Cheap RNS510

[The_Hawk]

The couple I am looking at are from the UK all in the $1250 - $1600 range with 12 - 24 months warranty of some sort. Got some questions to the sellers now about Aussie maps (since they list Europe ones at the moment). From what I understand in the worst case I can just buy the Aussie maps locally if push comes to shove.

Am I right in saying that the Bluetooth module and MDI are independent of the RNS510 so stay in use after replacing the radio?

Correct, bluetooth and MDI are seperate units that plug into the RNS510. You dont have to replace or upgrade those.

The auction is ending in 35minutes and I will not bid on it ($340 + ).

I'm currently looking at this one after this guy being the only one who bothered to answer my question about Australian Maps.

Any opinions?

Get it, I would.

Any opinions?

Yes factor in the nuisance of securing an Australian map!

At the moment having a F unit but running our crappy Australian maps, is akin to buying a computer with the latest Intel chip but running Windows XP.

A bit of a waste!

I did ask before if the seller could provide Australian maps and he said he could.... I suppose I will find out for sure when it gets here Ordered last night and it's already marked as shipped (although coming from the UK, the time zones work well for afternoon/evening orders from Australia).

...and now we play the waiting game...

So anyone from here win the faulty unit?

When you do the coding don't forget to change the DVD to region 4 (will likely be set to 2 (UK), even if it comes with Aus maps.
