Since my beloved MK1 Ocatavia /vRS is now a rightoff I have been looking at a MK2 /vRS to replace it!

I have always had decent stereo system in all my cars I spent yesterday recovering my Apline CDA-9997r and rainbow components, sub, amps from my old car at the scrap yard where it is stored.

Anyway the standard speaker locations on the MK2 to don't lead to a very good SQ install and I not sure that a single DIN head unit will look that good in a MK2.:thumbdwn:

Now the MFD3 / RNS510 / Columbus looks to be a very nice unit however it does not have the expandability I desire i.e. the use of Aftermarket Amps subwoofer output channel and you have to pay extra for bluetooth and iPod intergaration.

So I have been looking at aftermarket systems, I looked at the cheap Ebay systems from China and I think the old adadage you get what you pay for springs to mind the GUI's look awaful quit low res screens the iPod interfaces on the better looking ones attach to the front so cables showing, no RDS need I go on umm not for me.

Now after much trawling of the net I have stubled acress a German manufacture buy the name on Zenec they manefacture some very nice looking systems indeed however they're not cheap and you could buy a MFD3 / RNS510 / Columbus cheaper!

The unit that has caught my eye is the ZE-NC2010 it looks similar to a MFD3 / RNS510 / Columbus but has the expandadbilty I am looking for as well as having a CK5050+ Bluetooth system from Parrot intergarated in it, High resolution 1440 x 234 (336960 Pixel).

The iPod interface looks one of thae best I have seen by far, the navaigation is based on iGO8 and also incudes TMC (Traffic updates) the GUI looks great possibly even better than MFD3 / RNS510 / Columbus

Here is a link to the PDF from their site describing all of it's features

I am thinking of taking the plunge asoon as I get my hands on a MK2

the best price i have found so far is from Alpha Car Audio

@ £874

I think you have been misinformed. The RNS 510 has lineouts on the back.

That Zenec system does like good actually.
