Multi function stereo
« on: January 22, 2012, 11:19:11 am »
I am lookong to replace rcd300 for a high spec unit.

I already have 6 cd fitted & factory speaker upgrade.

I am looking for a head unit which integrates, sat nav & bluetooth which are the main functions I will be using.

ANyone have anything other than rns 510?
Even if aftermarket head unit fitted, does gateway still need upgrading?

Anyone have any experience with this?

I've had a Zenec MC2000 for three years, been a very good HU with bluetooth, SD, USB, Aux, loads of inputs and optional NAV. It has full CAN & MFSW integration and no need to update the gateway. I can change tracks through my iphone from the MFSW, although the lead doesn't charge. I even have a reversing camera, small sub and amp through it.

If you're not going OEM then this is a better alternative to the cheap looking interface types, such as the one you linked.

I'm actually awaiting a Zenec NC2010 (the newer model) which has built in NAV (doubt I'll use it anyway, can't beat an updated TomTom), shows track/call info on highline and allows me to charge an iphone whilst playing from it.

These two are designed for the mk5 platform, however there's loads of options out there so have fun.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Hey, not sure I originally got the MC2000 from an audio seller on eBay, and the new one is a private sale from Germany.

They're actually more expensive now than two years ago, and new prices may be offputting at the minute.

Most of the big online audio places have them, and I think Halfords once had them too.
