The standard radio with the 6stack CD is maybe good enough for many but lacking the navigation and media player in general, caused me to install in something that reflects the time we live in.

After considering the genuine RNS510, I’ve decided for ANS710, mainly because on the list of the things to do for the Treg’s fifth birthday was also to fit the RVC and fix the VW BT that failed the second time in less than 5 years and it was a poor excuse for the blue tooth in the car that costs close to $100k.

The budget was up to $1000 and wasn’t exceeded, even squeezed in the black box recorder with front and rear HD cameras that works 24/7 driving or parked.

The ANS710 unit delivers on its promise and it is a decent alternative to RNS510 at the fraction of the cost.
Thank you DKN (http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/members/dkn/) .

The biggest challenge was to run the wires from the tail gate to the inside of the car. The navigation is just perfect, using Primo maps that even worn you saying "the speed limit is 60km/h, slow down". :)

Now just need a demo video to show it all off :)


What cameras did you get for recording and how do you find them? Got any example footage? I've looked into it once or twice but there's so much stuff out there and I'm sure most of it must be rubbish

I've used this one ITB500HD 2CH HD (http://www.autoblackbox.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=101)
also I've used BlackVue DR400G-HD II Season 2 Car Black Box in my daughter's Tiguan) I think that the BV DR400G has a bit better image quality, but not as good as Navman Mivue 385 which has 5MP sensor (but no GPS data :( , which I have in my T5.

I will post the video from the Touareg cams in next week or so.
