Installing RNS510 in new Polo

**recoil84** · 11-03-2011, 09:43 AM

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone had had any successes installing the RNS510 unit in their new polo.

I'm looking to do this over the weekend, and the overall process for the headunit seems simple enough, but I'm wondering where to install the GPS receiver so that it gets enough satellite signal.

Cheers,
Bob.

Hi there are plenty of threads on installing the RNS510, just do a search i'm sure some one has installed one in a Polo.

Hi, I did this just last weekend. Very simple. There is a little pocket above where the unit goes. I squeezed the GPS in there. Works great.

I am going to try and install 9W7 bluetooth unit next weekend. Not sure how I will go for space with this however.

Hey guys,

Where did you source your RNS 510. If you would like to share details it would be appreciated. Would you recommend where you purchased from?

Thanks Eric

hey,

I sourced mine through Ebay, the Lithuanian guy (used_parts_specialists). Only issue is one of the mounting brackets is slightly bent, however this will be easy to straighten up.

Quick delivery, unit seems intact, haven't powered it yet. I got the 'C' model with the LED screen.

Thanks for the info petho, appreciate it

Cheers,
Bob.

If you remove the HVAC unit, you should be able to jam everything in behind there.

It's a piece of piss.
Did it today. Have some pics, so will make a separate thread

Without vagcom programming the only thing that doesn't work is the display in the mfd.
Now I need to source a cheap mdi and bluetooth and then find someone in Melbourne who'll help me out with programming
