Can somebody please tell me if both will fit in my 2011 (11) plate Polo Match with RCD310 as standard?
What does the RCD510 have that the 310 doesn't. I know the RNS has satnav which is nice but anything else I need to know about either of them?
Thanks

The 510 has a six-CD autochanger, touch screen, SD card slot and AUX input, the RNS doesn't have an autochanger.

But my RCD310 has aux too. Built into the centre console. Where does the auto changer go?

Inside the actual RCD510 Unit, it's very nifty

Is the RNS510 worth having. Do any of the units have Bluetooth? I have the MDI connector in the glovebox. Will all the units connect right up to this?
Will my RCD310 be DAB? I have been in my friends and it shows Radio 1 song titles and artist and stuff like that.

How easy is the RNS510 to fit? Will it just replace my RCD310 with no problems?

^^ the guy who knew what he was doing plugged in RNS510 in roughly 15 minutes. Half of that time he was checking if it will work with my no name parktronics (it didnt) and updated maps for my country. So i d say it should be rather easy

So there is already an arial for the SafNav in the dash? I am hoping to buy and fit the RNS510 myself. Does anyone know one for sale?

I got mine for 400 Euro (fitting included). It was marked as "used" but there were absolutely NO signs of usage on it (no scratches etc, else i wouldnt buy it) and there was a box too. That guy got steady supply of those things if anyone interested although i am not sure if he can send it somewhere.
