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

[DkN]

Picking up a 2011 Multivan next week.
Interested in upgrading to an 810 unit.

If I buy from you in QLD, do you have a recommended installer in Melbourne ?

Cheers

This thread is a good starting point to find willing forum members to help out:

Otherwise any professional audio installer can help you out, although VW specialists are preferred. Once you explain to them it's plug and play, even your dealer could help you out, but they are likely to charge a lot more. The only thing that you have to think about is the iPod / USB cable which needs to be wired from the back of the unit to a location you like, for example glove box. Installers should be able to do this no problem because they would have to similarly wire through to the glove box for VW factory MDI systems.

DOH!! I forgot that the software was on the sdcard.

For a minute I thought you wanted to mess around with the core software on the actual head unit, lol.

Hi guys,

I'm sure but this may been answered before. My current MDI (USB) connection is in the centre console. With the ANS 810 will I need to reloacte these in the glove box?

The MDI becomes redundant. The ANS-810 has its own USB and Icrap cables that you can connect things to and the easiest place to have these is in the glovebox.

Yup although if you are willing to spend some effort looking I'm sure you can find a way to get the cables through to other places, including the center console if you already have an MDI there.

Has anyone tried a Lightning adapter with an iPhone 5 with this headunit? I might be getting a new phone sometime soon.

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with playing back music from a phone over bluetooth into the ANS810?
I seem to get some fairly obvious HF distortion when playing back from my iPhone4.
I've tried lowering the volume on the phone itself and it seems to make no difference, so it's not a usual input gain issue.
I've tired it on 2 different ANS units and it seems to be the same.

I don't have another phone to try at the moment but would be interested to know if anyone has the same issue.

I notice that you can track skip using the on screen buttons, but not the steering wheel controls.
I also notice that there is no feedback on screen, which I know is possible from other systems I've used.
If there was playback info on screen and on the MFD then using the phone itself to navigate/browse would be an easy compromise.

I've tried a few phones including an old Nokia, a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a Galaxy S3 and they all seemed fine. It could be iPhone related, unfortunately quality of BT can sometimes be heavily reliant on drivers supplied by the manufacturers and the extent to which they stick to standards...

Regarding information on screen, this is available only with AVRCP 1.3+. Both the unit and the phone must support it for this to work. The ANS series unit only has A2DP at the moment so it will not be able to read song info through BT. I've been in touch with them about this and found them a new supplier that supports Bluetooth 3.0 and AVRCP 1.4, but obviously this is not something that can be mitigated by software.

Hi,

Anyone could recommend any installer that I can go, to install the RVC. I tried pulled out the trims, and found that I need to remove the bumper etc. I have all the wires and relay soldered. Just need to install the number plate camera and hook up the relay to the rear wiper.

Thanks
