What can I do with an RNS 510?
« on: May 04, 2012, 07:57:30 pm »
Hi all, Ive got a brand-new Golf MK6 with an RNS 510 Nav Fitted (Hasn't got the 6 Disc changer) coming in a few months.

What can I do with it... Does it play DVD films? Can I watch TV on it? Would it be possible to have a Sub connected? Or any another useful things I can get it to do!!?

Cheers

You will be able to listen to

- Listen to radio
- Watch DVD
- Insert SD card to listen to music
- Copy music from the SD and store it to the RNS hard drive


You can add on (£££)
- Bluetooth kit
- TV receiver
- Reverse camera
- Add screens

so on and so on........the add on don't tend to be cheap through.

Ah nice one! Ive got the bluetooth kit added and the camera too. Where can I get the TV receiver? Is it a VW part?

What screens can I add?

Like most things there are 'cost effective' kits available to doo anything.

Someone will post a part number for the TV receiver.

Screen, you will need to look at Kufatec website. There is an adaptor for the RNS unit to plug additional screens into - think it was about £160 give or take. Then you just get whatever screen you want

I believe the part number for a genuine VW TV tunner is 3C0919148B < but is appprox £400.00

It is possible to enable video in motion, your looking at £20 average to do this. Couple of people on here can do it using a plug in lead for the RNS.

Yup - quite a few have done so. SQ still ain't as good as a dedicated aftermarket HU. I'd also argue functionality is limited eg can only play mp3 and wma files, DVD format discs (ie not data discs), etc.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Isn't it 3 points for having a screen the driver can see while moving ?
