RNS 510 colour schemes

[MrGTIandRfan]

If I replace the RCD 510 in my GTI with an RNS 510 will it automatically display using the Sportline (red) theme or do I need to do some coding via VCDS?

It'll be the colour of whatever it was set to in the factory, so it depends on which car it was taken out of. Changing it via VCDS does only take a few moment though, so perhaps Transporter can help you out with that.

You'll need VCDS when installing it regardless, changing the theme will only take 10 more seconds (plus the time needed to reboot the RNS to see the changes).

if you have the VCDS i can share kind of tutorial with you!

Start the VCDS, Go to Installed and Navigation Select “Coding – 07″ to start the coding process.Click on “Long Coding Helper” to start the “Long Coding Helper” Go to Byte 7 and select via the dropdown box the variant that you want to use.
After you have made your selection click on “Exit”

The new long coding will be visible in the yellow box (not in this example) and press the “Do It!” button to save the changes.

Exit Vagcom/VCDS and reboot the RNS 510 by pressing the < and > buttons on the left side of the DVD slot and whilst holding them press the far right info button next to the dvd slot. The new colour scheme will not display until the unit is rebooted.

any questions feel free to ask!
