If you are currently searching to upgrade your car head unit, RNS-510 is one of the top solutions for you and the retrofit is almost plug-n-play.
Looking at ebay we found several types of RNS 510 with different hardware A, B, C and capabilities. We also found that the top C version had two other subproductions, the only difference being the screen. TFT-LCD or LED. In order to separate the RNS510 with the LED display, the top right button has been changed to a star.
Due to a significant difference in price, and small differences in terms of features in the star version, I preferred the version with the TFT-LCD screen.
I ordered the RNS-510 from ebay and came to my door in 9 days.
Renewal 12/2012: The latest hardware version of the RNS-510 is J. It features a faster processor, LED display, larger disk, improved radio tuner and of course all the functions of previous releases.
