OK, when buying a RNS510 should I pay note to anything specific? other than making sure it has the code with it?

If you do a search, you'll see what you need including part numbers, price and an installation guide.

Basically any canbus version later than (and incl.)  L will be fine. The L version was introduced in 2007 cars onwards. You'll also need to get the unit coded as it will be "blank" and won't have any settings on it.

Johnny if you take the ashtray out on yours the Canbus should be behind there,  after 2004 they where above the pedals and after 2006 they where behind the relay plate above the small cubby.

Yes but you need to update the firmware too.

which is more upgradable?

The B or C?

i.e can the B unit be simply upgraded to the same standard as the C? or does the C have greater potential than the B version?

Yes but you need to update the firmware too.

Would I need the canbus then? I've read that the version B doesn't suffer from battery drain, but i've also read that certain firmwares can cause battery drain with the version B.
