REPLICA SAT NAV VIEWS WANTED
« on: 19 April 2010, 18:26 »
Hi I am new to the forum, I have just bought a 2008 GTI with a normal radio and would like a SAT Nav built in.  Does anyone have anyone have any opinions on this model

I like the RNS10 but has anyone else had any replica ones and are they any good?
Thanks

I wouldn't mind finding out about these also.

Anyone got a clue if this unit will cause the battery drain issues you get on the older MK5's if you fit the RCD or RNS 510?

Sorry I don't have one of those. If I was you I would check out the RNS510 group buy thread below instead. At least you know everything will work as intended..

Just my point of view... :smiley:

They're almost the same price. Why bother.

How does that work out when a 2008 one cost £550 and 2009 is £650 both second hand.  These are the cheapest I can find. If you know where they are around the same price as the replica please let me know.

Well, the RNS510 doesn't accept full postcodes still and you can't hack them to display speed cameras, there's no bluetooth support either and you need an MDI interface to get ipod/mp3 track names.

I agree the chinese version should be cheaper (I've seen them for less than this), but the 510 still isn't *that* good IMHO.

IMO aftermarket setups always win for a good sound setup, all day long.
