Unsure where it fits I just read the thread that is linked above.

Got my RNS510 installed this morning, looks brilliant.

Just an update on the DAB, although I am not sure which version I have (no idea how to check), I have the DAB option.

Basically what you need to is hold down the 'set-up' button when you turn the unit on and after a few seconds a menu will appear, which gives a list of radio options.

I need to speak to Darren who supplied me the unit to ask what version this is and whether the DAB will actually work if a DAB aerial is plugged in.

There should be a part number on the label of the unit. It will end in a,b or c. If you have it hooked it up you can get it to come on the screen. Think it is in the settings somewhere.

Thanks will check it later on, missus has took the car out.

I have read that if you hold down the set-up button for 20 seconds after powering the unit up you can bring up a hidden menu that will allow you to see the firmware/version on the unit. Tried it but it doesn't work.

I think I have read somewhere that the hidden menu has to be activated in VCDS on some RNS's.

Any proper VCDS cable will do it, i.e micro can etc

Thanks, but what I meant was which one of these do I need the left (908) or on the right (409): http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/download/
