FAQ
Volkswagen Transporter car radio: questions people ask.
Answers for Transporter owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppDoes the Transporter Android screen fit both the T5.1 and the T6?
Yes. The unit we fit most covers 2010 to 2016 vans: it drops into the double-DIN slot of the T5.1 and the early T6 with a matching fascia, keeps the steering-wheel buttons on Highline vans and adds DAB, wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and a camera input. T5 vans from 2003 to 2009 take the same screen with a different fascia frame.
How much does car radio cost on a Volkswagen Transporter?
It depends on the generation. T5 / T5.1 (2003–2015): from €290; T6 (2015–2019): from €850; T6.1 (2019–2024): from €850. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Volkswagen Transporter years can have car radio?
T5 / T5.1, built 2003–2015 (RCD 200, RCD 300 or RCD 500 on the T5; RCD 310 or RCD 510 and RNS 315 or RNS 510 on the T5.1 from 2010): Transporter Android screen in the double-DIN slot with a matching fascia, DAB, Bluetooth and the steering-wheel buttons kept on Highline vans. T6, built 2015–2019 (Composition Colour, Composition Media or Discover Media: MIB1 on early vans, MIB2 with App-Connect on most 2017–2019 vans): Transporter Android screen replacing Composition Colour on early T6 vans, larger display, DAB, camera input and steering-wheel control kept. T6.1, built 2019–2024 (MIB3 Composition Colour, Discover Media or Discover Pro with App-Connect; wireless on most Discover units, the Digital Cockpit optional): Android screen for Composition Colour vans that want navigation and a bigger display; Discover vans stay factory and are coded instead.
How long does car radio take on a Volkswagen Transporter?
Two to three hours, usually the same day on the Volkswagen Transporter T5, T6 and T6.1. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit car radio on a Volkswagen Transporter?
On every Transporter we work on — T5, T6 and T6.1 — the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and speakers, the reverse camera and the climate controls stay; the new unit adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input.
Do I need to book car radio for my Volkswagen Transporter, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (T5, T6 and T6.1) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
