CAN Upgrade
« on: May 02, 2011, 08:07:13 pm »
Hi

Looking into updating CAN in my 05 plate with "F" CAN

Would this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180572923211&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT work with the lastest RNS510 LED ?

Is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170601532805&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT not as good in some way ?

Many thanks in advance

the one in the first link is a newer version than the second, AD v AA, either version will work fine with a C version RNS

Newer ones are worth it if your going to retrofit other bits and pieces, i've got an AD in mine, and its given a masssive list of options some of which are obviously for other models of car.

what i can say from my experience however is that the can bus controller is a PITA to get to!
MK6 GT TDI  - CW - LUX pack
GONE
MkV Golf 1.9TDI Sport in DBP, 160,000 miles and climbing!

Retrofits by me:GT front end,OEM bixenons with auto-levelling/washers, Valeo LED Rears, MFSW + Highline SWCM, Cruise Control, 30byte Highline CECM, Highline clocks, Rain/Light Sensor, Auto-dimming Rear view Mirror, RNS-510 LED (Ver H; SW: 4020), Fiscon Basic Bluetooth, MDI + Aux, Armrest, Reverse Camera LOW, TPMS..what next...
