Title: RNS-510 Upgrade from Rev B to Rev P (Ebay = Legitimate?)
Post by: Starfox on 08 July 2014, 22:45

I picked up a new car with a RNS-510 Rev B in it (1T0 035 680 B) and I am toying with the idea of upgrading it.  I believe Rev P is the one to get (if you don't want DAB which I am not bothered about as my car does not have a DAB aerial)

I had seen a couple of ones HERE (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191238150620?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649) and HERE (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271543008932?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649) 

• How do I know if they are legitimate as I have heard some stories about potential fake RNS-510 units being sold on eBay?
• How do I make sure it is a definitely a Rev P?
• Is it a good upgrade?  I like the idea of the LED screen, larger HD and it being faster.  Plus I am hoping it will allow me to use voice activation in the car (I have the button on the steering wheel but it does nothing...)  Hoping to sell the Rev B one for a decent price on eBay?
• Can I just do a straight swap?  I.e. no messing around with VAGCOM - will everything work as it should including Sat Nav on MFD as I currently have an RNS-510?

 

Thanks!
