RCD310 with Optical Parking - Working

[M7R]

I have googled this and only came up with a post on a GTI forum saying you needed to swap pins around, and that it was for the nav systems, (it also appeared to be for a mk5 golf).. I didnt really find anything on here bar some instructions for when a RNS nav unit is fitted.

I have a RDC310 boggo standard radio at the moment in my 12MY leon, I also have the normal rear only parking sensors.

I have a genuine VCDS lead, so I thought I would give it ago, and low and behold I now have the visual parking aid on my RCD310!

So you need to:

- Module 10 Park/Steer Assist
- Function 16 Security Access
- Move the cursor over the "Enter security access key" field and it will display a key number, type it in and press "Do it!"
- Module 07 Coding
- Press "Long coding helper"
- Select Byte 0 and mark Bit 4 "Optical Ilustration active", then exit and accept the coding

Then go into the radio module (56)
-07 - long coding
Make sure that Optical parking via CAN is selected on the relevant Byte, then exit and accept the coding,

Job done!

If anyone around the Nottingham / Derby area wants this doing or anything else tweaking with VCDS let me know,

Great job.

I am after a new OE look radio for my pre face lift, is it possible to fit this? Bearing in mind I am not a real techie

Cheers

Yes it is fits RCD310 and also RCD510 or RNS510. But in both case it need to takes the double din fascia (for center console)

Once you have coded it if you swap radios to a RNS or RCD510 unit the full picture comes up with the back end of the leon without any extra coding, fitted my RNS 315 today and straight away a full colour picture was on the screen in reverse.
