I spoke to VW this morning about this unit in regards to having it with a new order van and absolutely no-one even knew of it's existance let alone if it could be installed. Is it that new that it's not filtered down to the specs of current vehicles?
+D. Tudor Hey! It was a Genuine VW Premium BT module. Wouldn't be able to tell you the Part Number as it was so long ago. Would have been the latest one at the time though :)
Simply put it's the reason I've put of buying a VW for the last few years. The RNS510 was fantastic and ticked nearly all the boxes but I could never understand why it didn't have DAB and you were not allowed DAB with the RNS510. I've a simple requirement DAB, SatNav and Bluetooth (with A2DP). After a phonecall to VW commercial, they deny it's existance and the party line is you can't get a Caddy with the RNS510 and dab. Lets try a dealer next :)
Hello. I have the RNS 510 but it doesn't have DAB. Is there a differentiation between units? I see from looking through some forums that there is a RNS 510 'PSA' model. Is that the model in this review?
Hi i just bought a 2011 scirocco is this the same as mine does it have a sub port and i do not see a Volkswagen start up screen is there something faulty?
+Valentino Barillà You can't just install Firmware. You need to have a whole new unit with the correct hardwire inside. You can purchase the RNS 510 Nav / DAB here - www.advanced-incar.co.uk/volkswagen-retrofits/volkswagen-rns-510-dab-navigation
Hi, emailed your firm, last week, for a quote on fitting an rns 510 dab,with bluetooth, and reversing camera to a t5.1. But had no reply. Let me know if you can give me a quote pls. Thanks
Aux inputs are usually right next to your handbrake or in an armrest. If you can't find one then you probably don't have one. In regards to the Bluetooth, if you search via your mobile within the first 30secs then you'll see it.
Can anyone advise me how you can check if the software is upto date on the RNS 510. I have just bought a 2nd VW golf and want to update the software if possible. Thanks .
Friede sei mit dir. Ein Freund aus Algerien möchte dieses Radio kennenlernen. Macht kein Video? Habe ich ein GPS-Ortungssystem? Bitte raten Sie mir, aber ich finde niemanden in meinem Land, der das für mich repariert.
I'm not too sure due to the age of the video, possibly 5238. The latest FW at the moment is 6239 (Or something around there). It had V12 mapping and the current one is now V14.
Advanced In-Car Technologies my rns was crashed so i did a new firmware 1xxx and it worked but i lost everything i am now searching for the last firm and last nav for my rns510 any idea's website's
Only if you have a DAB version. Best bet is to pull out the unit and see if you have the BLACK Fakra at the back, if it does then you have DAB ready to go. If not then you'll need a new unit.
Get the VCDS from aliexpress and see some videos online how to use it, access the head unit control module as well as rest of the control modules, check for errors frist, afterwasrs check if the camera is enabled in he can gateway installation list. afterwards enable the camera in the headunit. easy ;)

hi, I have question, if I have installed the maps and others, these are deleted when you finish the installation?...

I see that you are able to control the BT streaming, and you can see the track info. What type of BT Module do you have? Thanks !
+D. Tudor Hey! It was a Genuine VW Premium BT module. Wouldn't be able to tell you the Part Number as it was so long ago. Would have been the latest one at the time though :)
+Advanced In-Car Technologies thank you ! I order the Polar BT at it works great. My golf loves it. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Can this unit play DIVX etc?
I cant find my aux input in my golf V. I have the same radio. Where do i find it and also it says that i have built in BT but cant find. Thank you

Did you find it yet? I have the same problem
Does this Work on a New Jetta 2013?
I have the same radio but can't find bluetooth
HELP PLEASE!!!
You need Bluetooth module
Can you see the speed you are currently doing on the GPS like on some other units eg BMW X5 shows the gps calculated speed?
It shows on the MFD
Can this be installed in a 2009 VW Passat Variant 2.0 Tdi Higline DSG?
offcourse
Can you purchase and fit this unit to say mk5 golf?
+Nik Komo You can do but you’ll need to upgrade CAN Gateway to prevent battery drain.
Hi, does anyone know hot to update the firmware to get android and apple play
?
Can anyone advise me how you can check if the software is upto date on the RNS 510. I have just bought a 2nd VW golf and want to update the software if possible. Thanks .
I thinkt if you hold the Setup button for a while you should end in an extra menu where you can see the current version of your software (SW- No)
i can buy a module dab?
+Valentino Barillà Please see my reply to your first comment.

how i dont hawe DAB ?i hawe RNS510
which firmware is that
I'm not too sure due to the age of the video, possibly 5238. The latest FW at the moment is 6239 (Or something around there). It had V12 mapping and the current one is now V14.
Advanced In-Car Technologies my rns was crashed so i did a new firmware 1xxx and it worked but i lost everything i am now searching for the last firm and last nav for my rns510 any idea's website's
+Issam B For £150+VAT (Plus postage to us and back) we can recover the 510, load the up to date firmware and latest mapping! 1XXX is very old!!
I have latest firmware and maps, if i fit DAB antenna will it show up like this or through mdi?
Only if you have a DAB version. Best bet is to pull out the unit and see if you have the BLACK Fakra at the back, if it does then you have DAB ready to go. If not then you'll need a new unit.
Advanced In-Car Technologies yea it is a DAB model mate
upgrade from rcd 510 to rns 510, reverse camera wont work it worked fine with the rcd 510,
You need to probably code it with the head unit.
Get the VCDS from aliexpress and see some videos online how to use it, access the head unit control module as well as rest of the control modules, check for errors frist, afterwasrs check if the camera is enabled in he can gateway installation list. afterwards enable the camera in the headunit. easy ;)
"it's so quicK"
Why does my unit say dvd instead of media, do I have a different model?
Yes it says dvd instead of media? Guess it's back to the shop ha. Thanks
I have the deluxe model what a piece of shit this thing has taken a crap it's been replaced and now it goes in and out all kinds of problems I have rebooted it I tried everything what a piece of s***
Will this work for 2008 vw passat variant sport
Yes it should be fine
I have mk6 VW jetta US spec, will this work?
yes, but you'll need somebody with an ODB writer to tell the cars CAN that this radio is there, so it will provide the proper information.
