Need some RNS510 questions answered please

[VWKev]

I currently have a RCD510 which has a DAB radio and the Dynaudio upgrade.

When I switch on the unit, it says all the welcome to vw palava but at the right hand side it also has the dynaudio icon.

My questions..

• Is the unit picking up the Dynaudio update and displaying it, or is that programmed into the unit so if I replace with the RNS510 I'll loose this icon ?
• I think this has been covered, but I assume I cant take the DAB unit out of my RCD510 and use in the RNS510
• Finally, Is it possible to get an RNS510 with a DAB button ? i have never seen a unit with this.

Ta.

Kev, sorry I can only answer one or two of your questions - the RNS510 isn't available with DAB so you would lose it. There are two versions of the RCD510, one with a DAB tuner built in.

As these radios use Windows CE operating system, I'd expect the start up screen image to be part of the software loaded on the radio unit itself. Whether a version with the Dynaudio logo can be added to an RNS by a VW dealer, I don't know for sure but I'd assume so as you can buy the RNS with Dynaudio.

That's went way over my head I'm afraid Jay.

Thanks mac. So if a dealer can load this, what I'm loosing is the DAB radio. Hmm, I love the DAB radio

Stay with the DAB, I find it very clear For Absolute

Thanks guys.

I still have no idea what Absolute is.  :embarassed:

As far as Dynaudio goes it will probably interface fine with the amp and if not you can probably code it with vag-com or whatever its called these days.  You might not get the logo though...

Try vwnavi.com and see if anyone there has done the retrofit.

It use to be Virgin radio. IMO not for the young it plays very little chart music or big box little box or sh!te, thats why I like it
