Title: RNS510 Hard Disk Upgrade
Post by: xxx_mojo_xxx on January 24, 2010, 06:22:07 pm

Has anyone figured out if it is possible to replace the 30Gb disk in the unit to something larger.

Any help or a "How To" guide would be great.

Thanks in advance.  :wink:

I think to do this you would need a very cool running drive and as QD says trouble walking.  :signLOL:

Mojo, I see from this thread that you are the man to discuss the RNS510. I'm looking at my first upgrade to my Graphite Blue standard GTI. Do you know anywhere you can supply and fit the RNS510 as I'm looking for a good recommended company here.
Happy days !
Cheers.
Mayo

Hi Mayo - hate to disappoint but I had my RNS510 factory fitted. Apparently rev. C. units were available as an option on the late 08 production run.

Presumably you've checked how much they are from VW parts?
