Skoda Columbus versus rns510 any differences ?
« on: July 17, 2015, 05:58:12 pm »
Hi guys,
Looks as though I have a buyer for my Kenwood unit and now looking for its replacement, I have been looking at the rns510 and come across the Columbus unit which they are sometimes referencing as a 510  in the search engines.
Is there, apart from the badge snobbery, any difference between these units, from my limited research they would seem to be the same spec ?
Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks   Steve

I don't think you can change the screen colour with the Columbus unit using vcds. Apart from that they should be the same.

The buttons on the Columbus light up green, not red.
