I'm hopefully soon going to be replacing the standard CD/Radio in my Octy vRS with an RNS510.

On the various threads I've read on this I'm told I will need to purchase a new surround (although I assumed the RNS510 was physically the same size, so could use the existing surround?).

Anyway - I've got a list of about 6 different part numbers so I'm totally unsure which one I want - so now I'm asking and I'm including pictures

Here is my radio in my car:

The "Stream MP3" will be coming out.

And one of these will be going in:

Please could somebody give me the part number for the new surround I'll need to go and get from my local dealer?

Thanks.

Silly question - looking at the my picture at the top.

Do I have Climatic or Climatronic in my car?

The part numbers I have (from another thread):

1Z0 858 069 B 9B9 - Trim for climatic switch for vehicles with navigation system satin black NO PHONE SLOT

1Z0 858 069 F 9B9 - Trim for climatic switch for vehicles with navigation system satin black PHONE BRACKET SLOT

1Z0 858 069 C 9B9 - Trim for climatronic switch for vehicles with navigation system satin black NO PHONE SLOT

1Z0 858 069 G 9B9 - Trim for climatronic switch for vehicles with navigation system satin black PHONE BRACKET SLOT

1Z0 858 069 L 2AU - Trim for climatronic switch for vehicles with navigation system bright aluminium NO PHONE SLOT

1Z0 858 069 Q 2AU - Trim for climatronic switch for vehicles with navigation system bright aluminium PHONE BRACKET SLOT

1Z0 858 069 L 2AU - If I have Climatronic

1Z0 858 069 B 9B9 - If I have Climatic (no silver option in this case)

Agree?

Ta

you have the climatic system going by the picture above

Thanks for that - the first picture is an actual picture from my car, so if that is definitely Climatic then that is what I have.

So I guess for a final question/s - does anybody know if you can actually buy the radio surround in silver for Climatic and NAV (MFD3)?

The part number a couple of posts down indicate that only a Black surround is available for Climatic.

That leads on to the very final question - If a silver surround doesn't exist, I may well buy a couple of black ones and attempt to spray one up as silver myself.

1. Would I be able to get a finish I like

2. Advice on paint choice

Thanks again - I just want the dash to still look nice once I've bought and had fitted the MFD3.
