You've sorted me out. Now it's my turn to sort your hearing. Thankfully it's only one ear but unfortunately the wrong one! :grin: Next time you are down, I'll poke and probe your ears and bring tears to your eyes :evil: Then we'll have a good meal! :laugh:

Spicifically for Gizzy and Snoops.
The RNS sounds very, very good now so don't let my post put you off. Very, very detailed and smooth.
All I can say is: listen before you install. Best to go through Darren IMHO.
Forget eBay, too much of a risk to just save £50 or so and with no aftersales service.
BTW I have now got the auto rain closing function. Installed by Darren plus a few other bits 'n pieces on the MFD!

If you forget to close your sunroof or windows and it rains, your roof and windows will close automatically. :smiley:

I was told they shut at the start of a dizzle. Hopefully the hooter will not activate too quickly, unless a big fat bumble-bee is whizzing around at the same time!

Gizzy, I went from the RCD510 to the RNS510 and haven't noticed any difference in sound quality. I've not read any other reports on the net regarding a difference in sound quality between the 2 units.

There may well be a difference between the 310 and RNS510 but what you have never had, you will never miss  :wink:

There is never a truer word said.  I love the look of the RNS510, do you have the rear camera?
