I can't remember, it was less than a week.  I emailed him and asked for a tracking number, he told me at the point I ordered it how long it would take.  A lot of them are in that area, I think this is becuase the factory that makes them is in Eastern Europe somewhere...

There are of course other sellers, some of them UK based if that makes you a bit happier, perhaps someone else can advise but I had no trouble whatsoever with that seller.

I've also tried phoning and emailing retrofits with no response.
I haven't ordered my car yet, but am going to soon - so I wanted to know if they supply without fitting - because they are too far away for me to consider their fitting!  I have no problems getting my hands dirty and fitting it myself!

£1200 factory price v £650 (plus £300 back for my RCD510) sounds VERY tempting - but I want to make sure I got some form of warranty.  Also - do these units all ship with the latest Firmware so they work with the on-screen climate control.  Aparently updating the firmware is a bit of hit or miss, and can end up turning your unit into a very expensive paperweight if you're unlucky enough!!

The only other thing putting me off is having to tuck the GPS aerial away somewhere - rather than the OEM one which sits on the roof!

how much do you think is a fair price to sell my rcd510? as i am going to upgrade to the rns510

There was one for sale on here not so long back http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=120209.0

£350 seems resonable.

As for OEM retrofits, i've heard its a business run from someones house.

Can't vouch for that myself though.

My local car audio specialist wanted £1400 to supply and fit (RNS510) - that was also a recon unit  :shocked:

Ive been trying to get in touch with them for nearly a month now, sent numerous emails and rang loads of times but no joy. Ive just got a B version off Ebay for £520 including delivery and antenna, code and maps v4 on HDD. Should be here this week, cant wait. Anybody got any links to the latest software and maps v5 please?  :smug:

Whats the difference between an A & B version... and is there a C version - or is that just the MFD2?  Which seller did you get it at that price?
Here is a link to the latest FW update - I think there are older ones there too.

Maps can be purchased from VW  :wink:

I think B has option for Bluetooth where as A doesn't and i think C has option for DAB but not 100% on those, got it from user dimon8. He has another but it's got a scratch on it, think he wants £450 for it. I believe A can be made into a B with a fw update so maybe soon B will be able to be revised to a C also with an update, ive been looking for ages for one and finally bit the bullet. £520 including delivery isn't bad and also somebody else on here has bought from him and said communication and delivery and product was spot on, thanks for the fw link. I know but i'm not paying over £100 for maps  :laugh:
Surely somebody will be able to lend a helping hand  :rolleyes:

Just looked - maps are available on the newsgroups.
I've been looking around and I think the main difference between A & B is that A has a matt black face, but B has a shiney black face round the buttons / scren, and has some silver bits on it too.

If you'e fitting it to a MK6, you need the newest FW to get the climate control to work on-screen I think.
