Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)
Yeah I still havnt been added to the list on the OP even though he said I could still be on it on that Tuesday. Anyway, he's away guys. We must be patient
Hi,
I'm new here, I just got my Passat MY12 wagon last week.
This seems like a great deal and I think I'd like in on this please. Hoping it is not too late.
But I do have some questions... I don't even know what model head unit I have (think it is RCD510) or which model I will need. I'd like the DNS810 but not sure if it will fit? Just trying to learn about that now.
Sorry if these have already been asked. I have only just seen this thread and am keen to get in on it, I haven't had a chance to read all 75 pages yet!
My first question is... what is better about this compared to an RNS510 / 810?
Mu secondary questions are:
Will the BT handsfree be equal quality to the factory unit?
Will the optical drive support CD / DVD / BluRay?
Is there built-in HDD storage like the factory RNS series?
Is there a full set of specs for these units? e.g resolution, sound output, etc??? I had a quick look at the ANS thread, but there doesn't seem to be specs there either, just a feature list.
You mentioned support for lossless audio playback? Is that FLAC format? I really want this.
Given the numbers being ordered, is future firmware development likely?
I want to use this with a reversing camera (which I don't have yet). I'm considering buying an OEM, but don't know if it will have the dynamic path option... yet. Can the accessory module (RGB RVC adapter) be decided later?
Are there specs on the different camera accessories you are offering?
Sorry to be a pain... think I may have some more questions tomorrow.
Sorry guys, I am overseas on family business and will be back in about a week. The early batch order has been sorted on Tuesday and is being produced as we speak. Those overseas customers will actually get it earlier, as they will get direct shipment from the factory.
As for the list, I'm sorry I haven't managed to confirm with everyone but my inbox was quite flooded after I sent out that notice. Everyone who opted in before Tuesday are on the list, rest assured.

What kind of specs are you after? I listed most of them out in the first post. I do try and consolidate information best as I can in the first post as more questions are asked. Regarding your questions:
I have to test FLAC myself, but being the most common lossless codec I would think it is supported.
Future firmware development will continue for quite some time, especially since there are some planned features that aren't yet implemented in the initial release.
BT Mic quality is average, but streaming sound quality is good.
The drive supports CD and DVD.
There is no built in HDD, it supports up to 64GB SDHC or USB at present.
Accessories can be purchased later, though I don't recommend the OEM camera. With the CCD sensors that the Audiosources cameras have, the quality is already pretty good, but if you get an OEM camera and use the RGB adapter, any quality advantage that the OEM camera might have would be lost in the conversion process, and you would have paid several hundred dollars more.
hi Sandy I have a question I got the DNS 810 coming soon..I just bought the focal ifvw golf 6 speakers and they're pretty good. But I was thinking of getting a sub now. have you heard of subs that go under the seat.? If I get a sub can I just run it to the DNS 810?without an amplifier? Will the DNS 810 be able to run the sub? Here's the link to the sub.
