No - I have iGO8 - working well - though I don't use it that much. Small town. Amazing detail though.
Just an update for those that might still be following this thread. I still have not had a single problem with my HU since disconnection the ACC line.
In fact I'm enjoying the HU so much I am now ordering a Headrest Monitor with built-in wireless gaming console for the kid from cardct.com $105US with two wireless controllers. Should help to keep him quite for longer travel.. Hmmm maybe I should get one for the wife as well?

I've used the RNS-510 in my friends '08 R32 and was extremely impressed by the features and ease of use. I've been considering a Kenwood DNX9140 to replace my stock navi.
To any of you that are using this Maisun unit: Does this compare to other aftermarket systems you've used? And for that matter, how does this compare to the OEM 510? Thanks!

hI.
I'm a 1st time user of the Maisun unit with iGO8 GPS software and rear view camera installed...Having sorted initial teething problems, it has not missed a beat and I do enjoy the unit.It could be a little more user friendly when navigating your way through the sources/functions e.g: the long pause while waiting for it to read the DVD upon returning from e.g. the Bluetooth page etc.I'm used to the Garmin Nav units and what is a bonus on this GPS is how it "guides" your spelling of address input (that makes the typing bit faster) by highlighting only those letters common to the options...The GPS menus can be a bit tricky having to find your way around it.If only there was a way the bluetooth could connect my cellphone upon recognition instead of having to connect everytime you switch on the ignition/unit.The radio does not seem to store/program radio stations (for quicker reference) - Not too keen on the 'choose-from-the-list' approach.All in All I'm satisfied with the value you get for your money (maby even a tad bit more) and hope that at the very least it will remain reliable...

Do you have the OEM back up camera installed, or an aftermarket unit?
It doesn't compare to aftermarket (ie: kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine), nor does it compare to the RNS 510 (except it looks the same). By comparison the interface is sloppy, it is unreliable, audio quality is poor, ease of use is poor, support is non-existent, you have to spend a few days learning how to hack a copy of navigation software to make it work, and the bluetooth sounds like you're in a wind tunnel, My Kenwood backup cam never worked with it.t
To top it off The unit on my Jetta failed completely after 3 month of use, and I sold off the two units I bought for my Touaregs...
Any requests for support from Maisun usually end up with an email which pretty much tells you that you're an idiot, and things are going wrong because a) you're dumb or b) its not their fault.
Its an OK play around unit for $400 bucks, but if you're looking for aftermarket or OEM RNS 510 performance you aren't going to find it here.

What Works or Not Work on 04 CD Nav with amp
I have an 04 with the top of the line CD Nav with amp. The kind where the power is turned on via bus rather than line inputs. Will the Maisun replica, this one,:
http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f47/rns-510-aftermarket-replica-maisun-39854.html
fit? I know the dash display and steering wheel controls will not work for sure (i don't care about those functions) but is this plug and play with the amplifier or will I have the bypasss amp and find crossovers? I have looked through all 60 or so pages of this posting and cannot find a definitive answer.

Carl, NickM tried one in his 04, and it didn't seem to work with the amp.
I am Tomi @ CarDCT, I need your guys help. One U.S. customer bought our VW6209 last week and found it not support his vehicle which with original AMP.
Instead ask him to return, I would like to resell it on the forum since it is new.
I want $410 for all, no shipping cost, no import duties, send direct from America.
Send me MSG if you are interested. Thanks a lot.

As Teatherwind mentioned it won't work. I tried it on my '04...no sound at all. You need to rewire and put in a DVD nav amp ("V10" did the amp swap a few years ago) or rerun all wiring and run an aftermarket amp.
I decided it wasn't worth it

I did not try it. But It looks like you need to ground the Antenna Amplifier R24 or R11's or both. I did not want to screw with it so I lived with the so so reception. The amplifiers look to be installed in the rear head liner.Does anyone know how can I improve radio signal on my Maisun head unit? It is really poor.
Looks like this controlling of the applifier power is done normally via antenna section module J515. I believe the Canbus controls the antenna section module and powering of either AM FM or TV antennas.
Therefore you really need to get the canbus of the Maisun unit to work properly. If it worked properly then everthing such as the steering wheel controls, display and antennas would work. I considered the easiest antenna fix and thought to install my own new powered antenna. You can buy them on Ebay.
One day when I have way to much time on my hands I will try and get the canbus signals out of the Masuin. But who has time for such.
Then after all that can of worms is done with I would need to be able VAGCOM all appropriate controllers to understand the Maisun unit. Then I just said to myself F-it. And that took me back to the easy route: "install your own new powered antenna". Easiest fix for better reception.
The RNS 510 certainly does since I have it on my 2010.

When I got my Maisun unit from the eBay seller, it was disclosed o that a twin fakra lead would offer clear reception, so I got the lead and connected. Works perfect.
