Anyone tried this?
« on: October 27, 2013, 11:08:17 pm »
Can't stand the RCD310, it really is a heap of junk.

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=181208045305&cmd=VIDESC

Looking for something OEM that, with a few more features than "6CD" or "gala"

Let me know your thoughts! Suggestions are welcome, but it's gotta be OEM looking.

Looks OEM but the GUI is far from OEM.
For £370 you can buy an RNS510. Why would you pay more than £200 for that?  :confused:

This... I bet the touch screen is crap and the processor slow.

Saw an RCD510 go for £160 on ebay the other day... at that price, I don't know why I don't have one.

If the lack of DVD/Sat Nav isn't a problem for you, I say get an RCD510.
I got mine for £150 with a FAKRA adapter, and it's my favourite mod so far! :drinking:
It makes the sound quality much better, although I went from a RCD300, so can't say how it compares to your 310. :)

Don't waste your money mate. I bought something similar from ebay and it was a complete piece of junk. Had it two weeks and each day something new stopped working! Finally sent it back for a full refund and bought a Sony which I've been massively impressed by.

Review of my "bargain" here by the way...
