Good morning folks!
2015 Jetta TDI Comfortline equipped with RCD510, Steering Wheel controls, Sirius built-in, Backup Camera and console MDI.
Used the following:
-Maestro RR
-iDatalink HRN-RR-VW1 Interface Harness
-Sirius SXV300V1
-DoubleApex Dual USB Ports. Configuration 1 Charger/1 Passthrough
-Enfig AAA-VWAUD5
-Enfig SAA-SIR-20
-Enfig PNP-KEN0016 (Was unnecessary with a Maestro Harness and will seek to refund it)
-Scosche VW2317AB Dash Kit
-High Quality 26 PIN RGB to CVBS (RCA) Converter for Volkswagen Facotry Camera VW Original Camera RCD510/RNS510/RNS315 etc
-Kenwood DDX5902
So here's something that caused issues and both wiring diagrams call it different things but I believe that they're the same.
Kenwood supplied harness has a "Red (Ignition Wire)" and "Yellow (Battery Wire)".
Naturally we attached the Maestro RR VW1 harness with "Yellow - 12V (+)" to that same yellow on the Kenwood and "Red - Accessory (+)" to corresponding Red on the Kenwood.
The deck wouldn't show anything on it's screen making it seem like it wasn't powering up and just showed a flashing red triangle until we did the following:
-Snip the Red from Maestro Harness because it's not going to be used. Attach the Kenwood Yellow and Red to the Maestro Yellow and voila! I'm not sure why this fixed it and wonder if someone can shine further light on it if they might know why that might be otherwise it seems good now and powers off/on exactly like the OE deck did.
How's the deck?
I'm impressed! Factory speakers sound just as good as they did before. It all works as it did before including in-car Bluetooth and Climate Monitor with the added functionality of OBD monitoring. I was wondering about simply splicing into the back of the OBD harness on the car itself so the plug isn't taken up but not sure if that could cause anything unwanted. It's just two wires.
Post-Install notes: Went fuse chasing and somehow lost the automatic power windows on driver-side. It used to be you could tap the window function once and it'd go up/down by itself. Now you have to hold it. Also, for fellow 2015 owners your factory manual has no fuse diagrams! First vehicle I've ever had that with, not even anything on the panel.
