The rns 315
I've just done the same.
Do you have a white mfd on the dash?

yes i do
so did you have to do anyting extra, or was it really as simple as buy the unit and swap over yourself, as long as you have the code.

More or less.
I saw mine on eBay and collected so I could check it out.
Straight swap, you may have to get someone to code some features so your steering controls will work and you'll need a mic and loom linking from the stereo to mic

Thanks , currently trawling auctions , some are with dab, some without, some say Bluetooth not working !!
Am I right in thinking they have built in gps? Or do you need to add a GPS receiver ?

They all (RNS units) have sat nav (GPS), you just need a GPS antenna.
It's also worth looking at the Kenwood OEM units as they have everything you want.
