RCD 510
« on: 17 April 2012, 20:14 »
Is there any difference between the RCD 510 and the RCD510 DAB is it the same radio with DAB and is it a straight swap from a RCD 310 to a RCD 510 with out DAB

The RCD 310 - 510 is a straight swap as long as you have the code for the new radio. I've done it in my car.

DAB radios have an extra socket for the aditional DAB aerial.

Is it worth swapping from the RCD310 to the RCD510 without DAB

Lots of discussion about that on here, do a search, i think the general consensus is for the look? yes, for the sound? No..

Some say the sound of the 310 is better, I can't tell the difference.
