RNS 510 - where to buy? & MFD2 where to sell?

[Lean]

Okay finally thinking I need the RNS I have v4 map already which on MFD2 doesn't give any TMS unless I'm in Europe. My questions are...

RNS 510
1. Where is the best place to buy it?
2. I have a parrot bluetooth installed already with CAN bus cable thingy etc etc! - will I be able to use this after removing my MFD2 and replacing with RNS 510
-also should I only be looking at B version ones? and what is the main difference in getting those over the a ones?
MFD2
1. Best place to sell it?
2. What price should I expect to get for it?


I do know about ebay but really would appreciate some info from you guys who have bought from there and maybe if you have any recommedations on sellers to use or even whcih ones to steer clear of.

Cheers

best place to buy is ebay and if the parrot is working on the canbus, i cant imagine it not workin with the rns510.

Cool - another thing I just thought about is - I have the CD changer in armrest would that still work? Also can you play ipod/mp3 player through the RNS or do I need a seperate fitting?

[JPC]

the CD player might work (probably)

And the Ipod will work with an MDI input, they are over 100quid i think and will replace the cd changer

Hmmm.. well I could look into that later I guess, the main thing is getting the RNS and selling the MFD2

[JPC]

yep...ebay is your friend! ;)

I bought from a guy in poland, make sure its new and got the code etc and the seller has got good feedback etc

CD player in my armrest works fine with my RNS-510.

The OEM stuff is better than the chinese RNS knockoff things.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I also have been looking at the RNS510 and WD6050 so am glad you posted the topic as you have asked exactly the same questions as I was going to.

I have one other question though.  I currently have the standard stereo but have the ipod lead running to the glove box.  Is this the same lead I need for the RNS510 to give me full ipod control or is it a different lead I need?

[SteveP]

^^^ It will be the same lead but will need a earth wire moving on the connection into the RNS or you will get a crackly noise on the iPod connection 

[darrens]

Thanks Steve.  Thats £100 saved then.  Its getting more tempting by the minute.

Off to find a reputable seller!

[VC]

so to get the ipod working with the rns510 you need another lead? and to get the blue tooth working you need a parrot?

Thanks Steve.  Thats £100 saved then.  Its getting more tempting by the minute.

So which one are you going for mate?
