Bump.

Also interested in whether you can utilise the MFSW controls with this. And what sat nav apps work well with it?

I plugged my iPhone 6+ in one of these at the weekend at halfords, I was pretty impressed, it was behind a glass panel so I couldn't have a proper play, but I like the fact maps shows up on the unit, as does Spotify, my two deal breakers, only trouble I see is when people call you while you're trying to use the sat nav, I imagine it'll cut the map like in my avh x3500. That's annoying.

Considering this as an option to save me from the complicated misery and cost of an Rns510 system with Bluetooth.  Do the MFSW controls work with the unit?

I just had one of these fitted last week and very happy with it! You have to buy an adaptor to enable the steering wheel controls. The volume control works, can't recall using the up/down buttons on the RHS of the steering wheel!

Looks very neat! Is the sound a huge improvement? I've read the OE unit holds back the speakers a fair bit.

So you need a fitting kit for the facia panel and also an adapting loom I assume?  Where do I get them from?  Thanks!

OK it's bonehead question time, so apologies if I come across as an idiot... but I just don't know the answer.

This is the car I'm picking up on Friday, 2007 2.0 GT TDI   (yay)



I've decided to install the Pioneer SPH-DA120 and have a couple of questions:

1) From that pic is it possible to know which install kit I need? IE the C2CTKVW01 or C2CTKVW01 Twin aerial. Is it in fact even the right kit?
2) I see from the description on the RoadRadio website that the installation kit comes with 'Canbus for steering wheel control'. I don't appear to have any buttons on the steering wheel, so do I need that part at all?

I'm actually quite good with electronics, but just never really dabbled with car stuff.  Any pointers would be great. Thanks.

Oh yeah....  I got £50 in Halfords vouchers for xmas. So with those and the £50 off the stereo, it all came to about £270!

Anyone want an RNS510 'Q' for £250?  :smiley:

What bit is the "Aerial adaptor connection £6.5"?  I got everything else apart from that.
