Title: RNS fitting in Kent
Post by: markevo6 on May 05, 2011, 08:10:01 pm

Hi ,

Just purchased an RNS - Version C to replace the MFD2 in my 06 Gti.

Is there a recommended company in Kent that can fit it for me , or someone that does installs off the forums maybe.

I'll also need to update the canbus I believe so still have to get one of those.

Any advice would be greatfully received.

Thanks

Mark

If i was in kent Mark I would come and lend a hand but im a little further away in Poole!

as for a canbus, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CANGATEWAY-1K0907530AA-CAN-GATEWAY-RNS-510-RCD-510-/170601532805?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_GPSSystems_GPSSystems&hash=item27b8a4cd85#ht_3131wt_1141 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CANGATEWAY-1K0907530AA-CAN-GATEWAY-RNS-510-RCD-510-/170601532805?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_GPSSystems_GPSSystems&hash=item27b8a4cd85#ht_3131wt_1141) I got my new one from that link, and it was in fact newer than the one they listed!

Offer £65 and they should take it  :happy2:

Fitting is as easy as this, the CAN will need coding, have a look on the VAGCOM part of the forum some one will be near you.



shows how the trim comes off

I'm in Paddock Wood , I think Apollo is closest to me ( Rainham ) and would be fantastic to get it done - will drop a Pm when everything has turned up.

Just ordered a new canbus from one of the earlier links so should have that next week some time hopefully.


Thanks to everyone for all the usefull and good advice , such a great site this .


 :happy2:

Cheers Mark

Of course mate wouldnt be a problem

If you were to get an RNS510, youd definately need a can gateway upgrade. PM me and we can discuss
