Seller link. Not me. It came packaged from SW London based SATNAV systems, although seller not branded as them. Units removed in bulk when fitting SATNAV units to new cars (fleet maybe)?

The RCD 510 is a great upgrade, sound is better and has the SD slot, touch screen and pairs really well if you have the OEM bluetooth fitted.  Only thing is if you do go bluetooth then get a newer version of the RCD 510 as it will display the track names for bluetooth audio streaming.

I'm thinking about the RCD 510DAB.
Never had DAB before, does it make any difference/ work well?
where do you fit the long windscreen aerial thingy, under the dash behind headunit? i would'nt want to be able to see it stuck to the windscreen

is this the one to get?

^^^^

Yes the DAB function is very good, never use mine at all though as I only listen to my downloaded music in the car. I got a AFAR Amplified Internal Glass DAB Aerial from these peeps...

Clicky here

I also got a Antenna Adapter from eBay. Only a few quid, some peeps do without this and wire directly into the headunit but I didn't....

I've just bought a brand new RCD 510 off ebay for £200, very happy with it though, how does the ipod connect as I don't think I noticed anywhere that the looms plug in connect, but not properly look yet as fitted it in a rush to make sure it was working lol.
