Quick question, will the HD DTV tuner also receive SD DTV as well.

HD tuners will support SD signals - not the other way around

DkN, couple of quick questions please:
1- my Skoda has an aux in in the armrest, which connects to the VW connector on stock radio. Will this also connect straight up on the DNS units or do I need to run a couple of wires into an aux in, like I do currently on my chinese one?
2 - I used to have the RCD510 (not RNS510) which did not have nav. You state that there is full MFD integration, currently I only get "Nav" on MFD when in that mode whereas I have seen the real RNS510 display compass headings and turns on the MFD. DO you know if the DNS units will do this and if so, will I require a Vagcom mod to do it?
Thanks

The DNS has its own aux-in port and you would need to connect the factory aux-in into this port.

There is also currently no navigation on MFD, this requires collaboration from the GPS software vendor, which Audiosources is working on atm.

Is the iPod connection in the back of the unit or front? As I'd like to run it into the centre console where the original MDI is because I have an iPod sit there.

Does the Bluetooth show up on MFD with phonebook etc?

Connections are at the back, this is intentional to avoid the clatter of USB / iPod cables sticking out of the face of the unit. You can of course route them, many use the glovebox but you may need extension cables to reach the centre console.

Bluetooth phone calls do show up on MFD but the phonebook doesn't at this stage. I'm told they are developing this as we speak.

Just paid deposit.

Just to clear this up, can I stream music from my iPhone via Bluetooth?

Yes, of course.

My mk5 Golf has it's radio antenna in the rear windscreen, will this antenna be used to pick up HDTV? (with the HD TV tuner)

Or is there a separate antenna needed?
