Hello, I recently purchased this new car as my first car and I was looking into upgrading the stereo to the RCD330 but I’m getting a bit confused with this whole canbus gateway stuff. I’ve seen people using emulators but I’ve also seen people talking about changing a whole different part and it just all confuses me and I was wondering if someone could guide me exactly to what I would have to do to make this stereo work with my car properly. Would be much appreciated!

Hello.
In theory, this simulator can solve the problem of battery drainage. I have also noticed some people’s comments recently. But I’m not sure if there are other reasons. For example, some customers have also installed backup cameras, and the power supply of the backup cameras, if directly connected to the battery, will also cause the battery to drain.
Another feature of this simulator is that it is currently the only solution to the 8-button multi-function steering wheel control RCD330 plus.
The replacement of the gateway is 100% able to solve the problem of battery drainage from the source.
