What alternative to RNS510 now that maps may be discontinued

[Julzbrah]

There's an alternative for people willing to dish out $250-500 on an aftermarket infotainment system. You can find android based aftermarket infotainment system which can incorporate all the requirements you mentioned plus many more.

I've installed one in my sisters car before and its pretty much an android tablet which gives you access to Google Search, Maps, Phone/Bluetooth, Wifi, Full range of android playstore apps and it also incorporates canbus, rear/front cameras, custom steering wheel option and many more.

I'll be installing - LJDA 8 Inch ANDROID 6.0 Car Radio DVD GPS Navigation For Volkswagen VW Passat B5 B6 Polo Golf 4 5 Touran Jetta T5 Tiguan 4G RAM-in Car Multimedia Player from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Some issues are the quality of sound output compared to other traditional double din systems but I'm trying to find out if there's a workaround with a budget quality amplifier.

Julzbrah have you fitted the LJDA 8inch yet? I just brought an 08 147tsi Jetta as a daily runabout and it has the rcd500, its already annoying that I don't have bluetooth for phone and music. Was the install pretty straight forward? Do I need a bluetooth module as well? Also is the bluetooth module fitted under the drivers seat?
