  • Finally made it back to VW land

    Greets forum members

    After 5 years driving other Marques (read: Ford F6-310, BMW X5, BMW 335) I am back in VW land. I bought the wife a 147 Tiguan back in Dec 2009, at which time I had a full spec R32 on order from the factory. After lengthy delays and dealer BS, I changed my mind drastically and bought a V8 X5. Recently traded that for a 2012 BMW 335, which I let go today. Sometimes life throws you curve balls, mine was the loss of my business after 5 years.

    So, to cut a long story short - I picked up a MK V Golf GTi earlier this week as a replacement. 89,000 on the clock, a bit of trollie ding and wheel rash action, but other then that great condition.

    Just wanted a heads up from any members out there that may have performed a RNS510 upgrade, I've read through the various forums here, and understand that I will probably need a VAGCOM settings upgrade to make it play happily. I also want to add front & rear OPS and a badge camera, but I can't see whether I need anything else other than the sensor and camera kit in addition to the RNS510.

    After I get this upgrade sorted, I plan to get some new rims and then look at power. Any pointers would be gratefully received.

    Cheers

    Just had open heart surgery on the MKV, nice shiny RNS510P with new 9W7 Bluetooth and MDI. Everything playing happily and really glad I went with the manufacturer option as opposed to an Android/cheaper option. Total cost was $1640 including fitment of everything, can't complain at that.

    I've received the front and rear OPS (pre painted) and factory badge camera, so that's the next install project. Then I'm looking for new rims and rubber, and after that a lil' extra horse power. Probably a little silly as I'm likely going to replace it with a MK VI in 12 months, but hey, it's only money after all
