Lithuanian RNS510 via Canada

If you check his site now, you will see the same article for sale, but now PayPal is available.

Yeh I noticed that as well.

I tried emailing paypal regarding his account status and surprise surprise, no reply

I decided to trust in his good name and the (slim) protection eBay gave me by having the sale go through them and the security of my credit card. I payed through his 3rd party site (bimmerretrofit). About 3 hours later he confirmed my payment had gone through. Following day he sent me a TNT tracking number and 4 business days later the unit has arrived at my door. Unit looks good, no scratches on the face, model numbers match up.

I'll be off to Camden GTI tomorrow to have the RNS510 plus 9WZ (bluetooth) unit installed. Hopefully everything goes smooth with the install.

Hi guys,

I bought an RNS510 several months ago (still haven't put it in as I haven't gotten around to getting it coded yet but did test it briefly) from an eBay seller in Lithuania as used_parts_specialists. The unit came with a card on it that required a code (and I had to input the code to get it to work with the car) but no manual.

Have I got a dodgy unit? The seller claimed it was a refurb - there are some very very light scratches on the glossy metal part of the front fascia but the display is immaculate. It has a sticker on the top of the unit that ends in a D with the production date etc.

I had no suspicions that this was going to be a bad deal but now I'm getting a little worried after reading this thread. The seller on eBay seems to be selling a lot of other car sat nab units such including the iDrive kits for the BMWs.

Don't worry. That's our trusty Lithuanian friend, Tadas!

Mate ... you get what you pay for!

Sounds like you've scored yourself a D unit.

They all are refurbished units on eBay (if around $1,000 or so).

Just an update

Unit installed at Camden GTI and is running without any faults for past few months. Maps appear up to date, integrated perfectly with bluetooth unit i installed at the same time.

Was a bit scared buying the unit over ebay and through dodgy 3rd party payment. Took a bit of a risk but appears all is well

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the install - That was for the RNS and Bluetooth, right?
