Title: Finally got the Ed30
Post by: Jay B on 20 March 2008, 19:24
After what has been an 'interesting' few months, what with the original car coming with the wrong gearbox the wait is finally over and it was worth the wait. :cool: I must say after the intial problem the dealer has bent over backwards to get me this car to spec only 20 days later than originally planned.


Hopefully heres a few pics

Congrats on your ed30 they look great in white too  :cool:

you could always retro fit one  :wink: as you say they finish the dash off even if they are a tad expensive.

It seems really good from what ive played with so far. Just carn't get it to accept postcodes at the mo

Uh oh, sounds like you have an early unit which wouldnt accept postcodes. You need to get your dealer to flash the firmware, theres a fix available.

Stunnin :cool: :cool:

In a way it's good your original car was rejected cause you probably wouldnt have got the updated sat nav otherwise :cool:

I've never seen that digital compass before is that a standard thing on the MFD of sat-nav cars? Looks pretty cool :cool:

yes, it appears when you have no destination set and switch the highline to 'nav view'

Im in the same situation as you. its the first RNS 510 my dealer has seen too. So I haven't got any tips as yet sorry. If you get round to reading the manual first, let me know  :wink:

The RNS510 rocks :D

I added the phone bluetooth today and it's a great all round unit now.
Do you have the v3 Maps CD? Mine did, but I think they are still filtering through slowly.

The bluetooth set up you've got looks great. Looks a lot of work to install thou.
I've just checked and my disc is V2, so do you think that getting V3 installed should sort the postcode problem out?

Ok thanx  :smiley: Have you had chance to have a good play with the satnav yet? :wink:
