installing rns 510 dab
« on: May 09, 2020, 12:40:18 pm »
Hi All

New to your site and looking for some advise please.
Just purchased an RNS 510 Dab model and looking to install the DAB aerial
Going in to a mk 5 R32 2006 model but do not want to put a window dab aerial in and have found from your site that a polo aerial would be the best approach. Part numbers 6r0 035 501a and 6r0 849 a .
After reading this it has been noted that an extra fakra cable would need to be run fron the new aerial to the radio.This is where i have become a little confused as the 2 aerial sockets are already taken on the back of the radio, so with extra cable do i substitute one of them or do i have to buy a 2 in to one cable.If someone can give me a link to the correct 6 metre fakra cable and if required the 2 in to one socket cable this would be much appreciated.
thank you
p.s sorry if this has been covered before but i have spent hours trying to find the answer

thanks for the quick reply.
still waiting for the rns to come ..so you are saying there will be an extra black plug (a DAB input) on the back of the rns to accomodate for the new wire?
the part number you have given is that instead of 6R0 035 501A (6r0 035 501D )
sorry to sound vague as i want to try and get this correct first time.
regards
Dave

Yes an extra black FAKRA connector on the rear
501D is the one you want. Have a look on ebay. I paid £££ for mine
