close though.

guys this is the WRONG ONE. you need the one with the rounded corners for it to fit into a golf. this is made for the transporter and touareg.

Answers - update

Hi All

Thanks for your questions and interest, I will try and answer most of them.

First, this unit is new to Australia and it is currently undergoing programming for region 4 DVD and mapping software. I have had an order in place with the manufacturer for some time and will have stock around mid March.


The AVC-9000 is an after market version of the RNS-510 with a few key differences, one of which is the AVC-9000 does not come with an internal hard drive. The other difference is the mapping system which is entirely different. My understanding is that the RNS-510 comes with VW own maps which cost a fortune to upgrade. The maps found in the AVC-9000 are route 66 (2007 Q3).

The unit will be plug and play and will suit the wiring loom in your current vehicle. The steering wheel remote functions will work, the only thing i am not sure about if it will work with the head up display in the dash. This is a question I have posed to the manufacturer and am waiting on response.

It comes with an IPOD adaptor, night vision reversing camera and TV aerial as a package.

I have been advised that the screen is an LG touch panel with 336960 pixels. I will get the full specs for you on screen brightness from the manufacturer.

I am getting a list together of people to contact, please send me an e-mail if you would like to be added to the list for a demo when the stock arrives.

Thanks

Rob

Interested in group buy if it brings the price down
Has anyone enquired about this?

auspackelectronics- Can you give us any indication of possible discounts with volume?

Group buys and others

Hi All

I will have a manual of this system on the web site by the 15th of this month. Please check then at http://members.optusnet.com.au/auspacks/technical.html

I am also planning in the next day or so to up load a couple of pictures that the manufacturer has sent me, they will be at: http://members.optusnet.com.au/auspacks/gallery.html

Thanks to Matt for suggesting a You tube video. I will try and get this done in the next week or so.

As to group buys, I will need to check with the manufacturer on volume purchases, to be honest with you I was testing the water with this unit as it is something new we are trying. Essentially our margins are already tight but if i can get a discount from the manufacturer for a bigger order I will certainly pass this on.

Kind regards

Rob

They are getting made in China I presume?
Anyone know if the rns-510 is also made in China along with the rest of the world these days?

[FarQ]

So will the AVC-6502 fit into a VW Bora Mk4? How bout wiring? Do you guys also do the installs?

The RNS510's are made by VDO-Siemens in the Czech Republic.
