RNS510 on ebay
« on: 07 June 2009, 17:32 »
I'm really thinking of buying RNS510 for my Wagen.
Looked on ebay.co.uk, there are a number of them offered. But I am damn scared of being taken for a ride by some smooth operator. I feel ebay is full of fraud. What do you guys think? Anyone bought RNS510 from ebay?

I would trawl through his history and message a few people who have brought similar and get some feedback.  just always use paypal and you will be fine.

when pressing a few buttons on the RNS-510 I noticed there was a setting for a DAB antenna reception strength. Does anyone know if you can add a DAB aerial to the RNS-510 and pick up DAB?
