I'm sure the sound quality is good though with it being an Alpine! 29.5 degrees for the passenger temperature? They must be melting! :D

You would still need the wiring harness for the BT kit.

You would be best off buying a complete set like this which comes with everything you need. All you would need then is coding of the RNS and the BT unit.

I have the older version of this kit, ending in D. This is the same, but has the newer firmware.

I have a 5K0 kit in the for sale section

another thing to consider when buying an RNS is that when you sell the car it will still fetch a good price (early A versions still sell around the £300 mark)

Is it worth paying the extra £200 for the F-H versions over the C?

The C has a smaller hard disk than the others and is slightly slower in operation however if you think you might want to install later firmware versions if they release any new features  then go for a H

I'm happy with my C but I'm aware that I may not get any new features that they decide to add in the future

I have an RNS 510 C, MDI and 7P6 BT kit and I can't fault it. I was going to go with the Kenwood for £999 fitted by the dealers but I didn't want wires or a USB stick coming out the head unit as I like things hidden and once I priced it all up and fitting by Eddie NL it was cheaper aswell. Well worth it  :happy2:

Also I believe the 5K0 kits Eddie is selling are the newer version of the 7P6 iirc and its great, especially if you don't have a highline dash as everything is done through the HU

As mentioned previously, it's worth considering the Zenec 2010.

Cheers for the advice. Yeah they look like great units but can't find used ones being sold anywhere and the cost of a new is around £800, I can get a RNS510 H, Bluetooth module and iPod connectivity for the same price.

Cheers Eddie, I'll be interested in the Bluetooth kit if I get this RNS for the right price. I'll be in touch over the next few days if I do :) Do I need the Multi-function steering wheel to get the most use out of the RNS unit? If so I'm gonna have to grab one off EbY for another £100, haha.

Hi
No You don't need MFSW to control RNS. Lets say - MFSW is helpful but not essential.
