Looks like a Chinese clone of the 510...
Without traction power is nothing!

Cheapest I've seen for a new spec is £6-700+

And well worth it, from an integration and reliability point of view. It also has the HDD for storing all your music on which very few HU's out there have. The OEM BT module will also be loads better than the one built into that unit.

But then again, you pays your money, you takes your choice.

Heard some horror stories about these Chinese units and their after market support.

Of course the VW units going to be better, the thing that drew me to it was the tv tuner can't beat a bit of Sky Sports News while the Mrs is shopping  :happy2:

I've said many time but if you can't stretch to RNS fully specced, I'd go for a Zenec NC2010 (coming down used prices as a 2011D model is out).

Has integrated Parrot Bluetooth, works with Highline/MFSW, ipod charging/controlable through MFSW, has a nice slick menu and you can put in a freeview box too, as well as dual zone (kids can watch films in back, you can have radio/nav in front).

My new car has an RNS and have to admit I think I miss the Zenec.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
