RNS510 is now in the car!
« on: 15 March 2011, 23:37 »
Ordered an RNS510 LED from Nick (N13KKF) from the forum on Monday and the box arrived this morning at work  :smiley:

At home tonight I spent 20 mins swapping over the two units with the longest time spent wrapping the GPS aerial in fabric tape to stop it rattling around. For those contemplating it but a little unsure it is very very easy.  :smug:

Unit is excellent and I can recommend Nick - not easy sending cash on trust but he delivered the goods and a nice guy to deal with so from my experience I can recommend him.


Just got to work out how to use the RNS510 now

How do I check the firmware version and map version please? holding the set up key for over a minute and nothing - just the radio set up screen

I also couldnt immediatley work out how to enter a postcode  :embarassed: <now worked it out>

Also will need to get VCDS coded to ensure MFSW can work the unit - only volume control is live at present

Also, must say I am pleasantly suprised with the sound quality - need to push it a bit harder but first impressions are positive - certainly no worse than the 310 I had.

Pictures? :)
The RNS310 I had my old Leon was pretty damn good, 510 must be sweet :)

It is Dan - really pleased with the upgrade - just need to work the thing now!

Oh and then add the Bluetooth module

I have a Premium Bluetooth module that needs a home. It is *not* the one that works with the iPhone, but rSAP phones. If that suits you, then you just need the cables.

Hi Sam

I have an iPhone 4 so will need one that is compatible - thanks for the offer though ;)

Shame one can't just update the firmware of the bluetooth modules, as I bet they're similar inside!

FYI my Iphone 4 was that bad on my VW car kit that I've gone back to a Nokia 8800.....

Iphone 3 works fine - it's bonkers
