RNS 510 and Bluetooth kit - advice please

[Booski]

Booski the 6500 classic doesn't support Rsap unfortunatley.

Hi Darren i found this online    http://www.bury.com/upload/products/lt9100/compatibility/LT-9100_Compatibility_list_EN.pdf
and it seems to show that rSAP is active on the 6500c, or am i misunderstanding this list?

thanks for the reply

Mine and the wife's are 6600 Slides Darren. So from that list on the previous post these aren't Rsap compatible which means I'd need the Fiscon. Correct?

Booski my wife has the 6500 slide which I believe is the same phone and it wont connect to the vw premium.

Andy you can always go with the Skoda unit which is called the basic plus and gives all the functions of the premium vw unit, but instead of been rsap its just uses the bluetooth instead of the sim so is able to connect to any phone. The new C version unit works well with the white dot matrix of the mk6.

I'm getting a GTD in the next 14 days, the only optinal extra its coming with is metallic paint (Carbon Grey).  I had wanted the RCD 510 or RNS 510 but opted for having the vehicle in a couple of weeks rather than a few months.

Anyway, I'm now on the hunt for an RNS 510 to fit into it for when it arrives.  I've seen a few on eBay which are under £600 from Lithuania and the likes, or more expensive from Autotronics but they are in the UK.

So my questions are where is the best place to buy?  Are the ones from Europe dodgy or fake?  I've seen a couple of versions of the RNS 510 - which one do I need for the MK6 GTD?

Thanks in advance.

I got one off eBay from Lithuania for £510 including delivery.  It is practically immaculate.  You'll notice that the majority of the Lithuanian / Polish sellers have 100% positive feedback over 100's of transactions and all they sell are Sat Nav units!  Whether they're actually from write off's (like they say) or stolen is questionable - but they work well and usually come with a money back / replacement guarantee.
There are a couple of companies on eBay selling brand new units - but then they charge a premium £1000 price tag to go with them!

There are 3 versions around at the moment - A, B and C.  The C versions are the newest, but they are basically all the same in terms of hardware and looks.  I got an A version, and updated the firmware (pop in a disk and leave it for 45 mins) and its effectively a C version now.
All versions will fit in your GTD.  You'll have to update the firmware to the latest if you want it to work properly though with the climate control display coming up on the SatNav.  I think the firmware on a C version might already be up-to-date enough to do this... but C versions are pretty rare on eBay at the moment.

Graeme you've got 14 weeks to get one I have one on order at the moment that I may be able to let go cheap so if you can leave it with me for a couple of days I may be able to help you out.

By the way the one I have on order will be going in my car but then Ill have one surplus to requirements from my car

Darren,

I get the car in about 14 days, not weeks 

But if you are able to source me a mint RNS 510 in the near future I'd be very interested.

Darren,

Might sound like a silly question but can I ask why you're taking one RNS-510 out and putting another in its place.  Whats wrong with the one coming out
