VW RNS 510. Best place to buy?
« on: 31 May 2009, 23:08 »
I'm looking at replacing my MFD2 with the newer touch screen version.
Whats the best place to buy from?
I'm guessing ebay but are there any trusted sellers?

Also, will it be a straight swap?

Cheers

PS. Whats the difference in Version A and B?

Need to get one of these baby's myself!
I would go for the version B - it has some improvements or advancements over Version A - dont ask me what though!!

just check out ebay, and check feedback and email people who have brought them from the seller before, thats what I did, although the guy I brought from hasnt got any.

version A and B arent much different, but you can upgrade version A firmware to version B for free by getting the update on a CD and uploading it the unit.

For the money you pay for the RNS though (about £700) you can buy a better spec product for less money ie something that has built in Bluetooth and DVD playback. Just my thoughts  :smiley:

RNS510 does have DVD playback. It also has an SD card slot, I think it has a provision for Bluetooth?

Haven't seen an aftermarket unit yet scouring the net that looks half as good as the RNS510... welcome and open for suggestions though! Any recommendations?

I am interested in getting RNS510 for my E30, as well. At reasonable price, of course.
How much does the installation of that sucker would cost?

RNS-510 requires a bluetooth control module thing for the bluetooth to work.

I need to pay off my credit cards first - but maybe we should try a group buy of these babies at a later date?!

I may start researching into the possibility of it if there are interested parties.....

Good idea, I'm not in a huge hurry so happy to see what happens. Also would need to get rid of the MFD2 at around the same time to part finance it really, to make it a more attractive purchase!
