What do people think of this?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271045584777; ... 26_rdc%3D1

Seems like an OK price, but had my fingers burned once already. Anyone know the vendor?

who did footers get his rnse from Shop? sure he got the new software for 3d maps or something?

i haven't heard of that seller, but he's got some good feedback. although that may be a tad overpriced for an rnse though.

Looks legit to me - 4 sold (2 recently) and based in uk with good feedback. I've seen these at this price before, but only from eastern europe.

Am tempted myself tbh...

Agree that this looks a decent price given its condition, 2013 maps plus 6 months warranty. No personal experience of the vendors but a mate of mine was happy when he bought a replacement unit from them via Fleabay for his Mercedes E class, but to be fair he was only doing this because he was selling so I can not offer any long term feedback

Got my RNS-E form them. Not had a problem with it.

Changed my RNS-D to a Kenwood DNX7210 BT and it's briiliant. Looks the part and the sat nav is excellent.

But no readout on the dis with aftermarket head units.

Or steering wheel controls if you are fortunate enough not to have the pauper spec steering wheel.

Shop, get the 2010+ nav if your gonna make the jump .... As per footlong.....this version of the rnse is ancient now, i no as i have it in my bloody 2010 R8!!!!

I thought it was a 2012 unit. Must have misread the ad. Thanks for pointing that out. Deffo wouldn't get an old spec one.

*you're
*know

They put an older spec RNSE in a 2010 R8? I'm shocked.

So am i....apparently i missed the factory switch over by a matter of weeks...it proper low rent

Go for the 2010+ rnse or not at all imo

that's the only disadvantage, no controls on the steering wheel. But the sound is amazing so more than makes up for it.

My understanding is that the RNS-E's fitted in the later C5 RS6's are relatively rare and hence the higher prices they can command. Although some are advertised with 2012 discs, the later RNS-E units themselves are a completely different spec to the original (2 x SD card slots and LED screens for example). I *think* the units from A3/S3's , part number ending 193G are the ones to have ???
It's here things get tricky for fitting them to our cars as the fascia etc need to be changed

I thought all RNS-Es had 2x SD card slots. The older ones could only take SD cards (not SDHC) so were limited to 4gb, but the later spec could take SDHC too.

Also, does it really have an LED screen? I'm surprised at that, thought it was an LCD (LED backlit perhaps)?
