vw rns510 or seat version

[lee3011]

I'm going to buy one or the other but not sure which one to get?? Can you play dvd's on this seat version? Plus with the seat one I imagine the large mfd would show the directions?

The seat version lacks the SD reader which is pretty useful to have. both can display on the mfd

The rns does play DVDs. Due to the sd card reader you have to cut out a small portion of the centre console to make it fit.

Don't know about the seat version

Seat one also plays DVDs, both show the directions on the large MFD (needs coding with Vag Com).

I went for the VW one for mine due to the SD card (handy for putting music on). I would also go for the VW one as it gets all the firmware updates where as the SEAT one is left in the dark.

Like someone mentioned above the VW one has the SD reader and you need to chip a little bit of the plastic away inside where the radio fits inside the dash (very easy job).

The VW one is the one to go for, it does everything the SEAT one can, plus has the SD card reader, LED backlit screen and the latest firmware.

You can change the splash screen to the SEAT one so i really can't see why anyone would have the SEAT version.

I've had the vw version before just like the idea of keeping it original with the seat version plus no battery drain

I have the latest vw one fitted in my car, plays DVDs, voice activation etc. no battery drain, easily fitted too

I've had 3 RNS's fitted to me car, first one being a Seat version. Tbh the better unit is the VW RNS, the display is nicer + it seems to respond faster, not to mention the SD card slot. You can check out my build thread here (Pretty sure I talk about the units somewhere in there):

And they both play DVD's.

What firmware you running mate? There's one on eBay version B with H11 FW2760 would this cause battery drain?

Also I imagine that the SEAT version would not cause battery drain?

Battery drain is more down to the age of the unit. A very early 2007 RNS 510 from a VW wouldn't suffer either.

I take it you're aware this only applies to older cars? Anything 2008 onwards has an updated can gateway so even the newest RNS 510s work without battery drain issues

But I've seen version B with updated fw, would H11 fw2760 be ok

Well i have eventually bought a vw rns 510 and should be here tomorrow, I already have a SEAT boot logo on a disc from the last one i had but can it be used more than once? Also what do i need to change on vagcom to enable nav directions on the large mfd?
