Solution to Battery Leakage Issue after Installing RCD360
VW Cars have three different power interfaces, namely PQ quadlock, ISO plug and MQB quadlock. See the diagram below:
The original power interface is PQ Quadlock:
- Check whether the original car stereo head unit connector is the original one. If it has been modified with other connectors, it needs to be restored to the original car stereo head unit power interface. The modified power interface may not match the pins of the power cable connector we provide, which can cause electrical leakage.
- If there is no multi-functional steering wheel in your car, you need to confirm the following three points:
- The headlight switch can control the backlight of the stereo's buttons. When the headlight switch is in the "On" position, the radio's background light will be illuminated in red, and when the headlight switch is turned off, the background light will turn off as well.
- The CarPlay connection is working properly.
- The Bluetooth connection is working properly.
If all three conditions are normal, it indicates that there is no issue with the radio, and the problem might be due to the ACC connection. You will need to purchase adapter DS6135-A1.

If there is any abnormality as mentioned above, it is most likely due to the CAN line being disconnected. You can first check if the line is damaged or if the CANBUS BOX connection is correct. If the issue persists, please contact our customer service for further assistance.
3.If your car was produced before 2010 and has a multi-functional steering wheel, this unit is not suitable for your car. Please contact our customer service to replace it with the RCD360 PRO2+Adapter.
4. If the above-mentioned cables cannot resolve the electrical leakage issue, you can also solve it by replacing the gateway. Please note that replacing the gateway will require programming. If you do not wish to replace the gateway, you can contact our customer service to replace it with the RCD360 PRO2+Adapter.
