The simple fact is, the RNS-510 is AWESOME value compared to anything else on the market from ANY other manfacturer. I mean, check out the competitors - BMW, Audi, Merc, etc etc. They're all far more expensive and don't necessarily have more features.

Even check out companies like Pioneer. They have the AVIC-F900BT for $2k and AVIC-F10BT for $3k. Sure you could get them cheaper from Pioneer dealers, but by the time you have them installed, they're still going to be as expensive as the RNS-510.

So what it comes down to is:
If no other car manufacturer has a integrated entertainment/nav solution as 'low cost' as the RNS-510, and even 3rd party brand names like Pioneer don't have solutions as 'low cost' as the RNS-510, then WHY would something costing only $569 be as good as the RNS-510?
Couldn;t have said it better myself.
