Radio Replacement & Installation with Backup Camera, Apple CarPlay (RCD330, RCD360) VW Jetta MK6 

This video was done incredibly well and slow so that it’s easily explained for ANYONE to do this! My dog could follow this tutorial, it’s that well done! I’ve seen thousands of these car videos and you’re the best I’ve come across, thank you. Incredibly simple and well put instructions

I know this isn’t the hardest install but being able to look up a video and get an idea of what you have to do is always great. You really took it to a whole new level, i didn’t have a single question you killed it man.

Followed this and it worked out great; put aside 2 to 3 hours for the install there's a lot of fooling and fiddling around that's not in the video as to be expected, but it went flawless. Thank you for this detailed video. Thanks YOU ARE THE MAN.

This video is the best video to explain the RCD330 radio and back camera's installation, I have see on the youtube!

Just bought a 2012 Jetta. It doesn't have a backup camera and I'm not ready to get one yet. But I saved your video for future reference when I'm ready to upgrade the head unit and add the camera. Thanks!

this was a very detailed install! i’m impressed with how you took your time and explained everything. i have no questions. i feel i can install easily

Thanks for the handwork making this video :) I am sure it is not easy to keep camera filming it and do installation at the same time for sure! I am purchasing VW Jetta 2014. Looks like this will be my my step #3 after clean rust off out of underneath and replace rims. I appreciate for this video! cheers!

i love how clearly you explain things in your videos. and your voice is so relaxing!

Wow! This is one of the best produced, informative videos on any car work I've seen. I'm looking to upgrade my radio on my MK6 as well. This will help tremendously. Thanks so much.

Me and my MK6 applaud & thank you, Been looking for a nice new radio set up and the OEM look really upgrades the feel! I think the backup cam shouldve came with but you found the perfect in between.

Got the radio with Android auto and Apple car play. Install was quick due to this video. The radio came with a new wiring harness and did not have to open the connector @ 20 min in. Plug and play! The ground wire was shorter than yours as well. Just used a screw at the back of the radio space that was holding the plastic radio mount to the frame. Thanks again!

Perfectly explained tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm doing this

Just installed mine less than a week ago and this video made it sooo easy! They do seem to have made some updates to the head unit since this video was shot so you no longer have to splice any adapters or the turning mechanism, it's fully plug and play. One thing I will note is that the new power cable that runs to the fuse box comes with the fuse splitter attached and will NOT fit through that hole shown in this video. However it does have a breakway splicer that comes apart with a quick pinch from a set of pliers. Would have saved myself an hour or so of jostling around with the cable if I'd just thought of this right away. Other than that this video still holds up and is the absolute best guide to installing these OEM apple play stereos. Thanks so much for you work on this!

I put one of these in my car which is a third generation Volkswagen beetle, and the quality that it adds to the car is amazing. I grew up driving cars. They just add basic radios and if you’re lucky some of them have Bluetooth. Having Apple CarPlay and android auto Built-in and having it just work reliably is a noticeable upgrade to any car. I had that same exact radio in my Volkswagen beetle and I replaced it with the same exact Apple CarPlay unit and I like it because it’s a legitimate OEM Volkswagen part. That means that it’s going to be good quality and it’s going to add to the value of the car because I know that aftermarket units can actually take away from the car especially those touch screens that are really shitty quality and believe me, I’ve used one of those, but I like the knobs, because having a physical volume button or knob is always a win and the fact that you get reliable GPS straight from your phone but on that big screen is also a plus. I had an android unit before that claimed it was compatible with Apple CarPlay and android auto, but it absolutely was not. It said you can use Spotify or RU-vid Music or Pandora all of your favorite music streaming apps work and I’m like my phone is great and it gets good network, but for some reason the hotspot is really shitty which meant that I was basically limited to Bluetooth if I wanted to stream music, and the built-in, GPS on the android unit was unreliable at best and completely unusable at worst. So the fact that I have an OEM Volkswagen part that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and works wonderfully is a game changer and it looks really nice in the car. The unit you put in looks really nice and you did a great job adding the back up camera.

Thank you for the video man I bought this camera for my RCD330 and followed your video everything works perfect

Hey man, thanks for that video. It was very helpful. I followed it and installed camera and radio in VW Golf mk6.

Really awesome tutorial! Got a RCD340 + camera on the way and this is exactly what I was looking for. Mines a 2013 MK6 GLI so it’s a very very similar model to yours

Thank you for this video.. it was better than the video Ddren has linked for the install on his website. Got the back up camera installed and everything works great thanks to this video. Thanks again!

