Title: Help me spec an RNS510 for my needs please
Post by: PT82 on April 20, 2015, 09:36:14 pm

Hi guys

Well my head hurts from so much RNS510 research. I apologise but I need help. What is the best value for money for my needs? I am after the following RNS510 to replace my RCD300, but which version? I want:

LED screen
Sat nav with 7 digit postcode
DVD (think they all are)

I don't have a MFSW or highline display, I have a 57 plate 2008 car (no battery drain as current canbus should be fine) so I wont need coding? If so for what?
Don't care about bluetooth, reverse camera and DAB and don't own an iPod.
The only extra pieces I will need are sat nav antenna, will I need an aerial adaptor?

Personally I'd just go for the cheapest you can find. The LCD screen is 100% (I've had both).

You'll need an aerial adapter and a GPS antenna.

You could fit an RNS315 as that has Bluetooth, DAB and Nav all built in. It still doesn't have pre-outs, but that can be overcome with a conversion lead from the speaker leads
