Title: RNS 510 + 9N Polo
Post by: rdfcpete on April 29, 2011, 11:05:47 pm

Guys,

Does an RNS 510 fit into the dash of a 9N Polo?
Asking on behalf of a mate.

If it doesn't retrofit straight in like it does for the MK5 Golf, can you easily achieve it with blanking plates or a fascia workaround?

Thanks  :happy2:

No mate unfortunately not, the mk5 golfs have a slight angle to the head unit and the 9n polos don't  :fighting:

The 9N polo also doesn't use the same can bus system so the RNS510 wouldn't function at all for the nav side? although you may be able to use some kind of Can bus adapter??

I've seen those canbus adapters on eBay but considering what sounds like is involved, I think my mate will go for something aftermarket double DINN.
Ta!
