No canbus communication?? Polo 6c jdm rcd330
Hi everyone. Pulling out whats left of my hair here...
Back story. Bought a unmolested 2014 Polo BlueGT 6c. Being JDM, the vehicle is MQB platform but the stereo wiring is still all PQ. The car came with its original VW Clarion Headunit which i personally removed and in the meantime fitted a Essgoo/eonon type stereo which works fine. (Switching off when key is turned off, steering wheel functions ok ,reverse gear selection switching camera screen on ok) Sound quality and connection has been a bit meh so finally decided to buy a genuine noname 187b (we are a android houselhold)
Upon install. It is a direct fit. No intermediate harness required. 187b powers on. Plug your wire and phone and all works. But none of the can signals seem to get through to the headunit. So no switch off. No steering wheel buttons. No reverse gear engaged.
My question here is. Has anyone come across this issue and its resolution? Im hoping someone will be like its just gateway long coding and all will be well. But if anyone has had success? Help would be massively appreciated as the android units are just busy for no reason so would like to have a rcd330 and be done with it.

This forum is the same headunit that has been removed to have fitted the now temp essgoo. If I can avoid ripping out a whole loom and finding a used UK one, id rather not!
