Anyone have one fitted to a mk5?  I'm thinking of buying one to replace my RCD-500 which must hail from the 90's as it's never heard of mp3's  :sad:  I have read the many threads praising the RNS-510 but I don't need the nav and it (along with the hard disk and DVD capability) is a £400 premium over its little brother.  Then again, maybe I would re-coup the difference when I come to sell the car?

SteveP:
RCD-510 is a very good unit and if your happy to go without the Nav, Hard Drive and DVD playback support then it's a good upgrade from the old RCD-500.  :happy2:

Cheers Steve,

I've seen 2 different part numbers for the RCD-510:

3C8  035 195
1K0 035 195 AA

Anyone know why and would both work in the mk5?

cmdrfire:
1K0 is the one you want for the Golf.
3C looks like it might be either Skoda or Seat?

Thats good cause I just won one on ebay with the "1K0..." part number!

Anyone know what aerial adaptors I will need for fitting?

Also will any VAG-COM programming be required when I swap out the RCD-500 for the RCD-510?  I have the VW sound pack with amplifier & 10 speakers if that makes any difference.

Pics to follow!
