ANS-810 / ANS-510 (PROPER RNS-510 alternative)

Hello Sandy, while waiting for the new units i have started to think that the ANS810 buttons being on top is not OEM style so am thinking more about the 510-610 units now. i assume all have the same HW and SW and the only difference is screen size, right?

Thanks :)

it used to be that it would have a signal as soon as the car was started, i've not changed anything and still park in the same places that i did when the signal was instant.

any ideas?

Where did you attach the GPS antenna?

Have you checked to see if the antenna connector has not come loose?

I was quite happy with the look of the ANS810 until you said that. Now I'm in two minds.

All the units within the same series have identical hardware across the different models.

The knobs need to be on top for the 8 inch model because it's more narrow at the bottom. It still looks perfectly stock when installed, but those more familiar with VW would obviously be able to tell that's not an OEM model. There are a few pictures of the 810 installed in dash from this thread if you scan through the first 10 pages or so.

Perform a full firmware flash and then so another GPS reset, if that does not work then something is wrong with either the antenna cable or the hardware.

AN810 looks better :rolleyes:

As the screen resolution is identical (800 x 640) for both models, would that mean the smaller screen will actually look nicer? Same number of lines over a smaller area being my logic but please correct me if I'm wrong.

you can calculate the PPI:

and yes it should look better.
