RNS repairs.
« on: February 09, 2014, 04:59:38 pm »
Anyone know any good repair shops for an RNS unit please? Personal recommendations, places you've used or heard good reports about etc.

Cheers.

I've used Eddie-NL to repair couple of units for me at very competitive price!

This is the person I used in daventry
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Skoda-Rns-510-sat-nav-repair-service-in-Daventry-/121264512232?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1c3bed9ce8

I've spoken to this guy at length. He's a real genuine good egg, but unfortunately he can't repair my unit as it's a DAB RNS.

Having looked everywhere on the web for a repair solution, the only place where I can get it done for less than £400 is Poland.

I know these offer some support for repairing the RNS510

Worth a try since it's DAB  unit!

What part isn't working as there's a few how to's on the none DAB versions!

It's not the GPS antenna. It's the RNS510. I have two others sat here which both work fine on my factory fit GPS antenna, and the one I just bought doesn't.
