    Best deal on an RNS510

    Hi, I posted on the Golf 5 forum but got little response so thought I might post here. I refuse to believe that there aren't any RNS510 owners out there that can't offer me some advice.

    Looking to buy an RNS510 for my GT. Can anyone recommend the best place to get one? There's no shortage of them on ebay so I'd like to buy from someone or somewhere that's reputable and I know I won't have any issues. Seems to be a choice of either someone in Lithuania or someone in London

    At the moment this one seems a good buy

    VW RNS 510 SAT NAV RNS510 Version C LED GOLF PASSAT | eBay

    I like it cause it seems to have the new LED screen, the Australian maps and it has the video in motion too.

    Can someone let me know who the best person to buy from would be? Is there anything I should look for or ask prior to purchasing?

    I can only suggest that, don't buy when the seller says "no returns accepted". But, that's me.

    They all seem to offer a refund but I'm pretty sure it will cost me to send it back to them so either way I'll lose money - unless I find one that offers to freight it back free of charge. All of them seem to have a 100% positive feedback

    I bought that unit from the same guy in "UK" about a month ago. It seemed a bit dodgy because he tried to avoid ebay, and said the unit will come from Europe (because its faster postage system). I cant imagine Lithuania's postage system to be faster than the UK, but decided to take the risk anyways.

    He gave me his name and email, and that was also different from the ebay email address. He had a very eastern european name (Although one cant say where you from by your name anymore)

    Having said that, the unit did arrive within 5 days from Lithuania. Well packed, and working perfectly. I was very impressed.

    So I think he's from Lithuania, but uses his "UK" alias to sell the units to us. Maybe we "trust" british sellers more, I dont know.

    I can recommend him. Im very happy.

    Yeah sounds like its the same guy with multiple accounts really. No one has had any bad experiences?
