Anyone selling an upgraded vw stereo only got my car today so making most of it now
-
Off topic, sorry! But
Get some pics of your motor up...
-
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.
-
To add to this, I will have a brand new RCD 510 for sale at the beginning of March. :grin:

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
-
They don't all have DAB tho'.

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.

OK fair enough, but wont you need the RCD 510 for when you move the car on, or will you leave the RNS 510 in?
As a matter of interest how much did pay for the RNS 510, much cheaper than from the dealer I bet?

+1 as its included in the Scirocco
-
Silly question time - the black sharks fin on the roof - is that for the sat nav part of the RNS510??

99% I'll sell it privately, very unlikely I will part ex, in which case I will sell it with the RNS as it will be a few years old by then and it should make the car more desirable. If I did decide to part ex and RNS510's were still worth a decent amount, I would probably buy an RCD 310 or RCD 510 and fit that.
The RNS was £600 delivered, version H (which is the same as version F - the latest version - but with V8 Western Europe maps as standard). Manuf 2 months before I bought it. Not bad!
-
Besides, I was looking at a new sat nav, so £220ish for the RCD, £200 on a new sat nav, so this has really only cost me £180 more and I can watch DVD's when I'm bored! :laugh:

Yes mate...

Is it? I thought it was for the integrated factory Bluetooth?
Jim
-

No definitely not for Bluetooth, it's for GPS
If you retrofit an RNS you need to stick a GPS antenna somewhere under the dash
-
Actually, I lie, I think it might be both/either .......................

The newer factory-fit Bluetooth system (the non-rSap, that is iPhone compatible) does not use a sharkfin aerial. My Bluetooth is factory fitted and I've no sharkfin. I subsequently retro-fitted an RNS, and I put the GPS aerial behind the vents. Works perfect.

Good stuff mate.
I'm not too keen on the shark fins........so glad that Bluetooth doesn't come with one !

Nonono, you just need something like this (a lot of RNS's off eBay come with them anyway)

I too am a newbie, but I beleive the RCD is the six disc changer with the nice colour screen and the RNS is the sat nav edition - not sure if that has a disc changer or coffee making facilities but it will get you to Asdas
What type r did you have? I had the breadvan and still miss it to this day. As basic as a climbing frame, but god what an engine..!

If you don't have a shark fin then you will need a GPS antenna under the dash/on top of the RNS unit/above/below the air vent, somewhere around there, otherwise you simply won't get a GPS signal....
