Hi,

I fitted a NoName RCD 330 to my 2012 6R nearly 3 years ago now and have had no problems with it.

Hi,

I didn't have that problem, maybe a mute function switched on somewhere?

Hi,

I replaced both front wheel bearing a few months ago, this was my experience.....

Hi Toscani07,

I fitted an RCD330 into my 6R earlier this year, it was a trouble free install.

My car also has the TPMS and the box of tricks in the glove box and none of these functions were compromised.

Hi,
