Hi,
I'm looking to change my stereo from the RCD 310
to the RCD510
Does anybody know if it is just a straight swap? Is there any cables that I need to order with it?
Thank you!

Re: BlueGT Stereo Change
If I'm not mistaken, the RCD510 has a a so called Diversity tuner, that has two antennas instead of the one that comes with the RCD310. Otherwise, straight swap.
You might get away with a two-to-one splitter for the FM antenna, so you'll still have a good FM signal. Otherwise you'll need a second antenna.

Awesome, Cheers!
Will I need to do anything to get the bluetooth working correctly?
Currently have bluetooth in the car but cannot stream audio to the RCD310, only get phone calls coming through it.

Re: BlueGT Stereo Change
it will very likely have the same functioning as you have with your RCD310.

Personally, i'd be looking at an rcd330g...
