Installing RNS510 in new Polo

[petho]

I didn't think it was possible to get the MFD working with the RNS510 in the Polo. I though the MFD in the polo was a cheaper version that didn't allow this? Does any one have this working? Hope I was wrong....

The Polo GTI actually has the full MFD.

My install went through fine over the weekend, only two issues to deal with now:

- MFD integration for the NAVsystem
- Change DVD region code for Australia.

As a side note, I've now noticed that while on my RCD-310 the radio used to display the song that was playing, the RNS-510 does not appear to have this functionality. It reads what the station name is, but doesn't alternate like the 310 did.

Either I'm doing something wrong or this is a bit of an oversight on VW's part lol!

For retrofitting the MDI, I found the cheapest solution was to buy the physical hardware from the UK ($105 shipped) and the cable from Germany ($75) shipped.

People selling the hardware and the kit together are charging $300. Snake oil I tell ya!!

I have done this too! Easy install. 2 hours work at most. Link here:
