Post by: bakili on July 18, 2012, 10:01:46 am

Hey guys,
I been offered RNS 510 B version to buy, seller wants £400, but agreed to £350 cash on collection. Is it good price for B version RNS 510?

I bought my first one at 300 and was faulty!

Second one I bought at 350 and been fine ever since. So yeah 350 is a good price :)

 Thanks guys,
Its now provisionally sold to me  :smiley:
Hopefully should pick it up this weekend.

Just a question about RNS 510 reliability, i seen few of them go wrong quite often. What do I need to look for, warranty seal still intact on unit which I want to buy.
Here what seller put in add:
 is currently running Josi's modified 2760 firmware with the older gateway software so that it doesn't have the battery drain problem on cars with older CAN gateways, DVD in motion is also enabled and works fine,The V7 maps are installed on the unit at the moment.
I have RCD510 DAB (which will be soon for sale) but i am not sure to keep or sale, as I am bit worried about reliability on RNS units.

Mine worked fine and then just stopped working. I don't think there is anything to check for really as long as it powers up ok.

Well, picked unit on Friday and very happy with it.
Seller was absolutely brilliant, to be honest never dealt with someone so genuine as him.
Updated firmware to 4020 and loaded latest maps for me.
Amazing piece of kit
