#17 of 18 Refurbished RNS-510 by rv65 Aug 22, 2008 (12:41 pm)
3C0 035 684 X is the part number for the remanufactured RNS-510 or refurbished. It can be had for under 2k but there is supposedly a 500 USD core charge. They are limited in availibility but they are cheaper than paying over 3k for one of them. One guy supposedly has new ones for under 2,500 USD.
#18 of 18 RNS-510 and MDI by rv65 Oct 02, 2008 (8:38 pm)
RNS-510's are now here. You can get a discounted unit for 2300 USD at your dealer if you order 3C0 035 684. The maps are finally here. Map part for RNS-510 is 7L6 919 859 though you could call navteq and mention the RNS-510 and that you are retrofitting it. It will require VCDS programming if you have dynaudio. If your stereo has an amp then programming is also needed. The MDI iPod cable is now in stock. 000 051 446 C is the part on that and it's slowly getting into dealers. Dealer can probably order it. It's just a cable but you cant use your own iPod cable due to the MDI's design. It's pricey but has full integration on compatible iPod's. VW isn't advertising this as an iPod adapter but it does play iPod's. It doesn't work on the non nav radios since they didn't upgrade those yet. The MDI and RNS-510 have full iPod integration with that cable. It uses it's own interpretation of the iPod interface. It works like an iPod not a cd changer. Hope this helps.
