2 quick questions - MK5/6 headunits

Jim,
Did you notice any sound quality differences between the two? They both sound p1ss poor IMO and need major help to sound acceptable.

I haven't heard it yet as i'm getting it fitted on Tuesday. If it's anything like my RCD I'm going to be disappointed but I do intend on fixing it in the future

Sorry to puncture your bubble further, but it will probably sound worse.

WORSE!  In that case I won't be able to stand it for long, I might give the guys you call to run through some options. My taste in music isn't quite the same as yours so they may suggest a different set-up to yours. The likes of Slipknot, Foo Fighters and Korn may need a different solution

If the system can sound fabulous playing a Mahler Symphony, it will sound great on everything. Mine also sounds ace on pop and rock. 

My nephew was also complaining about his RCD510 today.

Jim,
Compare the RNS510 vs RCD510 during installation if you can.
GolfTi says that there is no sound quality difference between the RCD310 and RCD510, but the RNS510 lacks ooomph.
IMO, the RNS lacks more than that.

Thanks guys. He is looking in to it. He may need a seperate MDI for connecting the iPod and some places want to charge £295 for that alone!

I will do mate, I'll report back tomorrow night.  I'll be sticking my RCD on eBay tomorrow night too, hopefully the video-in connection will help push the price up to help fund any sound improvements that are needed.

Great. Would be interesting to get your take on this.
Been a bloody 'mare with the RNS trying to achieve decent sound for a minimum outlay. Still ended up spending approx £1000.

Top tip: Factory order the Dynaudio and then add a sub.

Hi Jim.
Sorry to hear about your rear view camera problems.
Any comparative listening conducted?

Hi mate - Yeah, I was quite suprised at my perception that the sound was indeed better on the RNS than the RCD until I noticed that the bass was on maximum and other settings messed with.  I returned them to those on my RCD and imo the sound was exactly the same which is poor at the very least. Where is the depth? In the mean time i'll return them to the artificial set-up that the last user had and wait for the upgrade.

Fingers crossed my camera will be sorted soon 


Cheers,


Jim
