RCD 510 Question
« on: 19 January 2012, 18:52 »
The hunt is still on for a RSD 510 for me. The one I thought I had bought before Christmas never turned up. At least I managed to get my money back. Although it took me having to track down his address and tell him that my solicitor was being copied in on our emails, for him to see sense.

Anyway, hopefully a simple question. Will a DAB unit plug in and work in my 2010 car, or does it need something else?

I'm watching several on ebay, but am reluctant to buy one from too far from me due to my recent experience. I would prefer to do a cash deal and collect it. That way, the seller saves the fees, and I don't have to pay until I've got my hands on the radio.

There is one on at the moment only 20 miles from me. I have messaged them with a cash offer, but they won't drop below their £290 reserve. £290??? I ask you. Maybe they'll be in touch next week when it hasn't sold?

All sorted. The people that were quite local to me rang and accepted my cash offer. I collected it and fitted it this morning.  :smiley:

Now all I need is bluetooth.
