RCD 510
« on: 31 March 2008, 11:58 »
Anyone know where you can buy one ?? Dealers around here don't seem to have them on their system yet. Not seen one on ebay so far. Has anybody got their iPod connected upto the RCD 510 & does it work any better than RCD 300,500 ??
Thanks

I think you mean RNS 510, the touch screen sat nav.  I got mine off ebay in September for £1000 and installed myself.

See:

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=77388.0

If you go over to vwnavi.com theres loads of info there.

And no, the ipod works just the same withe the RNS 510, i.e. no tracks names etc, but then you have a 30GB hard disc to copy MP3s to anyway so you dont need the ipod.

Thanks for that . It was actually the RCD 510 (non sat nav) I was interested in. But I guess if the RNS 510 doesn't show track names etc. then then the RCD 510 wont either. I was hoping to upgrade,  to improve iPod connectivity. Does the RNS 510 show artist/track names when you store music on hard drive ?

in that case you mean RCD 500.

and yes the RNS 510 does show track names, but not artwork.

How do you transfer your music to the hard drive on the 510 out of interest.

From what I understand is the Rcd 500 has been available for last couple of years, looks much like the RCD 300 that came standard on my GTI . What I am looking for is is the  RCD 510 which has a  touch screen & multi CD,  looks the same as  RNS 510 but without sat nav.  I believe it is now standard on Tiguan.

That sounds interesting! I didn't know they did a model without the nav, that would be ideal for me as I can't stand sat nav, and I guess you might save a few quid over the RNS 510. keep us posted on your search flywalker.  :smiley:
