Are these units all plug and play , I’ve picked up a rns315 from a seat , hoping once I get the code it’s just plug and play ?
Thanks

They are indeed but as you're probably aware you will need a GPS antenna for the Sat Nav to work. If it's DAB, I'm not sure if the wiring is their to the amplifier and antenna in the rear side window.

You may need some coding to get all the additional information (phone / sat nav) to display on the MFD.

You'll need a dab aerial, but not all 315 had dab, only the later ones.
Select radio and it should have the option to select dab also.
IIRC one bnc connection is for the GPS aerial and other for the radio
