Specifying DAB radio.
« on: 05 July 2010, 08:50 »
I've just looked at the VW webpage and it seems that DAB radio can now be specified with the RNS510 and the RCD310. I seem to remember that DAB could only be specified with the RCD510 previously.
Interesting.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, now I can get the RNS510 upgrade and keep my DAB. Well spotted mate.

Just need to find someone that can get the part.

You are probably right as it may have to be a factory order. :rolleyes:
