Appreciate the feedback. I found on Crutchfield that PAC, Metra and CRUX each have their own “dongle” that allows the retention of the OEM Dynaudio amp w/ the use of an aftermarket headunit.

I wonder if I could use one of those and wire up the RCD330 as an aftermarket headunit, allowing any triggers to be handled by the “dongle.”

if not, I guess I could install an aftermarket headunit, like the Alpine iLX-W650. Even though our EOS is far from stock, there’s just something about retaining an OEM headunit. But the RNS was a dinosaur when new, let alone compared to current units.

Has anyone successfully installed an RCD330 on these forums with our Dynaudio setup?

 

I remember someone on here commenting about it recently. Searching this forum for RCD330 and sorting by date should throw some results up.

I don’t know how those dongles work - the ideal would be a generic one designed to work with any make of head unit to solve your problem.

 

I've gone through the search results and posted replies where applicable. Fingers are crossed.

Additionally, I went back through the post from rcd330plus.com and found 2 replies that may assist in getting my issue resolved. One user has a 2012 Scirocco w/ Dynaudio and I'm aware that there are some shared parts between the EOS and Scirocco. Additionally there was a user who has a 2009 EOS w/ Dynaudio. I'm hoping that they are able to reply back with some details.

Thanks again y'all.

I spotted in one of your other posts that the revision F amplifier is made by Lear. That’s interesting as the early ones were made by Lear; the one I retrofitted (revision D) was made by Blaupunkt. I’d suggest looking for a different version of the amplifier but they’re pretty rare and not cheap either!

As I recall the Dynaudio setup in the Eos (both speakers and amplifier) is closest to the one installed in the Passat, and (somewhat unbelievably) close to what’s the T5 Multivan too. That may help you find more clues.

 

Great write up . I am installing a Dynaudio system in my Mark 6 R cabriolet sourced from Mark 6 GTI cabriolet. The majority is a straight swop - golf speakers for dynaudio as `follows : Pillar tweeter x2, Front woofers x 2 , Rear combined mid range and tweeter x 2. However the Dynaudio set up has the lear amplifier to be added on retrofit and a subwoofer speaker that fits into a special mounting called holder for speaker passengers side left in VW parts books. With the RNS 315 everything seems straight forward as I have the amplifier and subwoofer speaker which is a standard Dynaudio woofer. once the loom and fittings are made up.
However it It looks likely the speaker holder for subwoofer speaker will be hard to get hold of and since then Dynaudio subwoofers are now put in the spare wheel which would fit my 19 inc spare.
If anyone has or can source a mark 6 cabriolet speaker holder I would be very interested.

One question however for the subwoofer I cannot see the RNS 315 has a subwoofer output nor my amplifier having a sub input or output .

Where does the signal to the subwoofer come from , head unit , amplifier , or spliced into either speakers out from head unit or speakers in from amplifier.
Even if I purchased the new Dynaudio sub speaker which fits in the boot I would also need a signal , Where oh where does the subwoofer get its signal on a Dynaudio VW system . Any help appreciated am I missing Something.

 

Which amplifier do you have? (Part number, and a photo of the connector, would be a great help) Also, what year is the car you've sourced the parts from, and what head unit did it have?

The subwoofer will get its signal from the amplifier, there's no question about that. The question is whether you have an amplifier that would support the subwoofer.
