Chat about RNS510 installation into T5.2

[thevwbug]

yeah bug i amin 2 minds about this... i use a garmin GPS which is VERY good at navigation, but i want the touchscreen etc maybe hook up the reverse camera if i find i have trouble with parking the van and work on site etc. what are your thoughts on the rcd510? very cheap option and save the hassle of the nav updates etc (i have lifetime updates with garmin)

Foxpuppet,

Bought another RCD510 to put into the MV the new one its the one that allow me to put a reverse camera on to it.

will cost around $200 to add reverse camera

i dont need navigation in my MV as its not my everyday drive
the rcd510 does everything i need

the bug

[jona1986129]

i am interested in doing this to my 2011 MY12 Multivan. I want to have sat nav and possibly DVD player. Should I be looking at RNS 510?

Since u guys mentioned something about T5GP and T5.2 etc model number, what does that mean? And what category would my car fall into?

Cheers

Hello,

We have just bought a 2010 Caravelle. It came with a standard RCD210, and I would like to replace it with something better, hopefully a RNS510.

I am new to this, a a little confused with some of the terms used here. My van does not have a multi-function steering wheel (unless you count left and right AND beep-beep!). While the display is white it does not have any menus that I have found besides trip computer functions. The vehicle has a DSG transmission. Is my vehicle a T5.2?

As mentioned I would like to replace the RCDS210 with a RNS510. I would also like to retro-fit bluetooth, and perhaps a reverse camera. The question is, is this possible? Other posts here seem to indicate that the RNS510 can be fitted to post June T5s, but mine is earlier (Compliance date is March 2010).

What are my options here?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good installer for a RCD510 and bluetooth 9W7 module (bought from bluewagen on ebay) for a brand new Multivan (just came with a RCD310)....not to confident in doing it myself...

I am still looking to buy the RCD510 any recommendations of ebay sellers?


cheers

Marty at FHRX. Their work is unbelievable. It is worth the drive.

I'm juggling work commitments trying to arrange to finally drop my van there for a "serious" upgrade

I am taking delivery of a new van today that has the rns 310 radio which I want to upgrade to bluetooth and sat nav and maybe a camera depending on how good or bad the parking assist is.

The van already has the multifunction steering wheel with the phone buttons and media input, so my understanding is I need the RNS510 for about $900-1400 and the bluetooth kit which is about $500.

Do I need anything else and is the Lithuanian on ebay as safe as anyone else?

A lot of members here got their RNS510 from the Lithuanian friend,
I bought 8sensor parking system from this bloke VW Bluetooth KIT unit 3C8035730B, 5N0035730D VW,Skoda,Seat | eBay you will save a lot on your BT

How easy was the 8sensor system to install? Did you do it yourself or did an installer do it instead? If so, if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to install?

I still didn't get to it. I bought it for Octavia vRS.

Arrived today, fitted in about 10 minutes. Quick drive around (tip: if the maps dont appear, set the date?) and it looks very nice.

Easiest install I have ever done. Bluetooth and VCDS on their way, should be all done by the end of next week.
