It's the RNS510 that plays DVDs and has nav functions - the RCD510 is a touchscreen radio/6-CD unit.

IIRC both will work with the soundpack.

Have a look here, a good summary of what is supported by what.

Basically, if you want nav or DVD playback you need the RNS510. Both the RNS510 and RCD510 can support reverse cameras, but installation of one of those is probably not for the faint-hearted.

Depending on the age of your car, you might need to upgrade your Canbus controller or you might have problems with battery drain when the car is switched off.

Cheers, Mark.

Only some of the RCD510's have the video input for the RVC whereas all RNS510s support the RVC
