Help on head unit what do I need to do ?
« on: December 15, 2012, 04:13:10 pm »
If I was going to upgrade what's the best one to get that has everything on it like the satnav and iPhone lead ? Rns510 mfd3 is this a good one and I read something about a can us gateway what's this all about ?

At the moment I just have a standard one with 6disc changer in the armrest

If you want to stick OEM and get the RNS which has nav etc then this is why you'll need:

RNS510 £550+ (for rev c with led screen)
MDI kit ~£120 (depending if you have it in the arm rest or glovebox)
Bluetooth kit ~£200

Depending on the age of your car you might have to upgrade the can gateway to avoid battery drain which is roughly £80.

You can get the above cheaper but they are rough prices. Also depending where you are there are people who can get hold of all the stuff you need
