sat nav update
« on: December 08, 2013, 07:23:02 pm »
Have OEM sat nav unit fitted to 2006 model. Has a cd disc which most postcodes are on, however, of late a couple of times a postcode I have entered isn't recognised/can't be found etc. Is their an update disc I can get and if so where's best as I van imagine probably expensive from VW. Also, have tried with no joy but anyway the unit (the one without chrome buttons) can play DVDs?

I think i put V9 on mine but somehow didn't get the speed cameras that should have been on it ! Did i do something wrong when installing it ?

if its an RNS 510 unit you have, you most likely need to update the firmware and install new maps. I do the discs if you want them?

Is this the unit you have?

A 2006 model I would have thought would have the older mfd2 you can still get updates for it from various map disc resellers on the internet.

£196 ish from the dealer  :surprised:

Sometimes they come up on eBay

Or if you ask nicely someone like myself may well rent you the v9 maps for not much money - I have a genuine disc :happy2:
