RNS510 Question, newbie... so please forgive if asked too many times

as everyone else already mentioned - just unplug the old n plug the new. everything will work.
although u'll need to do some vcds coding to tell the car that u now have an rns510 unit in place.

however, if u want to make use of voice control for the rns510, u'll need to do some re-wiring so the mic is wired into the rns510, instead of the bluetooth unit, as it currently is.
if u leave it as is, u'll only have voice control for phone calls.

going slightly off topic now - why does the top spec performance golf not come with the rns510 as standard?!??!?!
it comes with the best of everything else - why did vw skimp on the headunit?

Yeah, it is definitely a nice profit maker for them, no way that thing is worth $2500... the US market did it a bit differently, but then the US versions of the Golf R really cut back on some of the nice things we got standard to meet their silly low prices they all demand there.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

As for the voice control, I'm not too fussed about it as long as I can take/make phone calls.

I asked the same question when I was buying the car, and dealers response was "its easier this way to make more money".

I found a unit for sale here in Australia on ebay, link below.