One of the best install videos I have seen.

Great video. Was able to get backup camera up and running by connecting directly to fuse box how you have it. Thank you!!!

Glad I found this video. I've had a 2011 Jetta 2.5 SE for a few months now and I've been looking into upgrading the radio to have Carplay. I also already have a sub wired up so this plug and play really saves me from having to completely rewire everything again lol thank you. it's so hard to find stuff online about Jetta's

Great video man, will be doing this install with confidence now!

Perfectly explained tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share !

This video was super helpful for my install. More or less exactly the same on an MK6 Sportwagen except the fuse box placement is different (located behind side dash panel) and it was a bit more involved routing video cable through the hatchback, but it all worked out. Thanks for making the video!

Thank you for this video! Very helpful to get everything set up. One thing that was different for me is that my previous backup camera had an extra cable coming out of it. The cable is fused to the camera and it took me a while to realize I had to disconnect the cable further down to be able to take it out. I also wasn't able to figure out how to cleanly route the wire from the back seat to the trunk, so I just put the seat down and routed it through there to the trunk. The wire is a bit exposed but it's working now and it's good enough for me.

Very good video. You should do more. Everything was clear. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your fully detailed explanations. Thumbs up for your work.

Bro...seriously...thank you so much for this video! Got my radio and camera installed today in my 2014 MK6 Jetta. I love it! Could not have done it without this video!

You're the man! You made the install so easy. Thank you for this video!

Hey man thanks for the video guide, installed mine today was a great help!

Excellent clear video... thank you. Going to install one for my daughters 2008 Volkswagen Eos.. Hope it’s not too much of a difference.

I have a 2015 SEL TDI, and this would be an upgrade. Nice video.

Thanks for the video. This helps a lot for installation of head unit and backup camera specially the cabnus connection on my VW Jetta 2009. Appreciate it

Great step by step video on doing this. That is the best type of RU-vid video that I also try to make on my channel. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video explanation! Liked the video and subscribed

Excellent tutorial. You make it sound so simple.

Hi Buddy Really Thanks Today I Finally fixed My Car Camera 🙏🏻

Amazing tutorial on installation of reverse and rcd330 for Jetta 6. Very professional and detailed. As the seller for the radio and backup camera, I appreciate your sharing. Looking forward to more videos from your channel.

I just installed on my 2012 GLI and it worked perfectly with my RCD330 187F with android auto and carplay. Takes a bit of time and patience if you really want to make the cables neat but it's well worth it. I was tired of using my RCD330 and having "rear view camera not available" appear when backing up. Looks OEM and this tutorial helped me out a ton.

Nice clean install, very detailed

Just installed the same thing...thanks for the video and suggestion on what stero to buy.

It turned out really good! Congratulations... Mine didn't come with an integrated camera but it has gps and mirroring and all the connectivity features via Bt. but it's not a 5 mouths it's an MK6,5 jetta 211cv 2016. Who knows I'll venture to put a camera, I'll follow your explanations that there will be no mistake a real high didactic material, Congratulations

Great video, very helpful.

Best tutorial in youtube brother👍 will be ordering because of this video

Buen trabajo amigo.. y muy detallado en cada parte. Gracias por explicarlo paso a paso, sin omitir nada. Estaría dispuesto hacerlo a un Ford fusion 2010 ?? 👍

This man has helped me with sm😂

Excellent explanation. Best one out there. I went and got the camera in this video from the same seller just because of this video. Can't wait for everything to come in.

This is very helpful thank you

Thumbs up! Great tutorial!

Awesome video man

FYI if your airbag light is on after a successful install even after checking the fuses: Sometimes when you disconnect the passenger airbag switch, it can throw a fault when the battery becomes reconnected. If you followed all the steps in the video and it's working in your vehicle, there's nothing wrong with the airbag system, the code just needs to be cleared. I had this problem for a while until I was informed about it by a VW tech and had the code cleared at a dealer.

It's really helpful. Thanks so much boss!

Excelente vídeo, lo intentaré con un mk6 2017 mexicano

Just did my camera install yesterday, thank you for the excellent video! Everything worked perfectly but there were two parts in the process that I got stuck on for anyone else watching this in the future: At 9:30 the large plastic trim beside the rear seat also has a hidden T20 screw near the top that is accessed via a small plastic door that you pull open (with the seat back down). You'll need an extension to reach it. This video shows it at 1:07 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oui1L7zmu64.html&ab_channel=NestorAutoRepair Also, to go from the back seat to the trunk it helps to straighten out a wire clothes hanger and tape the end of it to the camera wire in order to easily pull it through.

