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

[moda]

I like where you are going with that question. Not sure I want to splice the OEM connector to work with new, but it would def feel more like a stock head unit. If you do get it working, please post your wiring pin out.

The units are fully plug and play. No need to touch/splice/cut/adapt anything (except if you have a mk5, which needs a dual to single fakra adapter for radio). So oem plugs straight into USB/radio/gps/speakers/aux in.

On the mk6, there is an option for a center console USB... It currently doesn't work with new head unit. Would be cool if that worked. That is the USB I was speaking of.

Should be a separate cable, plugged into the yellow jack, afaik (its not part of the wiring harness loom afaik)

Yes unfortunately the USB cable is still separate and will have to connect to that yellow connector.

The small batch of production model DNS units should be shipping out on Thursday.

There has been a fix released by the CPU factory too though the results are still untested - I am receiving the update tomorrow to test for myself.

Sandy, still looking forward to the unit when all the issues are ironed out.
Would there be, with any luck those who have iPhones, have the ability to have the new Apple Carplay software installed?
I know its a long shot, but wouldn't that be fantastic???

Sent a PM about joining the Group Buy. I assume the radio will work in the US (though have to add US maps). Any estimate on when the group buy will close and units be shipped?

Thanks.

Have you tested it?

Unfortunately I don't think that would be possible - they already have their own mirror link module developed (even if it is just one-way control at the moment).

Have you tested it?

I did, and it seemed to fix the stutter issue but not the slow change of songs issue. It also introduced a couple of navigation audio bugs - as I said it was experimental firmware so they've still got to improve it.

On another note, I have been doing testing with Sygic and the stutter and slow song change issues do not exist with it. The only problem is I'm not able to get the latest Sygic (12 or 13) without paying outrageous prices to get the maps (think ~$100 per map licence on WinCE at wholesale level when Sygic 13 Australian maps cost under $40 to buy on iPhone / Play Store... go figure). While we can skirt around the whole issue of navigation / SD conflict by using Sygic, if I made the switch it would only be Sygic Drive 10, which in my mind is equivalent to using iGo 8 when you know iGo Primo 2.0 is available...

I'm still debating the options but hopefully the navigation / SD issue will be fixed by AS soon enough that I won't have to consider using Sygic Drive.

I have received the small batch units today. I will sort through them and get them shipped out Saturday morning.
