It's a 'c' version and you will have to update your can gateway as this RNS510 will drain your battery as well! :smiley:

Jonm,

Where have you found the RNS510 you have listed?

I stress the importance of being careful when buying an RNS510. A huge number have been messed around (hardware wise) due to them being stolen.

I'd recommend buying off a reliable long standing member on here if possible, at least you know where its come from and can ask a few questions.

I have a version B which I may be tempted to sell if you are interested.

Hope im not highjacking the thread but what members on here sell RNS 510's and either fit them or could point us in the right direction. Im struggling to find good info ebay has a few but from what im readin it seems I need to pay attention to whom I buy them from.  I also want to get the MDI kit and bluetooth kit, must say Im thinking of getting an aftermarket unit if this proves to be too much hassle.....

Software is software, its easy to crack if you have the right tools so that wouldn't be a problem... but this one was off ebay but due to the price he was asking which I might add was far less than those listed on here I decided to pick a cheaper one up from ebay...

Remember just because a member on here is selling something this alone does not mean they are reliable (no offense to the ones who are) as I have bought things from a member on here in the past and after weeks of no communication I had to travel to get the goods I paid for after tracking their address down...

So it doesn't matter where you buy it from... lowest price & best condition guarantees a sale in my eyes

There are a few members on here who are selling a unit but I’ve found them priced higher than the ones on eBay… one reason I opted for eBay… Just check their feedback and get a mobile number so you can speak with them.. always use paypal then your covered.

I found it to be a simple process.. mines in the post now..

Watch what your doing on ebay the cheap C version are not actually LED versions...which is why they are cheaper :confused: Looking on ebay you may pick a C LED version up for maybe £480 at the cheapest then you need to pay the silly postage fee's, I cut all this out

C LED = £500 posted or fitted
F LED = £600 posted or fitted
Audi A3 G version gloss black surround = £500 posted

Another thing to bear in mind, is the sellers on ebay list the UK as there country but the parcels come from the baltic states.
I fitted one for a chap near me and it was faulty, he sent it back and they sent him another one which was fine apart from not having a map on the HDD.

btw, my one is still for sale :confused:
