Hello,
Since there is no complete set available for the volkwagen transporter i ordered the universal kit of the dudu7 11.5 inch display. But there is nog power or can bus cable with it. Can someone tell me which one i need? The old car radio is the RNS 315 from VW. The transporter is a T5.1 from 2012
Thanks in advance

I think the 40 pin fits, check the rns315.
Bettman66 thanks a lot!! Will try if this one works!
You can take a picture of the plug on the back of the original radio.
Nielsvda1705 there's a ready frame kit for T5, you don't have to buy full set, you can buy dudu7 separately and frame + harness separately
Nielsvda1705 T5.1 from 2012
2012 should be T5.2 though. Important difference in terms of connection. Yes, take a picture of the Quadlock connector.
In case others read this prior to ordering: I had no problem ordering a kit including Canbus adapter for my T6 (aka T5.3) and it would also be possible for T5.2, but they need pictures of the Quadlock and the dashboard. My kit works well but I had to select VW PQ as protocol (Multivan and Caravelle should work but don't).
creed If the accessories are not suitable or the delivery is wrong, please contact the seller to deal with it.
creed @Bettman66 doesn't have it in a T6 but I do. During the time the T6 was built, there was a change of the Quadlock (from 40 Pin to 52 Pin) plus there are different dashboards. Dudu7 installed very well in my MY 2019 T6 but you need to specify to sales (by pictures) which Quadlock you have and which dashboard.
Canbus wiring was no problem - what precisely doesn't fit on yours?
This is the 10.36" in the dashboard for "round corner radios", the 9.5" would sit flush between the vents but I wanted a steeper angle.
creed So do as @dudu-langzi says. To fit the 13" screen, and if you have the same dashboard as I, you'll probably need the frame for the 9.5" unit (including holes for the air vents) and then stack the 13" on it with a 9"-13" adapter. It will block the air vents, I guess.
gismo I want to install a 13" for my T6 California 2019. Mekede support told me that "it will fit but will need a secondary frame and the screen will stick out a bit" (and will cover most of the vents, this is me guessing).
Since you successfully installed the 10.36" do you think 13" is too big? Also, can you help me figure out which connector I need to ask for? Thanks.
alpinegecko yes 13" will cover vents/buttons. I have the same dashboard and 10.36" is the biggest that doesn't cover anything (see above pictures). For how much 13" covers, I'd recommend cutting a cardboard to the size of the casing and hold it onto the dashboard.
I also have a MY2019, it needs the 52 pin Quadlock (aka MQB Quadlock).
PS: Looking at your dashboard - you have the vents with wheels. Make sure Mekede sends the correct frame. For 9.5" they appear to only stock the one for vents without wheels so no cutouts for wheels. But one with cutouts is available on AliExpress etc (but buy without harness, take the harness from Mekede/Dudu!). Or if you can do with 10.36", get the frame I used, it really looks good and just goes into the radio location so retains your vents etc. because you keep your original vents frame. https://www.skyfame.com/skyfame-car-frame-fascia-adapter-canbus-box-decoder-android-radio-dash-fitting-panel-kit-for-volkswagen-caravelle-p2848.html (again buy it without harness). Don't know whether Mekede offers it now, I have recommended it to them anyways.

gismo Thank you very much for the help. I made a cardboard model and indeed, it's quite big. :-D
Any suggestions to calculate how much of the buttons below the head unit (a/c, glass heating, rear and recycle) I will cover? I have dimensions for the screen but I found no reference for where the brackets sit with respect to the screen so I cannot figure it out.
alpinegecko Not sure I understand - with the cardboard you now can see yourself and I already said that I consider 10.36" to be the biggest without covering anything.
If you're asking about how much it will stick out so that you can try a hit & miss of buttons hidden behind the screen, you'll find pictures on Duduauto's telegram channel (show your Dudu section). Here's an example of a T5, similar enough: https://t.me/duduauto/108761/122313
Not desirable IMHO (too big and too many reflections due to wrong angle) but do your own research and assessment...
Which CANBUS box are you guys usingin VW T6? Which is best? I do get climate control signal and steering wheels buttons are also working. But I don't get the door signal to work?
