RD45 Radio to RT6 Sat Nav Retrofit/Conversion

[TawhidAhmed]

Hi All,

I am looking to install an RT6 Sat Nav system into my 2014 RCZ which currently has the RD45 radio installed. It has bluetooth and phone functionality, but I like the look of an OEM sat nav system. I'm not looking to install an aftermarket system at the moment.

I was hoping for some help regarding this as I have a breaker RCZ near me with this system installed. I'm looking to confirm which parts i'll require, and what steps will be needed.

I also hope this will serve as a complete guide for other RCZ/308 owners looking to do the same.

As far as I know, the parts required are:

• RT6 Nav
  
  RT6 Screen
  
  Wiring Harness (Phibu electronics sell this)
  
  Sat Nav aerial? I don't see this listed anywhere, does anyone know how this looks, where it's placed, and the part number?

I'm not confident this is the full list of parts, as there are many different modules listed but I am not sure what is required.

Also, it looks like the RT6 system and screen will need to be coded to the car. I have diagbox, will this be able to do this?

Thanks,

Tawhid

PS: I've got diagrams and links for the bits and pieces I wasn't sure about.

Be wary of those sites offering parts catalogues -they are not legit and they are years out of date - they don't even have any data or new models from 2014!

Back to the issue...

The Aerials are of course different and the GPS aerial will be required. If you want the correct part no's, let me have the VIN for the RCZ.

Hi Marc,

Yup, i've found the information on that website to be fairly inaccurate half of the time!

Thank you, my VIN is: VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

If this helps, there is an aux and USB socket in the glovebox, and no SOS button on the dash.

Thanks,

Tawhid

As you can see, from my diagram, the most current was 2015 and the one you posted above from that 'parts supplier' is 2011 and it does not show the Aerial adapter for the RT6 unit shown as item (6) which was only lately added before production stopped.

So, the current aerial amplifier you have originally fitted shown at (2) is specifically for the non-telematic units.

You will need the aerial amplifier shown at (6) , part: 9678019580 (original Part) or part: 9829041180 which was for the RT6 unit that has DAB (not all do).

As for the aerial cable itself (1) these vary according to equipment:
658751 for RD4 and after market radios
658752 for NG4 Navidrive 3D / (WIPCOM 3D) which were the main optional telematic units fitted on this model.
658797 for the independent telematic unit.
1613246280 non model specific but described as Aerial & GPS. So as the RT6 uses Bluetooth only for phone calls and does not have it's own internal telephone unlike the NG4, I suspect this is the aerial you would need.

The aerial itself is shown at (4), part: 6561 LG and is a windscreen aerial (GPS& GSM) shown for the NG4, so I can't say if that is a requirement or not.
