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

What's the button next to the eject button for?

I think that is the karaoke button jkz

I received the sample unit and had a play with it tonight, unfortunately it is running an older test version of the firmware - there are quite a few new features but several are also missing. I'll hold back on that demo video until I get the latest update, but I can tell you the menu looks better and everything runs very fast, including the GPS.

Will our units come with the latest update installed or will have to do that?

I wish, but rivol is right, it mutes the GPS sound.

Looks good DkN, keen to get one in my hands

What about the connections on the back of the unit?

I spy the FAKRA radio ports, canbus harness and accessories pinouts but not sure what the others are :p

Does it play iTunes M4A files?

Considering it comes with an iPod input, I'd say yes.

I think that if the iPod/iPhone plays it, it will be played in the device.

If you could get a confirmation that it will play those files from SD card, that'd be great. Pioneer headunits have been doing it since about 2006. I'd need to be sure as the main reason I'd swap out the stock unit would be that I don't have to re-encode 90% of the music every time I want to put it in the car.

Does it have a configurable high pass filter for the speaker outputs and low pass filter for the subwoofer outputs? Cheers.

Hi DkN,

Keen to get involved, looking forward the video.

Post #88 was asking if the steering wheel controls will operate bluetooth for track selection etc. Are you able to confirm if this is the case?

Also, I have seen the post about the NAV earlier on but you have also mentioned that this new model will have a more OEM interface - Does this apply to the NAV also?

Cheers
