How to check latest RNS 510 whilst in the dealers showroom

[Transporter]

Oh, common guys! What's the point of this?

It's just the radio, it doesn't matter who fitted it and where it comes from, the main thing is that it performs flawlessly.

Here you will find how to check the s/w version. www.my-gti.com

so we all know who's in front .

Didn't know it was a race Ian - thought it was about freedom of choice and expression. More than happy is good. I commend you and happiness levels. When i get mine I too hope to be as happy as you.

Back to the subject ... Is there an easy way to tell what version people have ? Lithuanian, Irish, Australian or otherwise

The only way i know is to pull the unit half way out and there's the sticker on the top giving serial number and the version of the unit, if its a new unit ask the dealer for the box the unit came in ,as i'm sure it should have all reverent information on the label .
Also make sure you are given the user manual .

Thanks mate ... Sounds like a job for home, but i assume the dealer should give me the install kit / extractor tool ?

All you need is a credit card and a 25 torx tool.

Along with a full set of tools and a hoist for your engine which is standard for all dealers to give away these days

No, you won't be getting an "extraction" kit... as Ian said, a credit card and a T25 Torx screwdriver is what you'll need. Personally, I wouldn't use a credit card, there's a good chance you'll snap it, but a trim removal kit from fleabay will do you fine. The T25 can be had from any Bunnings for about $8 or you can take your chances with a cheapo from the $2 shop. Plenty of guides on here available on how to remove the RNS.

Apparently there is a D Model that you can also pick up. Manufactured late 2010?

VW MFD3 RNS 510 passat tiguan golf LED star D RNS510 on eBay (end time 14-Mar-11 11:48:46 GMT)

From the description, you can distingush whether it's a D model or not by the startup/boot screen. I've yet to navigate mine to find the exact model without having to pull it out.
