In order to retrofit a RNS315 (or any other vw sat nav for that matter) is it just a case of taking the old headunit out, wiring in the GPS Antenna, plugging the new headunit it and then putting the code in and your away? Or is there some sort of calibration/extra coding required? Car is a 2012 Polo 1.2 Match if that makes a difference!

Thanks!

You're correct it will just be a case of replacing the old head unit (RCD 310 DAB most likely) with the RNS 315 and adding a GPS antenna.

The only complications could be if you wanted to use the onboard RNS Bluetooth which requires extra wiring, and if you're Polo has the optional Highline trip computer and you wish to integrate the RNS to this (requires VCDS coding).
