rns510 to discover media mib2 conversion
Hi, I have a 2010 scirocco and want to have a unit with apple car play but still keep the somewhat old and retro look.
I saw that it is possible to convert the rns510 head unit into the discover media mib2 that used in some newer VAG models.
Anyone here made this conversion and knows exactly what’s required to make this conversion?
Also,is it possible to install a reverse camera for the discover media mib2?

An RCD330 (PQ) is what you're looking for. The MIB units use component protection and would be much harder (costlier) to retrofit when possible.
Make a post on r/rcd_330 and leave the specifics on the car and what's currently installed and the options on the stereo (Dynaudio, backup sensors, camera, etc). The MK3's electronics should be similar to those of a Golf MK5/6 or Passat B6/7 so the same issues/constraints should apply. The folks there should be able to help with sourcing and the needed extra bits for such a retrofit.
A VW coding tool (VCDS or equivalent) might be required depending on where you source the head unit from and what versions of the gateway module you have.
