Or you could go to a company that does retrofits but it's going to be a more costlier option...
You may also have to factor in the price of upgrading your CANBUS module depending on the year of your car (Flat battery if you don't!)...
Also a DAB aerial if the unit needs it...
Or you could go down the route of a Kenwood DNX521/525 OEM looking and just a straight swap over, no need to upgrade CANBUS either

Yes if it's done then you can fit all the latest VW headunits. The newer RNS510's have LED screen also some have DAB... :confused:

Eddie is a top top man and is very fair with his pricing
Thanks! Alot of people on here have said that. How much should i be looking to pay for a decent, newish version of the RNS510? The prices vary sooo much

Need some advice please! Which version of the RNS510 should i be looking at? I have seen a few on ebay/Guntree locally which are 'Q' or 'P' but unsure as to which one i should go forQ or P versions are almost identical. I think the only real difference might be the P version comes from factory with firmware 5238 and the Q version with another a bit older firmware.

I'd buy the cheapest and in better condition and then upgrade it to 5274 modified version. :wink:

To have DAB you need to buy a DAB version. For BT you need to buy a BT kit. Check carsystems.pl or the For Sale section. :wink:
So i can add Bluetooth to a RNS510 at a later date, but i cant add DAB later, it has to be "DAB on arrival"?" ?

I can supply bluetooth unit for right price, and you could get the loom from Eddie. Will be cheaper and quicker. Cheers.

I will tell you my current setup first:
Mk5 55plate tdi dsg
Standard midline display
NO mfsw
Rns510 dab getting fitted in 2 days along with new canbus
New BT module (thanks to @Pashka)
BT loom & mic (thanks to @Eddie-NL)
I can get a highline display cluster reasonably cheap in a few days.
Will there be any benefit of the highline cluster to me?
Will it make a difference to how my Bluetooth will work?
How will i get the Bluetooth to work without mfsw?

Highline cluster shows the nav directions, track listings and phone book/call info

Bluetooth will still work via the headunit interface
How will i get the Bluetooth to work without mfsw?
Calls can be placed straight from the headunit using the touchscreen
Nice addition though to have a highline display - and peeps have added the buttons to a non mfsw without too much trouble
I am sure @Eddie-NL (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2345) can advise accordingly

thanks for the info! Still in two minds about the highline cluster because i have been told that i need a "Polar FIS BT" kit or something for the calls/phonebook/tracklistings to show properly in the highline display?

Also, the Polar BT/Battery also corrects the battery drainage problem with older Golfs, so you don't need to upgrade the CAN gateway if you just want a newer radio and BT module.
Post by: Ozzy82 on August 31, 2015, 03:27:47 pm
If you don't get the Polar BT/Battery module, you can only control your BT module from the RNS/RCD-510 touchscreen. I preferred to have the whole package, so I got the Polar BT module.

Oh man! If i knew the polar unit does that and displays on highline, i probably wouldnt have bought the new canbus!
oh well, look on the bright side, saved a but of money for a different mod
