Title: Sat Nav / No Disc
Post by: CarlW on October 12, 2013, 08:45:46 pm

Don't know much about sat navs..Seen a car at an auction i'm willing to bid on but says there is no disc for the satnav.. looks like the rns510 from the picture. Are the discs replaceable or costly or important?

It wont be an rns510 as they dont use discs for the satnav. Is it the MFD2?

Thanks for the quick reply..

No it looks like this which is thought was the RNS510.. 4 buttons either side too so pretty sure it was unless the auctioneer doesn't know that it doesn't use a disc maybe?

It could be that the seller was running the satnav maps from the disc and hadnt installed it on the hard drive.

You can get the latest maps. I sell them if you need it.
