Replying to: rv65 (Feb 02, 2008 2:31 am) 3C0 036 684 Now avaliable at the VW dealer for a cool 3499. There is going to be an RCD-510 which has a 6 cd changer, touch screen, phone integration, and sd card. Just no nav on that unit. The RNS-510 is the one to get. http://www.lutschi.biz/album/RNS510/ Gallery of this new navigation system. That is the Euro version but the USA is identical. Bluetooth from a Skoda works with this thing. Touch screen dialing. For those with Cingular and T-Mobile a premium bluetooth is also avaliable. However a USA bluetooth module with BT audio is going to come out as well. That unit will have full integration with RCD and RNS-510 units. The bluetooth unit will have to be programmed with the VAG com tool. Also it will have to be plugged in to the Insturment panel in order to have full integration. 2009 is when factory installed BT might be avaliable but can be retrofitted. Sirius is built right in. So is HD radio. Will require an antenna for Sirius. Also some antenna adaptors will also be needed. Works with Dynaudio but will have to be programmed at the dealer or use VCDS aka VAG-COM. VAG-COM v7.11 beta will code it and so will 8.03 beta. The DSP sound system might have to be coded as well. Hope this helps.

Replying to: rv65 (Mar 22, 2008 8:15 pm) I dont understand the price of 3,499.00 I dont know who would be willing to pay this amount of money. My question is, if I purchase a passat with nav see option below MSRP Dealer price PIP DVD Navigation w/iPod Adapter info $1,800 $1,589 are they the same unit? if yes why so much money. I recently bought a passat without Nav thinking I would add it myself. if you are correct on the pricing, then I made a mistake in not getting the nav. The RNS-510 must be a different unit then the option given. any info would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: lepia (Jun 22, 2008 7:12 am)  . Supposedly a retrofit kit will be available thats much cheaper. It requires an extension cable for Sirius since it has it's own tuner. Spare part navigation units tend to cost more than the factory option. The RNS-510 does work with the iPod adaptor but that one is terrible anyways. If you have Dynaudio then you will need VCDS aka VAG-com to reprogram the unit. Dynaudio has to be programmed in order for the RNS-510 to work with it. The MDI is an addon you can install to the RNS-510. Replaces the aux and iPod/Cd Changer. Requires a special MDI iPod cable but gives you full integration.

Replying to: rv65 (Jun 23, 2008 11:12 pm) Thanks much for the info. I will wait until it comes down to $1,200.00 Although it seems like a great system, I dont want to pay 2K for a GPS
