Bought a MFD3 RNS 510 navigation 04V8 - Page 4

**spockcat** · 04-15-2008

So this is supposed to have an internal hard drive. Can you load music up to that drive?

V8VDUB · 04-15-2008

Sure can> I have only transfered mp3 files with my SD card but it was very cool making new folders on the hard drive. I think if you have a cd with mp3 files on it you can transfere them aswell....

Good luck!

the only problem is vw dont offer the rear diff lock as an option anymore!! is it the same over there?

Linder · 04-17-2008

I just looked at a 2008 V8 petrol, and I believe it still had the rear diff lock, thats a definite bummer you can't get it anymore!

I just played with this nav unit in Seattle - installed in an R32 - totally SWEET! bluetooth, via screen or phone or steering wheel "phone" button.

dvd plays while driving - screen quality surprised me - very sharp with movie playing.

supposedly cars like passat will have little reverse camera option - "VW" emblem will "pop" open with hidden camera when gear selector put into reverse - neat!

internal HD of about 30gb I think he said, SD card input on front as well as dvd/cd. You upload the maps via dvd and then can remove it.

it's slick and has way more info than the old one - info is currently from bmw apparently - he said.

touch screen allows "screen - in - screen" and lots of other cool features.

jwestpro, was the R32 on public display somewhere? I'm also in Seattle, and I'd happily kip off to Cartoys or wherever if there's a chance I can try an RNS510. Do you know if they installed it themselves?

I've been attempting to read through various threads on the unit, but I'm still a little mystified at what parts I'd need for my 2006 Touareg beyond the nav unit itself - I presume my existing GPS antenna would work, but I'm guessing there's a necessary canbus adapter, a sat radio antenna, a VW bluetooth unit and probably a few other parts.

I will clear with my source first as he is not a "shop" doing it as a business.

He digs all things VW though so he may be glad to at least show you and point in the right direction for parts.
