Lupo-Joe Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi people looking at genuine vw cd players and came across this on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-POLO-T5-FOX-LUPO-CADDY-RCD-200-CD-MP3-PLAYER-RADIO-/280737837723?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item415d47729b#ht_838wt_922Has anyone had experience with on of these or do you know if they will go straight into my lupo 1.4sJoee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 doubt it will work, its from a polo 2005 onwards so will be canbus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Oh okay thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 MrColinG had one in his GTI for a while. It will work, but without canbus signal it will turn itself off every hour.I thougth about putting one in my GTI as I have one in the Dune and well it keeps things simple.

Lupo-Joe Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 YeH I thought they look good. Ray will this still turn on and off with the ignition? And would it just plug straight in or would I have to buy an adaptor? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I think they turn off OK, it's just that without a canbus signal it will turn off itself.Ask Coliln about an adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanncfc Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Something like this may workhttp://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p1272_c27_MFD-2--RNS-2-CAN-Bus-Interface-for-Vehicles-w-o-CAN-Bus.htmlapparently it simulates the can-bus signals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 99 euros **** me thats a bit dear for a few wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanncfc Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I think its supposed to simulate signals for the unit to use so it doesnt turn off after an hour etc.I agree though its bloody expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggled Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Another vaguely ignorant question; the RCD200s are on ebay from £50 to £150. Some mention mp3 compatibility and some don't. The ones that do usually have a little folder icon next to the < and > buttons. Is there any other sure fire way to tell if it will play mp3 as we all know that ebay is a gamble at the best of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Mine pays MP3 cds and yes it has a folder icon on the <> buttons.Doesn't play MP4s though do if you are a iTunes user, make sure you import accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 And this will just plug in if I get one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggled Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think you need Fakra plug adapters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
