If its factory fitted it will have a shark fin on the roof and make sure they give you the RNS 510 disc with the maps on it.

Not factory fit. The dealer is putting it in - taking out the factory fit one. I want to make sure it has a 'new' dealer install and not an old off the shelf one...

As far as i know the latest one is version C, what are they charging you for the RNS and fitting ?
there are plenty of threads on the RNS buying O/S and fitting it your self is a much cheaper option
But if its being fitted by the dealer it will have a GPS aerial under the dash above the unit .

Thanks. How will I be able to check version numbers etc? Is there some menu option to check the HW and SW details?

Not that i know of .make sure you get the manual and disc it should have year dated on the disc, and check the receipt for what model was fitted , what did they charge you for the exchange of your unit and fitting ??

I have read that the manual and disc will come later in thebpost, not from the dealer at the time.

I got it for 2.4k fitted. No reworked Lithuanian screens. No customer changed his mind in Ireland

I have a Lithuanian RNS 510, how is it any different to the one you have, im pretty sure my screen shows the same data and i paid less than half what you paid, including install and i also got a MDI kit installed too.

DiZzy - no doubt a trouble free one is a bargain. Top marks to you. I have read others where the supplier has supplied factory seconds. Coming from the electronics industry, I'd rather a new one than a rework. Preferences. I respect yours - glad it's a good one.

I'm sure there are many here who have bought from Lithuania and are more than happy after all mine cost $950 delivered and only cost $80 to be coded to the car and i still have my original 6 stacker and MP3 player ,where as yours cost $2,400 and that included the loss of your original head unit, so we all know who's in front .

Oh, common guys! What's the point of this?

It's just the radio, it doesn't matter who fitted it and where it comes from, the main thing is that it performs flawlessly.

Here you will find how to check the s/w version. www.my-gti.com

so we all know who's in front .

Didn't know it was a race Ian - thought it was about freedom of choice and expression. More than happy is good. I commend you and happiness levels. When i get mine I too hope to be as happy as you.

Back to the subject ... Is there an easy way to tell what version people have ? Lithuanian, Irish, Australian or otherwise

The only way i know is to pull the unit half way out and there's the sticker on the top giving serial number and the version of the unit, if its a new unit ask the dealer for the box the unit came in ,as i'm sure it should have all reverent information on the label .
Also make sure you are given the user manual .

Thanks mate ... Sounds like a job for home, but i assume the dealer should give me the install kit / extractor tool ?

All you need is a credit card and a 25 torx tool.
