Title: Adding DAB to RNS510 Version B
Post by: downsideup on June 16, 2014, 11:14:57 am

Has anyone successfully added DAB to the RNS510 B stereo.

Seen a few companies offering a fully integrated system as below so was wondering if anyone had used them managed to do something similar themselves.

Might be cheaper and will certainly be a better result, if you sold the RNS and bought a DAB one. No daft remote controls to bugger about with, all you need is an aerial (not the stick on type that satnavsystems are selling), and fully integrated solution. £300 should get you there easy.

agreed, I would prefer an OEM solution as above.
Do you use the sat nav much? if not sell it
An rcd510 DAB would be about £220 used.....

I have got as tom tom so can use that but I do like how the Nav is integrated into the high line.

Will check eBay prices out.

Is there a recommendation on what revision RCD510 to get?

they are ebay outlet for
http://www.satnavsystems.com/main/

they fit new nav systems into vag cars, and then have loads of non-nav DAB units to sell from brand new cars, so probably 2014 stock still with warranty, no worries about ebay Chinese copies ect  :drinking:

He has only got RCD310s which I don't think support SD cards, which is important

Will see if he has any RCD510s

Yeah I noticed that. I wonder if new vw's come with those as standard?
I would defo want an SD or USB as well.
Email him via ebay.
