1. Yes you will.
2. No, GPS antenna comes with most rns 510 you buy and anyway they're cheap to buy on their own if it didnt come with the headunit. "GPS module" doesn't exist bud its just an antenna. that plugs into back of headunit.

How/Where are you getting the dvd player from as this requires a change of the CD drive in there? I currently have satnav, bluetooth but no dvd.

RNS510 has a built in DVD player. The RNS315 does not.
