Just to try our luck, we walked into a friendly neighborhood accessory shop and lo behold, a Jetta owner had upgraded to a Blaunpunkt unit and had left behind the stock unit. 590 035 190 B (B is printed as a part number) 590 035 190 A (A is not printed on the HU) Additionally, the Indian spec Jetta and the Passat used to get a Bosch unit.ĭo note here that even the Bosch unit has multiple part numbers: Googled for the difference and it seems that though the Delphi offers direct USB connectivity, it was relatively poorly built. One was from Bosch which was made in Portugal while the other was from Delphi and made in China. We realized that the RCD 510 was manufactured by two vendors to VW. Getting a headunit from ebay via Chinese sellers was the first option. Thereafter we were convinced that an RCD510 could be installed in the Vento with a little effort.Īnd so began our hunt to source the stereo. This thread has some great information if your stereo doesn't have CAN bus connected wiring harness. After further efforts came across bhpian MSP9994's thread on his Polo HU upgrade. He also mentioned that it was kind of impossible to upgrade the HU if your car had the RCD300 which my brother's car did.Ģ) Thread link. However bhpian newtonMeter stated that pre-RCD310 units are not a direct upgrade. So referred to these threads:ġ) Thread link. Team-bhp has some treasure of trove information on a headunit upgrade for the Vento. Some Chinese units like the Caska, Witson, etc.
These include the Blaupunkt Philadelphia, New York, etc. A series of headunits from Blaupunkt specially designed for VW cars. A stock VW headunit from the upgraded Vento. A stock VW headunit from the Jetta / Passat. Additional features like Bluetooth connectivity, A2DP, GPS, etc were welcome.Īfter intense research, the options were pretty limited.Minimal changes to wiring and circuitry of the car.Should take USB and iPod as media input.We started looking at options to upgrade the headunit first. Increasingly, it became frustrating for his wife to use the stereo due to the pain involved in burning music CDs for latest audio tracks. My elder brother was one of the first buyers of a Vento (Dec - 2010). For a 10 lakh rupee car, the stereo was below average.
The headunit could only play a single MP3 CD or the FM/AM radio. The launch editions of the Vento in 2010 and the first half of 2011 had a very mediocre music system. Volkswagen Vento was launched in 2010 as a Polo with a boot.
