Title: RNS510 on ebay
Post by: Peskarik on 07 June 2009, 17:32
I'm really thinking of buying RNS510 for my Wagen.
Looked on ebay.co.uk, there are a number of them offered. But I am damn scared of being taken for a ride by some smooth operator. I feel ebay is full of fraud. What do you guys think? Anyone bought RNS510 from ebay?

I would trawl through his history and message a few people who have brought similar and get some feedback.  just always use paypal and you will be fine.

when pressing a few buttons on the RNS-510 I noticed there was a setting for a DAB antenna reception strength. Does anyone know if you can add a DAB aerial to the RNS-510 and pick up DAB?

Ive bought one from Ebay, cost me £480, and i was told id never get one for that money last year by someone on here :lipsrsealed:  :evil: and ended up to having the version B being the latest version.

infact sold my Mfd2 on ebay to help fund the Rns510, and sold that for £346!!. So infact cost me just £134!! +p&p

There are many powersellers on ebay that will do you a very good deal for less then £600 :smiley:

well done Phil, that is a rarity, but you did have to wait a year, I've had mine 20 months now!!!

FYI: the version A can be changed to version B with firmware for free, so doesn't really matter what version you buy these days.
