Alternative to RNS510

[stealthwolf]

I havent found any at £300, let alone £200 so I guess I need to keep looking..

Deako meant he got his for £600. You are not going to find a new RNS for under £500 and een used ones go for £200-400.

I have found a rns510, its version C. Am I likely to suffer the battery drain issues, its going into an 06 GTI?

Probably. You need to know your canbus version.

Ive started thinking of upgrading to something like the Vw Nav / hdd unit but the Golf R Nav took a bizzarre route compared to the Tom Tom the other night?

Probably. You need to know your canbus version.

Can I check this physically or do I need to find someone with VCDS?

Vcds

Is there a rule of thumb, e.g you need canbus version x with RNS510 version C etc?

My local garage have kit to read error codes so I will give them a call tomorrow to see if they can find out what version I have.
