is it the wheel with VOL UP, VOL DOWN, MUTE, TELEPHONE on left & UP, DOWN, MENU and OK on the right?

what stereo have you got?

 

Yes that is my button layout.

I have a rcd300 default radio.....

 

hmm don't know mate. with my zenec unit if i keep pressing menu on MFSW it flicks through the options, when it brings up the Zenec menu i can only change tracks when that menu is s elected.

never tried with my stock stereo.

 

I think its to do with the rcd300, there is a setting through coding in vagcom, if i try s elect the highline computer through radio, the code is rejected.

 

it's got to be down to the headunit.

my friend just traded in her 56 reg match, she had highline and RCD300 and i don't think she could change tracks through the wheel.

No I'm pretty sure the buttons work in the match

 

I reckon you have to code the radio I have the same set up, only I have sat nav, and all fumctions work as per.....

 

The radio is rejecting codes. The codes are explained in the extra pop up box, i see an option that allows pairing of the radio and highline clock... well i think thats what it is for.

I have the original old rcd300, there is another rcd300 with silver buttons and plays mp3.... i'm sure thats a rcd300 model too..... isn't it?

 

The proper way to change CD tracks or Radio station would be

Press the Menu Button

Once the main menu is displayed

Scroll down using the Up or Down button and s elect the Audio option by using the Ok button

Only then will you be able to change tracks

btw: this info is from a 2007 MY Car manual.

The RCD300 Should work with it

I've looked at VCDS coding for the RCD300 Radio and can't see anything there that could be causing your problem or to solve it

 

My radio is the earliest version of rcd300's

I am certain that the mp3, with silver button version is compatible. The scroll buttons work but not for the radio.

 

Do you have the Audio option in the main display, without it you won't be able to switch tracks. I can't change tracks till I s elect it

 

In the main display or the options? in the main display i can scroll till i see audio track 1 audio track 2 ect....

If i switch the radio on, my display then shows the radio station name.

There is no audio in the menu, im guessing its not ment to.

its in the manual 2007 Model Year Car that Audio should be there. have you had a look in the long coding for the CAN-Gateway?

 

And what exactly am i looking for in the can gateway?

 

And what exactly am i looking for in the can gateway?

look at the long coding, see if there is anything there for the radio / mfsw

i'm still convinced that you need the audio option in the settings menu, to change tracks / station

 

Ok, i will have a look tomorrow, record everything down and show you guys, thanks again eddie, thanks guys.

 

no probs

 

You have the later set of steering wheel buttons fitted (post 2005.5-2006). Eddie is right in that you can only use the track advance / seek wehen you are actually in the audio menu (where you see Track 1, Track 2 or radio station etc). When you are out of the audio menu, for instance the MFD menu, the the track advance will not control the Stereo, only the Highline display and what is shown on screen.

This is what I had in my 2005 car, and I then changed the buttons for the earlier versions, and I now get track up/ down or seek no matter what menu I am in on the MFD. The only thing about doing this is that the ealrier cars (again post 2005.5-2006) used the wiper stalk to control the MFD menu cycling, and the MFSW to control the audio, phone etc.

 

Well i have the latest in highline, later mfsw.....

Surely i should be able to change my tracks? what could this beeee arghhh!!

 

I think you should find someone local to you, and borrow their newer version of the RCD300 to see if that makes a difference ( I think mrtrendvampire is in East London?). It would also be a good idea to send a Vag-Com Auto Scan to Ross-Tech to see if they have any ideas. Although you have a newer version, the manual that I have does make note of the Audio option. What are your Highline options and do they all work

 

Ill get the pictures, be back in 20 mins.

 

Scrolling up or down, i get these:

When i press the menu button, i get this:

If i keep pressing the menu button, i also get the audio display up showing tracks and radio station again.

 

Btw, can anyone explain all of these features? most of them i don't understand, not the menu display but the pictures above.

 

when it's on the CHOICEFM screen, press the UP or DOWN button to change channel/track.

after you've done a good few miles your trip settings will adjust to give you fairly accurate figures.

Lol, you got to be kidding right? sorry to sound sarcastic but that was the first ever thing i done when i got my highline fitted.
