RNS-510 - Just Arrived
« on: November 24, 2009, 03:24:42 pm »
Guys,

Very happy as my RNS-510 has just arrived  :happy2:  :laugh:

Is there a retrofit guide anywhere please?
I currently have the standard GTI CD player (RCD-xxx something?) and couldn't find how to remove this, frontal clips or holes etc...

I don't want to damage either unit and will need a guide for the extra GPS connections etc.  :smiley:

Thanks,
Pete.

Don't forget it will be worthwhile getting it coded into the car as well using VCDS  :happy2:

....hang on a moment....coding....? thats the part my audio guy wont be able to do. ive got one for the eos which i thought would just be a swap, and for mine which i thought would be a swap plus making a line out for the amp etc

i think i need to be paying more attention...i'm clearly way off the mark then?

^^^ It's nothing to be concerned about VC it will most probably be fine.

The problem can be if the unit is second hand and coded for a car with say Dynaudio or the VW soundpack then the speaker outputs won't be at the right level and it will sound pants.

If you are every on a trip to Northampton or London then just drop me a line and I will sort it for you  :happy2:

I ended up using the guide here. Took me 45 minutes, and that included tracing and removing all the cables for the old Nokia car kit and the iPod adapter. A few trim tools, a Torx T20 and a bit of patience and preparation was all it took. Just be careful as you remove the trim round the head unit - the clips on the back look quite fragile.
Luckily for me, no coding needed for the basics (as I took an MFD2 out) and luckily as well the audio is fine - in fact it's a lot better than the MFD2.
Bound to be a bit of coding this weekend though - not got the track displaying in the dash yet, and there's the small matter of the RSAP Bluetooth kit and MFSW buttons sitting on the table......  :wink:

Thanks for the link to the guide Mark, looks more intuitive than the one I found.

I understand the RNS-510 supports USB, how does this work?  There seems to be no USB connection anywhere, do I have to purchase an extra connection lead or port?

You would need the MDI interface. I believe it goes in place of your CD changer but have been known to be wrong in the past.  :wink:

CD changer - in the centre console front arm rest area?
I guess this is yet more complicated wiring?  :sad1:

Cheers,
Pete.

No in the back of the unit you can place the interface where you like.
