New Golf owner - help with sat nav required please
« on: January 06, 2017, 03:14:47 pm »
Hi all, thanks for reading my post. I have just bought a second hand golf gti (08 plate) having had an older version a few years ago. When I bought my latest golf I wasn't massively fussed about the sat nav...... But now I am.  It has a RNS510 sat nav, which is pretty standard I think.  I am finding it infuriating not to be able to put in a postcode search.  It seems there is no way of doing this.  Firstly is that correct? Secondly, if so, is there a way for me to update/upgrade what I have got to allow postcode searches? The car had the media disc with it when I bought it about a month ago.  I don't have he first clue about what to do with it, my nav works fine as long as I don't want to search for a specific postcode. Any help/ ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

It does a 7 digit PC search if you update the firmware on the rns510.

Ady, please tell me more - I don't even know what that means, let alone how to do it.  Excuse my ignorance, I would really appreciate some advice on how to go about this.......
