The RNS510 is the satnav fitted as the option.
I have it, fantastic sat nav, probably the best OEM solution I've used!

Factory option is £1800.
But comes with Highline computer (£50 on own), Arm rest (£120 on own), 6Disc Changer (no idea), Aux in socket (for iPod etc).
It also comes with the sharkfin aerial on the roof, whereas the after fit needs a GPS puck under the dash.
