Sat Nav for Passat

[passatpout]

I installed the RNS510 into my GTI.
Easy to do.. dead easy...

Just for full functrionality and MFD integration, become chummy with someone with a VAG-COM cable. OR, you can buy the unit and teh cable for around $1000 all up, and then end up selling your OEM unit.

The RNS is by far better than the portables, and the only downside is that there is no speed and red light camera triggers, BUT, the benefits far outweigh this downside. Full integration, dead spot reckoning, and inbuilt.

Also is a better system than that in otehr cars I have used, such as Subaru and Captiva...

Where'd you get your RNS510 from, and if from ebay/overseas, how'd you go with getting the maps for yours sorted out? I agree, it rats over the portables.. now that I'm thinking I'll be keeping my car for another 3-5 years, I may as well get it sorted out the way I want it, and that includes the bluetooth, OPS, and the nav..

Also, PMSL with your sig...

Can anyone suggest someone reputable in Sydney that can supply and fit an RNS 510?

Excuse my ignorance: what is a VAG-COM cable and why is it important?

Many thanks

Mate city performance in artarmon can do it however it's really really easy you should be able to do it your self with the online diy

The better sellers on eBay generally come with Aussie maps preinstalled
