Over the next month (at most) I'll be getting all the bitsI need to upgrade my current set up to an RNS system and then getting someone to fit it all as everytime I fit something I break things
. So I just wanna make sure everything I want is compatable with each other and if theres any adaptors/cables I would need to get aswell.
Current set up is an '05 GTI fitted with an RCD 300 with ipod dock (was CD changer), midline, no MFSW and no roof aerial. Set up I want to go to is RNS 510 LED C or newer (price dependant) with MDI and bluetooth. Steering Wheel and midline will stay the same as it pushes it way above budget.
I know I will need a canbus upgrade but what else will I need adaptor wiring wise. I know to get an MDI with new loom (
looking at this one) and an RNS with a GPS antena but is there anything else??
As for bluetooth this is where I start to get a bit confused and I don't really wanna be paying the £300 I've seen some OEM VW kits advertised for on ebay. I have found
this one on the bay for £169 . I know it says its for the white dot matrix display and I have red, but I was reading over on r32oc that as its not going through the dot matrix as it is midline and I havn't got a MFSW this will be fine and I will have full control through the head unit only (which is what I want). Is this correct or is what I have read wrong. Also is the microphone hidden or will it be on show at the top of the A piller or somewhere as I would prefer it to be hidden.
Any help, comments or info on where to get them cheap would be greatly appreciated
