Can anyone tell me if this sat nav unit will fit a 2008 leon? VW VOLKSWAGEN RNS 510 SAT NAV MFD3 RNS510 Version C V6


Cheers

Yes

yes it will be as asked before a little bit of trimming of the plastic in the radio housing will be required and your clock on the mfd with shift to right also

Thanks for the help guys. Do i need anything else with it or is it just plug and play apart from the trimming of plastic?

 

[dave.richmond]

its just plug and play although there is some coding required via vag-com.

See DanGB's guides for more infor

This would have been ideal....

you will need an ariel connector and also need to connect up your safe pin so the unit doesnt always ask you for the code (though i believe it still works fine without this). I have had mine in for about 9 months now and have never had it coded in

I'm assuming you managed to source an aerial connector, where did you get yours from? I'm still looking for one to split the single aerial in the leon to the 2 connectors on the rns510

i'll be doing this mod soon, whats the ariel connector i need, i know you need the vw mdi kit to get your ipod to work, also with the mdi kit do you need anything else to get ipod vids, music etc to work?

what would i need to get the phone to work through it if its possible?

cheers Rob.

I just use one aerial connector and it's fine, and also picks up all of the TMC information too -

Once you've got the MDI kit you can connect up either a USB lead so you can run another external Hard Drive or an iPod lead to be able to fully browse your ipod, I've got mine wired so the lead comes into the glovebox - although you can't watch videos from the ipod. You can watch DVD's through the normal CD/DVD drive though.

If you already have Bluetooth your phone will work through it fine as it does with the standard headunit - if you want to be able to dial & view contact numbers on the screen though you'll need to install the premium bluetooth kit.
