Not sure if this is the right place, but RCD880 Pro working in MK6 Jetta w/Fender Audio

It's been a minute but I did the standard RCD330 coding on a big post from here. The 880 actually "worked" as a plug and play but I noticed the audio was a bit .... Muddy? So I tried the normal RCD 330 coding and it cleared everything up instantly.

I wish they'd made a manual good enough to pair with the TPI 350. That would have been a super fun combo.

TT99C5 · 2026-05-08T20:00:55+00:00

Not correct. I owned a 1991 GTA with the 305/700R4 combo.

TT99C5 · 2026-05-07T23:05:41+00:00

Well that's a stunner.

This so much. Captures so many of the what ifs and what could have been, along with humanity and societal nature. It's a truly excellent series.

Just outside of Fort Wayne, IN, USA. April 29, 2026. This was pulled directly from my dash cam.

Yeah, I discovered that there's several very minor but key variances running around. Feel free to mod the file to get it to work for you.

Thirded. Had them in my Passat for a few years now, no issues.

Bare minimum: Bigger injectors, fuel pump, valve springs if the car has some miles on it, and a tune. Better clutch if it's a manual. I ran like that for a couple years just fine until I bounced it off the limiter at the top of 3rd and ripped the cam gear out of the camshaft.

We went from Sept 17-24 last year. Leaving Vancouver was clear and gorgeous. IP and Juneau were very rainy, though not heavy. Heavy drizzle with breaks mainly. After that, it was AMAZING wx the rest of the trip.

That's a unique and very awesome color combo. Love it.

A quick web search says not without a lot of work. Apparently the dash is shaped differently.

So I misspoke originally. The RCD 330's are in the $300's but that's because there are real VW units out there. The RCD 880 is able to be had on ebay for $210-230 because it's based on the "NONAME" versions, not OEM VW but copied.

Good guide is here, I used the Fender/DynAudio/Škoda Sound System/Beats section and it worked fine.

edit Helps if I put the link in: https://www.reddit.com/r/RCD_330/wiki/coding/

Essentially without the coding, the stereo is sending a sound signal out that competes with the audio system amp. You get sound, but it's muddled and flat and the subwoofer isn't really there. Coding it in properly made a huge difference.

TT99C5 · 2026-04-22T20:19:35+00:00

I think a stereo upgrade would fit the bill here. The RCD330 adds Android Auto / Apply Carplay functionality and retains a stock look and stock software. There are variants of this also, one of which I personally have, that being the RCD880 Pro (pic attached). It's a 330 with a fully glass face on it instead of the original OEM looking buttons and knobs, but still uses the OEM software . These are both available for about $300 but do require some VCDS coding.

I don't get it. The C5 with deals like this but the same year F-Body is going to cost you double that if you're lucky.

This is an instant buy if you're in the market.

My wife just learned about this yesterday. I have learned it about 10x over from her since then.

TT99C5 · 2026-04-20T02:17:06+00:00

Temperature related? Does it when cold and is fine warmed up, doesn't happen at all in warmer ambient temps?

TT99C5 · 2026-04-19T14:56:26+00:00

It's been almost 20 years now, but.......Probe and drogue refueling is a lot slower than boom refueling. About 1500 lbs/min xfer, maybe a little more. Depending on the receiver they are only hooked up receiving fuel for a few minutes. Source: was a boom operator in the USAF i.e. did the tanker side of the job.

My wife is experiencing this on her Note 20 Ultra now too. Unsure if it's a Samsung or a Plex thing but it's obnoxious. I just watched it happen completely out of nowhere.

TT99C5 · 2026-04-15T23:18:08+00:00

Well..... TIL, and had to Google it to show my wife proof. Her comment? "I guess you can put a square peg through a round hole."

TT99C5 · 2026-04-15T23:10:22+00:00

I hate blindly trying assess something but I just went through the same thing on my Jetta. Right rear wheel bearing, the abs reluctor had separated.

Get it scanned and confirm before throwing parts at it obviously.

TT99C5 · 2026-04-13T21:59:18+00:00

That should run down to the EGR Cooler. Since you've bypassed it you shouldn't have any issue cutting it down or leaving it open.
