Has anyone brought and fitted the new OEM "RNS 510" touch screen Sat Nav?

There are several on ebay, some look dodgy some look ok, but none in UK yet.

Part No: 1T0 035 680

Any info much appreciated.

I havent YET but I have been pricing it up and will take the plunge soon. If you need any info I probably have it

thanks for your reply, were you pricing up from ebay or another source?

I really want one, but don't trust these foreign ebayers with £1000 of my hard earned, so I was hoping someone knew a trusted seller I could get one from.

cheers

They do and it does. It also has a 30gb hdd to put music one so no need for ipod connectivity

Thats my dilemma. I have sourced a more reputable supplier in the US that will supply a European unit at slightly less than th german ebay sellers. Im just slightly hesitant to part with a K when I know they will be half that by xmas

I'm wondering how easy it is to put music on the HDD, as how do you transfer the data, through the DVD player, or perhaps some sort of connector into the SD slot?

Would you mind sharing your "reputable supplier in the US"?  you can PM if you like.  cheers.

My understanding is you can rip from CD or transfer from SD cards. I will PM you.
