Mine has arrived today, it’s made by Desay Sv, which it’s the difference between desay and other brands?
So I got the 330 Desay model. I drive a 2011 Jetta with two tweeters in the front pillar and 4 door speakers. For some reason, the driver side door speaker is now cutting in an out. I don’t know if I didn’t notice this before or what, but it is frustrating. Could it be possible the 330 doesn’t have enough juice as the RCD510 has, thus cutting out? Or could it be the speaker just going bad? It is only the driver side that does it. I know the 2011 has reports of electrical issues. Some even said it being winter time could have something to do with it, as the issue seems to go away in the summertime...
Besides that, I love this HU. CarPlay works great. Sometimes Spotify gets buggy, but a simple close and reopen fixes it. I hope the HU isn’t faulty or anything, shipping it back would be expensive!

I very much doubt it is anything to do with the head unit. They are both 4x20 watts unless I'm mistaken. It could be a speaker going bad but it also could be broken wiring (or broken insulation causing a short) in the door wiring harness.
This happened to me recently. The mid and the bass speakers would sometimes drop out leaving only the tweeter working on the driver's door. Sometimes giving the door a whack or opening and closing it again would get them working.
Anyway, I decided to install new speakers and made custom aluminum mounts. However with my broken insulation they would short to ground. That's when I took out the wiring harness to find many broken bits of insulation.
I have a photo if you want to see it.
Also, you can try swapping the wires around on the plug going in to the head unit. You only need to swap the middle 4 wires of the 8 speaker wires as these are the ones responsible for the front doors. The wiring diagram will be on the back of the head unit as well. Then if the passenger door speakers stop working then it could be the wiring before it reaches the doors.
It was a simple enough job for me as I already had the door card and outer door skin off (do Mk6 door skins unbolt too, I don't know). Otherwise it's a lot more work.
If you could provide a picture of the broken insulation, I’d definitely appreciate it!

Anyone purchased this yet, if so how long did it take to arrive? 30 to 50 days seems a lot for the shipping price they're charging.
RCD330G Plus - R340G
Edit: seller claims 4-7 days for Europe...
Finally got some pics:

not sure if you guys can see that.
as for OEM - most likely, it sure feels that way. The vendor did put their own sticker over the OEM one so Im not sure if it was a modified firmware or not. Not sure how we can find out.
For quality - dont get me wrong, it still feels really good. My comment is mostly for volume/tuner dials. It does feel as...dampened? However Im comparing it to my german made MK6 whilst remembering the new MK7 made in Mexico didnt feel as nice.
Not sure if I can help with usb extensions has I currently do not have any. If I find one at work, I'll try it out and report back.
I live in your area, just wanted to ask, so AM radio doesn't work? From all that I've read it doesn't but just wanted to be sure.
