RNS510 Q's
« on: September 05, 2011, 10:50:37 pm »
http://www.oemretrofits.co.uk/mfd3-rns510.shtm

Is this the correct and legit way to get a RNS510 fitted? These guys decent, seen them recommended them on here. Prices seem reasonable

What steps need to be taken to get bluetooth working for my iPhone through an RNS510, or is this not an option?

Still quite new to the Mk5s and VW in general after coming from a french background with cars.

Sorry for asking what is probably a very simple Q.

You can get them from eBay or various other sellers around the forums.

Fitting is reasonably straight forward.

Is this not a recommended website? Not too keen on buying expensive electrical goods 2nd hand from eBay. A lot of them are supposed to be a bit sketchy from Lithuania, Poland etc?

I didn't say it wasn't recommended.  I suspect their source will be the same as others.

Bluetooth can be added, it requires a separate interface.

Some of the ebay sellers have been around for a while now.
I bought a MFD2 quite a few years ago for my Mk2 Octavia from Lithuania and it was spot on and I believe it is still going strong now.

As long as it's a seller with decent feedback I see no need to worry.  :smiley:

I have a Fiscon Basic Plus and I must say its an excellent handsfree. No voice control on the RNS, but I can't say that bothers me in the slightest  :signLOL:

The texts don't pop up in any case mate! Only phonebook, numbers etc (though apparently it works on some phones)

But  :notworthy: sensible choice.

The plus does, but it doesn't work with all phones (not iPhones in any case)
