I think its time to get this back on track!

One thing with the RNS510, is it needed two ariel inputs which we had in the car, but they were single connectors rather than the single block that we needed. So we sourced one and installed it…perfect working radio!

It also meant we had to change the CANBUS module as the earlier Mk5 Golf's keep the stereo on (even if it is powered down) and eventually drain the battery. With the CANBUS module fitted, some coding work, the installation was complete!

Now all the speakers were in and ready for an amp, we used this wiring harness available in our store which allows you to seamlessly integrate between an OEM stereo and an amplifier with a High Level input, in our case, a Mosconi ONE 120.4. It is basically a T-piece harness that plugs into your existing Quadlock harness, gives you RCA connectors and speaker cables to plug into the amplifier. So you have your high level signals going into the amplifier, and you have your speaker cable leads already connector to get the signal back up the car and into the doors. When you want to move on and remove the audio system, you can simply remove this cable and begin returning the vehicle back to OEM!
