Genuine RNS 510?

  Man that was difficult! I edited the picture I posted earlier with my code on, but everytime I Inserted the new pictures image code, it showed the old picture.

I then realised I needed to rename the image

I assume it was the 4 digit radio code you were editing out?

Can you transfer music via DVD or data CD? Is it easy enough to create and organise folders too?

Admittedly i havent searched on here yet, but are there instructions for the RNS online?

Yes mate! If that is yours on the yellow sticker, I suggest doing the same. Also you want it off the unit before you fit it.

Someone has posted a link on this forum for the RNS510 manual. Just do a search.
I am 99% sure you can transfer music by disc, and yeas its really easy to create folders. All step-by-step instructions 


...oh and I would still ask Darren, or Steve or others if the firmware can be updated   They are always coming out with new features for this great unit! The RNS510 is one of the best mods you can get IMHO. If you spend alot of time in the car you will really love it.

RNS 510 Manual. If you take some time you can print it out and make a booklet for the glovebox

Cheers monte, appreciate the help.

I notice the 2680 firmware has all the advantages of the 2660, but also isnt subject to the battery drain so ill maybe see about upgrading to it.

My only worry is that if the unit does have a dodgy past and i upgrade it, it'll end up blocked leaving me stranded with an unusable RNS!

And assuming it arrives and all is well, based on everyones opinions on them im certainly hoping to feel the same. Ive never seen how good the quality of DVD's are on teh screen though, so im hoping its as good, if not better than the Kenwood i saw yesterday...

like I say mate, when I did my firmware update I was a bit scared after hearing some horror stories so I asked Darren, "what if I brick the unit?" he replied saying It shouldn't, and if it did it can still be sorted

Send Darren a pm. He is a great guy

Ive already been in contact once or twice ;)

Same manufacture date as mine. Firmware will be 900 unless someone has upgraded it previously.

But what i will say is, mine was a version b, had a seal broken and its performed perfectly and has had firmware updates! ;)

Here's something interesting.... I've discovered a forum which assists people to unlock VW radio's. There is lengthy discussion on the RNS510. It appears that there is more advanced methods available to discover the units code. So advanced that you can then upgrade units which have been tampered with in this way.

Unsoldering and decoding the EEPROM is supposedly the amatures way.
