Panasonic + RealVNC phone-mirroring in car

Am hoping your supplier has it wrong. I have different information, not a replica.

Agreed.

Could you share that information?

He could be wrong about that one being a replica, but apparently Koreans are very mature with Smartphone mirroring technology so all it takes is one company with such technology to do an exact mold of the RNS-510 units. I haven't been able to find much more on that particular video but I'd only be convinced it's an RNS-510 when they show the RNS-510 interface before entering mirror mode.

The links you had showed the RNS-510 in Korea is different but there's no mention of mirroring feature. As far as I could tell, the main differences are just colour MFD and the map. The different map is probably more due to TeleAtlas and Navteq not being popular or very well known in Asia, so they more likely partnered up with a more popular local map provider that incidentally had much better software than VW can muster.

Have been in touch with the developer who claims it works with all version of the RNS510.
Obviously reserving judgement until I actually get my hands on one and use it but am remaining quietly hopeful it's not a hoax.

Interesting - so it is some kind of hack / addon to the existing RNS-510 software?

Very sketchy at this point.

If I get any useful info will post it up but given its still in development they are keeping things close to their chests. Which is understandable.

WOW - @reading this whole thread!!!

Thread revival. Has anybody come across the android WP9900 interface boxes? Noticed a few videos starting to pop up on youtube showing them interfacing with RNS510's inclusive of touchscreen.

Product page is here - Wonde Proud

There are a number of videos on youtube, but here is one in action - Tuner DVB-T + Columbus RNS510 + Android WP9900 - YouTube

Am I completely missing something or does it appear that we might be getting close to what I consider the holy grail?!

There are a few of these things around, all seem to be in a perpetual state of beta development. I have been in contact with one developer in Korea, he seems to have petered out with his product.

I too am hoping that one of them will reach the market because decoupling nav from the head unit, and relying on an always upgradable handset would be an ideal situation.

Just wanting to bump this thread in case anyone knows of any updates to this...
