    I'm going to bid on this one, since I need the cheap unit for testing and experimenting with after I bought (thanks to Kamold) the software and hardware for modifying and changing various settings in these units. Could also help you, if you get in the trouble after unsuccessful sw upgrade and similar situations.

    I hope the unit goes cheap.

    I had the same idea, but it seems unlikely — last time I looked it was already over what I'd pay for a pig-in-a-poke.

    I might just be on the hunt for one of these units but it's not something I have ever really looked at so was wondering if someone can fill in the gaps for me.

    I notice lots of "c" units floating around at the moment? I thought "F" version was the latest? What's the difference?

    Is there anything I should know if I wanted to put one in a 2010 Multivan? Or a MkVI Golf?

    Is there anyone reputable in Sydney that sources and installs them?

    I didn't think they sourced them, but knew they installed them. eBay is nice and all, but when dropping a four figure sum I'm always more comfortable dealing in person if possible or if I have to deal online it's always nice to have a recommendation from someone who has dealt with that supplier before. (I have read about a few fakes and/or knock offs doing the rounds.)

    The version F has 40GB HD and faster processor.

    All the units I can see in Australia seem to be Ver C.

    Are the Ver F ones worth importing from the UK (assuming I can get the right maps)??

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

    Most here have bought their RNS510 from Lithuania ,I bought mine over a year ago for less than a $9,50 delivered Version C, with all the Australian and NZ maps installed , they give a 90 day warranty on all units .plus if you pay with Paypal your also covered .
    Ive heard of only a few complaints about any RNS 510 bought from either UK Irelandd or Lithuania.
