RNS510 radio trim pictures.

[mark_eire]

Just thought I'd post this for anybody who is debating which trim to put on their Octy II.

I thought the black trim would look less in-your-face than the aluminium look trim so I got both and tried them!!

I prefer the silver afterall as it looks less bland than the black

Hope this helps some of you decide....

**Also note the ON/OFF button on my climate control (permanently borrowed from an 09 Passat ) after I did the little trick to enable the button!!

HI,

Looks good! now i need to find £650ish!

May i ask what type of voice does the RCD510 have, sound recording of it giving nav would be good.

james,

[looking_to_buy]

looking at that, I can't recall what the normal trim the car comes with is!?

is it silver or black as standard?!

[No Waiting]

Depends on the model of car what colour the trim is...

AFAIK: All black apart from VRS (but happy to be corrected on this)

BTW: Quick plug - If you want the black trim have a look here http://briskoda.net/items-sale/columbus-trim-octy-ii-climatronic/151208/

[mark_eire]

vRS comes standard with silver trim but it has a different shape slot for the radio as the skoda stream radio is bigger than the rns510/mfd2 etc as to the reason why a new fascia is required!!

[No Waiting]

but if you order a factory fit Columbus in the VRS you get silver trim, so therefore the VRS is supplied with silver trim regardless of what unit is fitted when it leaves the factory...

I got the silver for my vrs..looks the poddles privates

[Farmerp2005]

The lady's voice for the sat nav is very clear but a little stern. It does sound funny when she says "watford" or "Dartford", not to mention when she says "Drive on this road for a long time". I'll try and grab a sample at some point.

Hi Mark, would it be possible to get a demo of your Columbus some time, before I decide to take the plundge ??

[Brimma]

Or colour-coded ?

Yeah no problem, give me a pm later this week and I can show you.

DIY "piano black" cool !! You just need to do the dash and door trim and it would look the dogs..............

[samuir1974]

this would look nice with the chrome dial trims as per VRStu's original work!!! Perfect!!!

[k.young]

I'm stuffed getting a surround to match the rest of the trim in mine then!

Thats the trim I have in my "Irish" Elegance.

[wardth]

I'm waiting to pick up my Black Magic colour coded trim on Friday.........along with my grill surround!

I've been running a plain black trim simply because the silver was out of stock and it works in a similar way to a black surround on a plasma - it increases the contrast , or seems to!

[vimto2000]

That the trim I have, but the Silver still looks alright with it!

1Z0858069 is your base part number but there are loads of variants depending on colour and whether preFL or FL and climatronic.

First one I've seen since I bought mine without the word 'Columbus' in the middle at the top. Has this any significance only mine doesn't either!

[countryboy]

Mine doesn't either, I can only think that and earlier built unit (mine was in 2008) doesn't have Columbus on it.
