OEM Retrofits

Anyone used these guys before?

£650 fitted seems quite cheap for an RNS510 unless its a refurb unit  :undecided:

Cant believe they want £70 to fit it. I replaced my headunit in 25-30 minutes.

Good price on the unit mind.

you can make any version A into a version B with free firmware, so no big deal which unit you get.

what do you mean?  you download the firmware from a torrent, burn it to a CD, then upload to the unit, very easy.

Dont think its as easy as that... i heard of someone cooking ther unit. Apparently as its updating it can freeze and cause one of the boards inside to overheat and melt.

Would be interested to hear from someone has done it successfully. And even more interested in a link to the torrent  :lipsrsealed: :smiley:
