T5.2 OEM Radio Options - fitted post delivery

[Gybesports]

I don't know the technical term for it but the premium blutooth borrows the SIM form the phone, thats what it explains in the manual. IE there must be an integrated antenna in it!

[thevwbug]

does or can the rcd510 integrate with the MFD and MF wheel?

it sure will plug n play

it sure will plug n play

So what features can you use? As I have not had time to even sit in my van yet I don't know what to expect from what I have... Perhaps I'll wait until then for rest of my questions

[Foxpuppet]

After purchasing rns510 what other costs need to be accounted for? I can install the HU but is there extra wiring needed? How about the coding etc who do you see for that and at what cost?

[Transporter]

I beleive that Sharkie mentioned in the first few posts that it was plug and play. Some units need additional coding for the steering wheel controls to function but that's all. Additional info is in Audio section.

[Sharkie]

Cheers for that, yeah it was mainly the coding that I was inquiring about as I figured you need specialist knowledge like sharkies to do it. I have the mf wheel and mfd to account for so forewarned is forearmed I suppose.

Sent you a PM Foxpuppet .... but for all, RNS510 coding requirements seems to be a bit of a lucky dip .... My Tiguan did not need it, but the Multivan needed it. Any dealer can do it and most VW specialist mechs as well as the odd forum member. Pricing differs .... depending on who it is.

Also FYI, the 7FO models will have the outline of a Van in the OPC display, whereas the cheaper "car" models feature a Jetta. No difference to the performance of the unit. Worht saving almost half I think .....

PS: You buy the prefacelift 1 yet Transporter?

After seeing all that I should have spent the extra 19k to get a new T5.2 with all that functinality! Damn I am jealous!

Anyone got a 510 to work in a 09 Multi? I want Bluetooth for iphone calls and connectivity for the music on the phone.

[Sharkie]

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

RNS510 has SatNav and DVD player. Also have a 30GB Hard drive for storing music.

RNS510 (and RCD510) can be fitted as detailed in this thread to all Multivans and Transporters post June 2010. So will be fine for your MV.

T5GP and T5.2 refers to the facelifted T5 Transporters and Multivans (and Caravelles) post June 2010.

Thanks a lot for your help. So mine should be T5.2 as it is a 2012 model? And by the way what would be the difference between version B version C and all that?

I saw the ebay seller listed in this thread has the bluetooth kit for sale as well. Has anyone done installing the bluetooth kit as well along with the RNS510 or RCD510?

Thanks

I have also noticed that some of the RNS510 are in different shape to each other as pictured on ebay
