us the model and the year of your car. It will be helpful, if you could send us some pictures about your license Plate Light with the correct length and width.
The following picture is the instruction of the AV camera.
If the connection is correct, but the camera doesn’t work, please check whether the rear camera function is activated by VCDS or not.

• If your car is not built-in camera, we recommend purchasing our brand’s camera to ensure normal use of the product. Please refer to the instructions for wiring when installing the camera.
• If your car is installed with an after-market camera, please follow the instructions to connect the AV cable and the reverse detection cable. In most cases, it can be used normally. If there is a flash and then black screen issue on some models, please contact us for a free delay timer.

• If your original car is equipped with an RGB interface, please replace the entire camera with our brand. The current new version of the unit, whether original or after-market, no longer uses the old RGB interface. We recommend that you replace it completely. The RGB to AV converters available on the market are also very unstable and not recommended for purchase.
