    If its factory fitted it will have a shark fin on the roof and make sure they give you the RNS 510 disc with the maps on it.

    Not factory fit. The dealer is putting it in - taking out the factory fit one. I want to make sure it has a 'new' dealer install and not an old off the shelf one...

    As far as i know the latest one is version C, what are they charging you for the RNS and fitting ?
    there are plenty of threads on the RNS buying O/S and fitting it your self is a much cheaper option
    But if its being fitted by the dealer it will have a GPS aerial under the dash above the unit .

    Thanks. How will I be able to check version numbers etc? Is there some menu option to check the HW and SW details?

    Not that i know of .make sure you get the manual and disc it should have year dated on the disc, and check the receipt for what model was fitted , what did they charge you for the exchange of your unit and fitting ??

    I have read that the manual and disc will come later in thebpost, not from the dealer at the time.

    I got it for 2.4k fitted. No reworked Lithuanian screens. No customer changed his mind in Ireland

    I have a Lithuanian RNS 510, how is it any different to the one you have, im pretty sure my screen shows the same data and i paid less than half what you paid, including install and i also got a MDI kit installed too.

    DiZzy - no doubt a trouble free one is a bargain. Top marks to you. I have read others where the supplier has supplied factory seconds. Coming from the electronics industry, I'd rather a new one than a rework. Preferences. I respect yours - glad it's a good one.

    I'm sure there are many here who have bought from Lithuania and are more than happy after all mine cost $950 delivered and only cost $80 to be coded to the car and i still have my original 6 stacker and MP3 player ,where as yours cost $2,400 and that included the loss of your original head unit, so we all know who's in front .