You are the best. Thanks for the video.

Awesome vid bro great job👍

outstanding video, thanks for sharing

Incredible job buddy!!!

Excellent vids ✊🏽 keep it up

You are the real OEM deal

Great video and I just installed the same RCD330 and AV camera in a 2015 Tiguan. When testing the backup camera I got a blank screen when in reverse so was concerned I damaged the camera cable when installing it. After some troubleshooting I discovered the tailgate/trunk must be closed for the camera to work so now everything works great. My car had the OEM backup camera (RGB) but this new AV camera provides a better picture IMO.

Outstanding job.

Hey, firstly, very detailed and easy to follow video. So thanks for that! Secondly, the links in the description are for the RCD280. Is this the one you got? Or is there another link?

Nice video!

Excellent brother 👍

worked! thank you!!

Buen tutorial. Gracias!

great video very helpfull thank you

Great Video!

Thank you so much for the amazing detailed explanation ! I hope my teachers explain everything like you do hahaha.

Brother, thanks to your video I just performed the installation. I installed a wireless transmitter and receiver in between since I was lazy to run the cable through the car.

awesome video!! thank you so much!

this is perfect...gracias mi hermano!

Do you have a link for the camera only? I already have the rcd330 installed and I'm confused by the multitude of cameras listed with the various harnesses. This is THE BEST video out there on this install, thank you!

Thank you, great detailed video. Was wondering how does the backup camera work with a manual transmission (Stick)? how does it know to activate the backup camera when you put it in reverse gear?

Thanks for guide!

2 questions. Will this work on a 2016 VW Tiguan S 4motion? It already has an OEM back up camera and head unit with a screen but the screen is only like 3 inches instead of the 6.5 in your video. Just want to make sure it will fit in the Tiguan’s faceplate where the head unit goes since it also holds the vents for the A/C. Would I have to replace the back up camera that’s currently installed on my Tiguan’s tailgate with the one that comes in this kit? I ask because I will most likely purchase soon I just want to get my facts straight.

Thank you so much, really appreciate

Thx for the Great video i would like to know did you notice any sound quality change from the old HU u had and the new rcd330 ?

Would this work on a facelift? Facelift is basically the same I am just not sure if the wiring is the same...also I think you're the only person in all of youtube to make sure the lines move on reverse camera when you turn your wheel which is pretty impressive so thumbs up for that.

Awesome video mate. I'm interested in how the sound quality is on this one, compared to the original unit?

Are you able to upgrade the steering wheel to have call options ?

What color wire is the camera supposed to connect to?

Well I was just wondering what do call the connection that goes in to the antenna thanks

hi want to install rear camera on my b7 estate got rcd330 plus i like the dynamic rear lines what camera you use please ? thank you!

I have a question i have bought an RCD330 plus for my golf mk6 variant and also want a rearview camera. It has an adapter cable with canbus gateway between and a single ACC cable that is not pluged in. When i buy a camera can i connect the red wire from the camera to the acc. Or does it need to get power from the fusebox??? If you can anwser that question i would be thankfull

Great Video Adonay! Is there a version of the RCD330 that would allow me to connect my iPhone via Bluetooth and not use the USB cord? I would like to install this complete install, including backup camera in my 2012 Jetta SE. Currently has the RCD510 unit in it.

Is this process and equipments the same for the 2015 VW Passat S?

if it's not (if it isn't) just a hobby of yours, please share the details of your business, like name, location , etc.. so we all can give you some good reviews just by watching you in action where you make it not just US simple, but whole wide world simple :)

Very detailed

AWESOME! 👏Please share a new link for the camera.. I already have the radio. And will this work for my old VW Passat stationcar 2007

Amazing video. Can you post link for just the camera. I already have rcd330, and I see a few options on Amazon for the camera, but don’t know which model you have and would love to follow your instructions 1:1

It was a good one! Could you please do it for VW PASSAT tsi 2013. Replacement of RNS510

Anyone know how compatible that this video and the electronics he recommended are for a Mk4 GTI?

Can this stereo be installed in older models like Jetta 2010

Did the lower AUX input in the center console still work?

How do you fish the wires on down by the fuse from the touch screen? I got the screen out and I can’t figure out a way to fish the wires through the screen hole down to my feet can you help me out here? @Adonay Lopez

Where did you get the two radio cables under the steering wheel, I bought mine but I could not install it because I don’t know where you got that red and organs cables

Has anyone installed one of these on a mk4 Jetta wagon? If so how did you get around the car frame and how did you deal with the latch release for the trunk.
