DAB+ versions of RNS510 now available

[saint70]

That's RDS (Radio Text) which is broadcast over standard FM.

DAB+ enables many extra stations such as Mix 80's, 90's, or if you prefer a bit of doof doof Gorilla Radio.

No, i am not going spent money on it...happy with current rns-510

Opinions about retrofitting DAB against a standard RNS?
RNS 510, RNS 310 DAB Radio Upgrade

You'd want to make sure you never lose the remote control...

That strange since i have full name of radio station + songs name on screen. I do not have dab or adaptor...?!?!

I got the RNS510 DAB+ and it is frickin awesome in Melbourne. So many radio stations, latest hits from the 80's and 90's, I love it!! Worth the $2000

you need a new hw revision for dab. i installed one sourced from europe into my b7 passat, we simply ran the fakra cable down to the b pillar connected to a bit of stripped cat6 cable. i do have the factory antenna splitter for the antenna however i am yet to install, it performs with my macgyver antenna very well.

Dab+ is not available on Australian units EXCEPT for the very latest ones which are possibly not here yet.

If the info says DAB 255 in the config it means its not available according to a reply by Kamold the other day.

A search through threads from past two weeks would have revealed this one

Not a cheap unit as you can see guys

No, but £799 beats €1600 - and at that price the traffic advisory button would still do nothing here in Aust..

I read that only these units have the following part number are DAB+ specific.

1t0035686c or d. c for inbuilt with western maps or a d on the end for eastern maps. As you have pointed out in the above photo it's got to have an antenna connector at the top of the unit. RNS510's of today don't have that extra.

Ouch. Bit x$y for now. What life does the RNS510 have if the mk7 doesnt accept it in its dash? Worried it might be on its way out...

At €1600.00 though it's a little steep...
