I'm about 99% sure that you can't play movies from the SD card.  :cry:
I've never found any mention of it when looking on the web, and it didn't recognise the DIVX or MP4 films that were on my 8gb SD card when I tested it after doing the update.  It just had my video folder as empty, and my music folder full of MP3's!

Cool thanks for that, one final question, what about divx for example from the dvd ? Did you happen to test that ?

sorry to butt in with another question, but how much have you guys been paying for the RNS510? around £500 - £550? All coming off ebay? Any recomended sellers I should look out for?

500 - 550 is about right, some are 600
My guy was a one off, and I took a chance I think , but i met him face to face, rather than risk the post never coming having sent my money to him!
A lot of the lithuanian guys have lots of feedback, you have to go with that really.
Lord only knows where they are sourced, but I bet you could say that about a lot of ebay stuff.
Good luck, well worth it by the way
cheers

Mine was £510 from Lithuania.  The code was written on a tiny sticker on the unit and it was full of music!  The guy told me it was from a smashed up car - but its more likely it was nicked out of something.
It was in very good condition with a few minor marks on the shiney face bit.

They all seem to be £500-600 on eBay - with UK sellers selling for a bit more and NEW units come in at about £900

Cheers lads for the quick reply, came back off holiday with spare 200 euros which is going towards an RNS510. I take it all the ebay ones are used, but in newish condition then. Fleabay it is then. Will be my second mod after the smoked wing mirror indicators I fitted.

Quick question - when retro fitting the RNS-510 where would you recommend for the GPS antenna?
