Returned from holiday to find this.
« Reply #15 on: April 01, 2013, 09:01:19 am »
Just seeing the pics brought back the feelings of mine being done last year so I know exactly how you feel. The little sh*ts need their hands cutting off :fighting: I'm very surprised this has happened in an airport car park which should be secure

Mine got done was i was out for lunch, was only in the restaurant for an hour (12 til1pm). My RNS didn't get nicked, only lost an  old gen iPod nano from the the armrest and my house keys (so paid for all locks to be replaced), but I had drivers window scratched, drivers a pillar dented by a brick passenger window smashed and leather scuff along with steering wheel where the brick hit and steering column. I was parked out the way to prevent doors hitting my car etc and i was under 2 security cameras but they wasn't rewired in the upgrade and where dummies, the manager told me this and so did the police and said the criminals knew the blackspots in the the area quite well as the local leisure centre gets done regularly :fighting:  

I got it all fixed and the leather couldn't be fixed so got new leather seat covers but total repair come to over £2500, luckily I had protected NCD.

I hope you get it sorted soon, I'm just even more of a pain trying to find a decent parking space after this has happened and paranoid especially as the other halfs car got broken into the other week

I thought the days of car radios being nicked were long gone.

As said earlier, they've obviously realised there's a market for the RNS510, and presumably similar spec sat nav systems in other makes.
2012 Mk6 GTD. Tornado Red. TPMS, RNS510 and reverse camera retrofit.

Gutted for you. I know the feeling. Scumbags just seem to get away with it even if they are caught.

That's why I tinted my front windows. It's would be a b*tch to smash them now.  :evilgrin:

a sad sight

I know they have had a lot of problems in Holland with thefts of these units, so much that VW have come up with the Navi Lock



Code can easily be changed with several tools that are available. Some people will still buy the units without the code as long as it is cheap.

might be an idea for anyone fitting an RNS to their car to write their Postcode or mark the unit so it is identifiable if listed on ebay or forums
Genuine VCDS VAG-COM HEX-USB + Genuine Vag Commander + Genuine VAG Tacho + Genuine VAG CAN PRO  + RNS Manager for Video in Motion and New Pin Code for RNS510


Cluster and Key coding

Location Great Yarmouth


Retrofits fitted by me see my members rides

Feel sorry for you to come back to this, there are some scum around, its awful that sickening feeling as you walk up to you're car :sick: .. Come judgement day  :evilgrin:
Can't believe the mess they made. I had a VW done years ago, they smashed the window but didn't take the unit as I had the removable front in my pocket. It was just a pain in the arse getting rid of all the glass in the door at least.
Bye Bye Edition 30.

Mate ... I think all our hearts go out to you. A car park ding is bad enough but that is just awful.
I hope you manage to get it sorted. I know that's not the point, but it might help.

These 'people' do not realise the harm and hurt they are causing for the sake of a few quid on the black market.
I can't find words for the barstewardss.
