That looks like an awesome piece of kit. How does it stack up against the RNS510? What price did you get? Looks much better, and love the fact that you can actually get album art on there. That is something the RNS510 really lacks.

Thank's guy's,some bad news as it look's like it'll be the end of next week before I get this installed as my car is going in for some other bit's and bob's doing as well at the same time,I used to fit stuff like this myself but I think i'm getting lazy in my old age! :smiley:

Cheer's mate,I can't wait for it to be fitted,I was dissapointed with the RNS510 in term's of bass response and loudness so am hoping this will do the trick,may upgrade my front speaker's to something better too!

Hi Sanj,

What's happening to the RNS510 ? I'm looking for an upgrade from a MFD2 for my ED30 ?
