I had an RNS510. Unbelievable unit. Only reason I sold is it was faulty. But seriously would recommend it!

I have an RNS and can see why people love them.
However I miss the Zenec NC2010 I had before as it had more spec as standard, good dash integration and an exponentially better Nav that lets you have speed camera warnings, even running in the background with Nav turned off.

The rns don't have pre outs-that's the main reason i went for the alpine in the end

It doesn't have pre-outs, but I can supply you with a harness which is plug and play into the newer amps which accept hi- level speaker inputs. It means not butchering your stock wiring in any way. This is the way I have done my own demo system and a few others.

The 510 can have pre outs as such, by some coding it makes the speaker out line level to goto an amp, you just need to do a bit of soldering to put phonos on the wires,  job done check this link out, I've used it on my amp sounds great
