What sort of stereo do you want?

If you are not bothered about Sat Nav, the RCD 510 is a great piece of kit, and can be bought taken from brand new cars for around £220-£250 on ebay.

Buy it Rob.

When you buy off someone you sort of know, it will be genuine and it will turn up. Unlike the one that I thought I had bought before Christmas, but that's another story.

the rcd510 is a nice unit and i love the DAB. the reason i didn't upgrade to the sat nav is that i wanted to keep the DAB.

they're pretty cheap on ebay

Why would you sell an RCD 510 when you have just had to pay an extra £395 for it as an option, when the RCD 310 is free and the RCD 510 is only worth £250 to sell? If I had no intention of keeping the RCD 510 I would stick with the RCD 310 and then keep it to put back in when I sell the car on.

No criticism intended, just doesnt seem logical plus I have probably jumped to the wrong conclusion  :smiley:

I fully intended on having an RCD 510 but then I got carried away and bought an RNS 510 off eBay........  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Had I decided to buy an RNS 510 before then I would have stuck with the RCD 310!

The RCD 510 really ought to be standard on GTI/D and R's by now.
