I'm considering a DNX525DAB due to
Bluetooth audio and phone calls
iPod connectivity
Sat nav
Anything else I should consider?

This is in my bookmark to buy folder...wishful folder.

I've got one in my TDi, excellent unit, you need to get the full Alpine fitting kit and you need full FIS to make full use of it.
Oh, and there's one for sale on Ebay, not mine I may add...

That way I'd get full MFSW and highline compatibility without taking my phone out of my pocket.
This setup would probably cost around £700.

Have played with the Kenwood, It's a techy unit, but it just doesn't look right.
It doesn't belong in the Golf
full integration with the 3D colour clocks is superb!
RNS510 with Bluetooth streaming. Add a Fiscon unit too.

Maybe this is a firmware-specific problem though :confused:

However, I also have a Zenec e-2014m (or check the more padded out NC-2015 as it is a better comparison) and these have everything you want built in, and are very OEM...much more than the Kenwood DNX types I have seen up close.
I would say the only place where the RNS510 trumps it is the HDD.

I've already ruled out the RNS units as they only output 20w, which to be frank is very disappointing. They also have inbuilt bass reduction at high volumes, not really what I'm after. Obviously look good thoThe RNS 510 sound isn't great but it's a lot better than the standard RCD300 unit.

I moved on to an RNS510. Much better.
I believe a lot of this was addressed in the 525 so hope I'm not P-ing on your chips, just saying what I experienced.
The kenwood will be easily to use on a custom system I'd imagine.
