Bits I need to retrofit RNS
« on: August 07, 2011, 10:53:41 pm »
I am thinking of upgrading my basic rcd300 to the rns510 sat nav unit at some point. I was just wondering what other bits I will need apart from the unit. Will I need to buy a shark fin aerial or similar? Cheers.

Nope. Just the gps antenna. Potentially the radio antenna adaptor but given the cost (£26 when I last looked a few years back), you go without this.

Might be worth getting some sticky pads to stick the antenna. Under the centre diffuser is the best place.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
