FAQ/Frequently Asked Questions

• 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 an antenna adapter, if your original radio has 2 interfaces, you need to use the antenna adapter.
• 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.

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 a 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.

RCD360 battery leakage issue

If your car model is manufactured before 2010 and has a battery leakage problem, we recommend you purchase a special adapter to solve it.

The communication in cars is implemented through the CAN-BUS because the production year of RCD360S 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 could not 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 for 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 RCD360S : buy a special adapter

2. The external device caused the battery leakage issue.

3. Disconnect all the external devices except the main unit. Check them one by one.

4. If the camera caused the battery leakage problem, unplug the camera power cable.

5. Special case : The radio intermittently loses communication with the car. When this happens, it cannot be powered on and off with the key, the steering wheel controls stop working, the machine displays a clock screen when the car loses communication with the machine, and the machine shuts down after 15 minutes. Re-plugged the power cord and the machine worked fine for half a day and the same problem occurred again.
   Reason: The probability is that the scan line signal is Interrupted because the CANBUS box is built into the radio, sometimes it may be lost or defective.

Solution : we prepared the adapter with the CANBUS box outside, if you need it, please contact us.

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, and then you can enter the Carplay interface to operate the APPS easily.

Here are some points for the 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 the 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 plugging and 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.
