Anyone tried the pioneer 9210 or one of these http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=290665258719&index=5&nav=WATCHING&nid=62466533977 ?

Save your money IMHO. Seen a couple of similar and they weren't great.
-
RNS510 is a quality piece of kit and I can't fault it.
mines got Video In Motion Enabled and it defo keeps the kids occupied. :happy2:
-
It did seem but too cheap to be true..
Might give pioneer another look http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-avic-f9210bt_p-26434.htm or just look out for a RNS510 as I haven't seen any other aftermarket alternatives jump out at me.

It's deffo not a VW piece of kit, I'm currently running an alpine w202r and it's ace wouldn't go with a VW unit personally not powerful enough for my taste :happy2: !! But caraudiosecurity are doing a brand new W205r for 299!!! Bargain check it out :)
-
The W205R does look an impressive unit, it's missing the nav element which would put me off.

I have my eye on a couple on EBay so will see how those pan out. I had Audi nav in my S4 & do prefer an in built unit over a TomTom etc or using my iPhone as I am at the moment.

had a alpine ine s900r fitted 2 weeks ago,comes with sat nav and blue tooth built in

What are your thoughts so far ?

I have the Zenec NC2010, which ticks most boxes, but admittedly it seems to get more expensive the longer it's been out.
-
It did seem but too cheap to be true..
Might give pioneer another look http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-avic-f9210bt_p-26434.htm or just look out for a RNS510 as I haven't seen any other aftermarket alternatives jump out at me.
I paid £100 less for an RNS510 version F including shipping from Lithuania. Its faultless really. Ive had 3x now, and cant recommend them enough.

its excellent piece of kit--the sound is better than my alpine 300rb

I havent found any at £300, let alone £200 so I guess I need to keep looking..

Deako meant he got his for £600. You are not going to find a new RNS for under £500 and een used ones go for £200-400.

I have found a rns510, its version C. Am I likely to suffer the battery drain issues, its going into an 06 GTI?
-
Probably. You need to know your canbus version.
-
Ive started thinking of upgrading to something like the Vw Nav / hdd unit but the Golf R Nav took a bizzarre route compared to the Tom Tom the other night? :confused:
-
Probably. You need to know your canbus version.
Can I check this physically or do I need to find someone with VCDS?
-
Vcds
-
Is there a rule of thumb, e.g you need canbus version x with RNS510 version C etc?
My local garage have kit to read error codes so I will give them a call tomorrow to see if they can find out what version I have.
