Where to buy RNS510?
« on: 02 February 2009, 19:43 »
Anyone know where to get an RNS510 for the mk5?
I know ebay but was hoping for some other suggestions. The only good ones from ebay are from japan, poland or Lithuania! Sound dodgey to me!

Budget is around £800

Cheers :smiley:

Check out the for sale section on vwnavi.com

There's a guy (tommy?) selling some, he's in the Czech Republic but I think a few people on here have used him so he seems to be reputable.

Is that the system with the 30GB HDD built in??
Sorry its not a direct answer to the main question - but is the RNS510 the top of the range system for the MK5?

Yea, that's the one.  30Gb disk (~12Gb used for navigation data), 3d Sat Nav, DVD player, SD slot, touchscreen.  There are a few videos on youtube, looks really good.

I would echo what clive has said, vwnavi is the place to go and tommy_cupra I think his name is is the guy to buy from. I know 182_blue bought his from him and had no problems!  :cool:

Yes i also bought one from tommy.  Unfortunately it went faulty but he handled it well and sent me a B revision as a replacement.  Its a fantastic piece of kit, the only thing that lets it down is the voice guidance.  I got on the m6 the other day and it said "stay on this road for a long time" did make me chuckle

Previously I have bought an MFD2, updated cd's and RNS510 from DJ.Kolia on Ebay.

He's based in the UK and I can highly recommend him. Excellent service and quick replies to emails.
