RNS-510 - CD Changer

[Moschops]

Morning all,

Can a CD changer be retro fitted to the arm rest of a car installed with the RNS-510 (Touch Screen) Sat Nav?

If so is it easy or a laborious job? And what parts besides the changer would I need?

I presume you can, but imo i wouldnt bother as you have that lovely built in hard drive and memory card slot to cram in all your mp3's. I have never used my changer.

Indeed it works with the headunit.  You need to swap a cable round but that only takes a minute.  I have had the unit installed for 2 months and have not used the changer once.  There really isnt any point to be honest unless you want to listen to music without any track names

With a HD and SD cards for playing music i wouldnt need a cd changer

My car came with the 6-cd changer from the factory with MFD2. Ever since I've fitted my RNS-510 it's been dormant... hdd and sd card sort everything out.
MDI interface is nice though, my brother's rigged up a 40GB mini portable hdd in his Iroc.

I do find the changer quite handy.

Sometimes you get a new CD and wanna whack it in there, until you can be arsed to rip to MP3 etc.
I wish there was a way you could put a CD into the RNS510 and have it auto rip...

if i get a new cd i just pop it in the RNS510 itself

Me too, then you can still appreciate the track name listings

My RNS510 CD slot usually has a DVD Video of all my favourite music videos... so I can quickly switch and watch DVDs when I'm stuck on the M25.

I do find the CD changer handy at times... if only to be full to the brim with bad ass tunez which ever source I select....

would really like to get the RNS-510, what would it cost for the unit and fitting roughly?

[cmdrfire]

900 Euros and an hour of your time, good sir.

Works out to £950!!! There was a time when it could be bought for barely £800.

You can still get them for £650 on ebay, you just have to look around a bit and spot a bargain !!
