Title: RNS 510 cover
Post by: danfalcon on September 04, 2013, 09:23:14 pm: hey guys,

just about to get my RNS 510 fitted and i was wondering if there are any covers out the that people have bought/made to hide the screen from thugs?

i have seen the lock you can get for it but didnt really fancy taking that route, would just prefer something to hide it

thanks :happy2:

IIRC it's four pins which fit either side of the RNS, then a plate goes over the top to cover the unit. Trouble is, when the plate isn't fitted, those four pins are still on show and they look rubbish!

Post by: danfalcon on September 09, 2013, 11:29:22 am: Yeah that was partly my thinking, i would prefer it to be hidden/disguised! A big lock like that just advertises that you have something worth taking
