R32 gps

[thezoneR32]

Stock suspension is a bit spongy especially in the front during hard cornering. I need more feedback. Fitted whitline rear and front sways to my lib 3rb and some sti springs. Completely tranformed thar car.

Hows the ride? Is it a bone shaker? I havent had experince with H&R. Are you still running factory struts? A few years ago I put some Bilstein sprints and eibach springs in a honda accord v6. Handing was amazing. Very progressive.

Scuse my ignorance but what is a haldex gen II?

The RNS510 is a lovely bit of equipment. I got mine from Harding Performance, and have been extremely happy with it.

Dynaudio seem to be pretty good

Haven't heard or seen their home audio range but imagine it would be nice. I've got Magnat speakers at home that sound pretty nice, they used to have a big range of car audio but we didn't really get it over here.



Which thread did you see, the show off your ride & install (previously had an Alpine HU)? The MFD automatically shows audio info with the stock 6cd unit as well as the RNS-510. Glad you liked the pics, i wanted put some up to show the various integrated menus etc.

I've got H&R Street Performance Coilovers and H&R Sways (Front: 24mm, Rear: 26mm), and had Haldex Gen II.

This is the thread from mobileelctronics. Good read. Might give it a go myself now. Doesn't look so hard.

If you dont mind me asking what sort of dollars did they charge for the unit. Is it more favourable than vw themselves?

The ride is very good considering the ride height. The rebound feels a lot better and got rid of that under-dampened feel the stock suspension has. There is still some tug and release noise when turning the steering wheel at parking speeds, but only a minor niggle which can be fixed.

There is a good thread & info on it here:

$3k installed about 18 months ago.

Thats pricey. But better than the $4.5k that Solitaire VW quoted me over the phone yesterday!

Ok I'm starting to learn more about my new car thanks guys. I realise that the mk5 gps is the RNS-510. I went in to solitaire vw today and sat in the new gti. Wow what fantastic fit-out. I love my R32 but I'm jealous! Anyway, the new gps is something completely different. Can anyone tell me what the model number of this unit is? I have found plenty of RNS-510 units on ebay for around AUS$900, would it be possible to find the new one to purchase somewhere overseas? VW quoted me $4500 to fit and supply the new gps into my mkV, ridiculous!

Cheers

I don't think there is a new sat nav unit out, MK6 still have the RNS-510 as far as i know?

As G-Rig mentioned there is no new GPS, it's still the RNS 510.

Perhaps you're getting confused with the new standard head unit the RCD 510?

I doubt you've seen the RNS 510 in ebay selling for AUD$900, they're most likely the Chinese knockoffs (rubbish IMO). You can pick up second hand RNS 510 for ~$1100-$1500 and new units from Europe for ~$2000.

The list price for a RNS 510 from the dealer is listed on my website below but dealers do not have to supply them for that (and the margin is really tight and i wouldn't sell them for that price)

[thezoneR32]

Bizarre. Must have been seeing things. I sewear it looked different. I'm sure it only had three square buttons on either side rather than four. Maybe I'm going crazy.

Anyway there are plenty of units for sale on ebay for around $800-$900.

I'm sorry Maverick. I coudn't work out how to find it on your wesite.

Can you give me a direct link?

I need to get a factory gps real soon as I use my car for work to go to appointments in the day and the navman is going to be jetisond soon!

How does one ascertain whether an RNS-510 for sale on ebay is genuine VW or a cheap knockoff?

[thezoneR32]

Here is one that just sold on ebay for $991. Are telling me its not the real thing?
