Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)

Hah I know! Just throwing ish out there to see what sticks.

Phone works great. I think Sandy was being modest on the sound quality. Fiance didn't even notice.

For aux, they did not include a cable to connect to the connection in the back of the unit ( maybe if I had one stock, but I don't ). Odd that they did include an old iPod cable though.

Sweet installing today

- Those of you with a MkV, you will need an adapter for the FAKRA connection to work. It only fits the dual-connection in the Mk6s, not the 2 single connections of the MkV. Not an expensive purchase, but an annoyance that I have to order something else and wait for it to come in and take my dash apart again.

I have an 2009 Jetta MKV - What Part do we need xxcynicxx - can you link one?

http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=271276610401 is the one I bought. Pop your radio out and if your FAKRA connection is 2 separate plugs, you will need the adapter.

Has anyone else got their unit yet? My unit I think is missing a cable or two, as in the ANS series there is a USB cable for thumb drives, my unit only came with 3 cables, 1 being the preamps, 1 backup camera and 1 IPOD, Where is the support for USB Thumbdrives? The radio lists it on the plug support but no cable? Little annoyed here as I use a thumb drive for all my music Even the book says SDCard/USB so one would think a USB cable would of been included? Anyone else get this cable? Also the input cable? Like what gives here? So far not impressed that I cant hook up 2 things that the ANS could do. This thing may go back. AS these are a must

Read mine above kwalsh. Same thing for me. USB and aux cables are missing.

Haha yeah I just seen that as I posted that up, my frustration levels with this unit just have peaked, first its delayed many months, now it just doesnt meet up to standards vs the ANS.... So far I wont be installing it, as I require these two items for my Satellite radio & my USB thumb drive. Without those right now its like having a next to stock radio, so I may as well leave my current radio in till this gets solved, or I return the unit and get a radio that can do this. Nearly 800 dollars on a radio and it cant do the basics that any 200-300 dollar radio can do.

It doesn't look like we're off to a good start. Hopefully Sandy can clear this up asap.

I got mine installed and where can I start with the problems?
first the sd card will only read when you pull it out then put it back in.then it wont read my mp3's it may read the odd one then you cannot select the next song if you choose the song on the dns screen nothing happens.. just crashes..then if you select fm radio no sound comes from the radio..you have to turn off your car for 3 seconds then start up your car then you will get the radio to work...
next the rear camera does not work...if the car is started and I put it in reverse it will switch over to camera mode but the screen goes all scrambled...but if I just have the car in accessory mode(just turn the key once no engine running) it will show the camera working..
next the bluetooth I cannot get it to sinc with my car..i try to sink it with the steering wheel and it says syncing then finds my phone and says synced vw...I think it is syncing my phone to the car but not the dns810..
very frusterating I want to send it back and exchange it for the ans810 I least that works...I think..
sandy how can I send it back?
