Looks like that is going to cost me around $1000 delivered, happy to do it if you think the LED version is worth the extra $200?

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Just be warned - my unit from Lithuania took over one month to arrive as OZ Customs wanted to inspect it. And I'm sure the f**kers dropped it as well

Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to ask it is carefully packed but if they open it and then drop it there isn't much you can do I guess, and zero accountability for customs either.

Thats strange mine arrived within 4 days , it only get inspected if its over $1,000 then your up for tax so make sure the buying cost is under the $1,000 threshold .

Just thought you should know ( i havnt installed yet ), however i just bought an RNS-510 Version D for $1100 delivered, arrived within a few days, and it looks to be good to go :O v4 australian maps and video in motion enabled. I am installing on an 08 mkv, so im not sure about this adapter business, but the seller was very helpful.

So which is the one to get? Version C LED or D?

The increased HDD space of version D is a non-event for me.

Well I've just purchased the Version C LED, so I don't want to hear anyone say the Version D is the one to go for

Theres a guy from the UK selling one as well. Did you get the UK one or the Lithuanian one?

You must have had yours couriered. Mine was by normal post. Value was around $800 so I guess I was just a victim of a 'random' inspection.
