Hi have recently bought a 724 S4 it has a Novotel smart 6 receiver in the roof and the VD03 controller, currently have EGNOS and an option for terrastar L. What other hardware will I need to upgrade it to RTK or is it just an unlock required in the screen?

Just need to get your Fendt service man to come out with his laptop and unlock the existing software, obviously at a cost. Can’t remember price, around £5-6000 I think but can’t be sure. No need for anymore hardware. If going to use n-trip then the sim slot is in the VDO3, just pull the plug out and you will see a small white button which will eject the sim slot.

5-6k for an unlock.... what a scam. Get 10 AOG autosteers with RTK for that!
I could be wrong with the price, it could have been £3000. It was probably 5 years ago but it was less than half the price of a topcon system.
I was more stating that no more actual hardware is required other than a cable, aerial and SIM card..
