Hi there,
Have been looking at the RNS-510 on ebay and I'm thinking about gettin a refurbished one. My car is a 2008 edition 30 fitted with the RCD 500. Here is a link to the one I am looking at:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190666425103?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Will I require a MFSW?? Does this seem like a good deal?
Thanks
Matt

any comments?

hi mate ive fitted the rns 510 in my edition 30 works lovely. i just needed to buy a new aerial lead. clive :happy2:
-
Good price For the Led C version :happy2:
Comes with everything u need! You don't need the Steering wheel to operate the Rns510.
Do it. You won't regret it :wink:
-
for a little more you can have a Brand new H version
-
^^^^ What Eddie said!
519 for a unit B is quite a lot. Get the LED version. Much better :D hopefully your canbus is a latest version so you shouldnt have battery drain issue.
-
Excellent replies guys! :happy2: Thanks, helped a lot! Couple more questions though lol...
Does this unit have six disc changer like my current RCD 500? and is there much difference between C and H?
Thanks again! :smiley:
-
It doesn't come with a 6 CD changer, but with the HDD built in, you can load around 25GB of music, so you don't ever need to use CD's again.
From my understanding, the H has a larger HDD, quicker processor and then the obvious benefits of more up to date firmware and probably maps too. And there is quite a difference in speed between the C & H thanks to the faster processor. It also seems that you can only go up to a certain firmware update on the older units due to the processor, whereas the newer firmware will work on the H.
-
If you go for a Version C make sure its an LED one. As mentioned above theres not much difference between the C and H.
If you are going for a C version N13KKF over on R32oc can get them supply them with everything needed for £550 or I believe Eddie on here can get the new H versions if you want the newest one. :happy2:
-
Again great help thanks! How much could I pick up an 'H' version for then?
-
This seems good too, very tempted!

Yeah another good one!
You should really get the latest version you can afford though :happy2:
See Eddie for a H version :wink:
Can't believe the prices :surprised:
When I think what I paid for my B version when that what first released, I could cry :sad1:
.....still worth every penny I paid though. If you spend a fair bit of time in the car the RNS510 is one of the best mods you can buy! :notworthy:

get your post count up and I will PM you :happy2:

I'm also looking at upgrading from my rcd 300.
Could you drop me a pm eddie with the different options you supply for the rns 510?
Thanks mate
-
This is the one I'm looking at, says its basically plug and play ready?
Is this a good buy?
Item number for eBay.....
251047759562
Is there much difference between this and a led One? Apart from I guess better screen?
Thanks
-
Just get the best u can afford mate! If you can get a H version off eddie for £600ish I'd snap it up :happy2:
(sorry ed I don't know how much u sell em for)
Mine is a B version upgraded to a F and I have the latest V8 maps.
As its been upgraded above a B the SD card slot now accepts up to a 32GB SDHC card on which I store all my music on now. The B version only supported up to a 2GB SD card.
Other features have been added and upgraded with the update too!
The new H version will have all the latest updates plus newer features and maybe upgraded parts.
I love my RNS to bits, but the Only thing that lets it down is the screen. :sad1:
The newer LED screens are miles better and alot brighter.
On an overcast day my screen is nice but dim. :laugh:
I'd recommend a C version or above, but also, given the choice, if I was buying one again, I buy one from one of the forum sellers like Eddie or Darren.
You will always get more help and support from these guys than you would from someone in Poland, and they are clever guys too :happy2:

Cheers monte,
Only thing that attracts me to the eBay number I posted is that it says it is ready to install into older models and will suffer no battery drain?
Is that possible?
Cheers mate
-
ok thanks saintsteve! :happy2:

To do this I think the RNS will be running a modified firmware, so its not the best option for getting around it. I would personally do a canbus upgrade
-
I am able to get a 'D' version LED screen for £560 delivered...is this a good price???
-
Need one of these too (latest H version), car came with the standard cd/radio...is a 06 plate though so i`d need the upgrade too.
Can someone give me a price or does that have to be via pms?
-
Well i've been told to PM Eddie-NL...PM'd him twice and haven't had a reply, i've been told hes the guy to ask though!

IMO anything around £600 is a cracking price for a C version or newer :happy2:
Buy it, Fit it, LOVE it :happy2:

I am interested in a 'H' version as well but post count too low to pm Eddie-NL
