RNS510 fitting/bluetooth/firmware. PLEASE HELP!

[bbfb10]

Bit of help/advice please. I have agreed to buy an RNS510 from Beezer Diesel (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,74835.0.html) What do l need to buy/do to get this working in my bog standard 04 plate GTTDI 140? Ive read about CANBUS(?) and firmware upgrades to prevent battery drain, I would also like to get a Bluetooth module fitted but am unsure of which part number I need to get my iPhone 5 working with this headunit. In the future Im looking to purchase an armrest, do I need an MDI?

As you can tell, Im very confused and a total noob, so any answers will need to be in plain English. As if youre talking to a particularly stupid 5 year old.

Thanks in advance,

Ben.

Get in touch with Eddie-NL

He'll give you the best free advice you'll get and need,he may well be able to offer you the parts you need either new or used.

Ive tried, PM'd him days ago and no reply. Hoping others might be able to offer some advice.

Worth trying again as it will be the most cost effective way - after that you'll have to watch the for sale section

Anyone?

If the firmware has been modified then you don't need a gateway. The only way to find out is to fit it and see.

If you want to be safe then change the gateway

7P6 or 5K0 work nicely with the RNS

I have kits or if you want to find the module I have looms and mics
