You say you've also just installed the RNS510 as have I and I also have slight troubles with the unit starting up correctly and finding satellites but a couple of minutes and everything works well. It does get confused though when stopping and starting the car several times in a short space of time but I have been told the the unit needs coding to the vehicle or vise versa so maybe this is whats causing the satellite fix problem you have. I've just bought a hex-usg+can lead so should get it sorted later today.

The various bits of plastic are easy to remove and a old credit card is very much your flexible friend here and then i think a no20 hex screwdriver for a couple of screws. Beware though that if/when you disconnect the airbag light/sign thing you'll get a warning light in the instrument binnacle everytime you start the car afterwards so need that resetting too.

Its a little fiddly and if you a little larger than the normal greasy monkey/stereo fitter type then que lots of swearing, headbutting the windscreen and knocking the rearview mirror every 5 minutes just like me.


Good luck.

Today NAV worked fine. I think I'll wait a bit before I start with deadbutting!  :smiley:

Shouldnt be a coding issue? Mine isnt coded to my car and I have no issues at all?
