RNS-510 Rev "D" Unit ??
« on: June 17, 2011, 07:36:49 am »
Just seen a seller on the bay flogging a version "D" RNS-510 in which he states - has a 40gb HDD (Not 30GB as previous) and faster processor.

Is this a kosher unit, as I've never heard of a "D" Rev before. Says it's running firmware 3890.

Is it actually better and faster than the previous units ?

Ds are just coming out, thought 3890 is not a final firmware so it might be rubbish

Rev D is what all new 2011 VWs will have fitted. Faster processor, graphics and larger HDD


VCDS Scanning/Coding, RNS and MDI retrofits, and specialist mechanics services with VAGtek available - Just PM me for details.

Think I'll have this installed in the new Polo GTI when it arrives  :love:

Are satnav systems okay as an installer?

Install it yourself it's a piece of pi$$ to do literally plug and play.

Didn't think the Polo had the option of the RNS510? only the RNS310

The bigger hard drive is just for the amount of space the Maps & POI take up now the actual space for audio is smaller I think just 13gb?

Yep, RNS310 only for the Polo GTI.

That is why I stayed with the bog standard head unit, so I can get an RNS510 retro-fitted with all the options added (Bluetooth TV etc etc) :happy2:

Retro fitting is the way forward as its a lot cheaper
