maps in RNS510

[Swallowtail]

Figured it out, once again something to do with turning things on with VAGCOM, such as voice command, bluetooth, speed control etc

Yes, those bits and pieces are all controlled through VAGCOM and / or extra external hardware. Which Bluetooth system do you have?

Found a guy called Matt out in Camden who has a VAGCOM might give him a call to see if he is still around to get a look at the VAGCOM setup

Plenty of guys on here with VAGCOM - I'm sure they will help you out if you need it. Or you can come for a drive to Brisbane... with the beer...

Premium....ripped off as usual, but hey it works, perhaps this update will enable me to use ALL the features now although other half hates me using it when driving. If this does not work i may get an OS version as I know these ones are FULLY integrated with the RNS510.

Moving up to Maleny soon so I can guarantee you that Corona or 2 or 3 or.....

It should integrate with the RNS510 anyway... I thought the premium one did. What features are missing?

LOL.. I'll take you up on that...

Touch screen activation etc etc all it does is mute the system, number does not display etc. It is a matter of getting it turned on via the VAGCOM but this can only be done AFTER the update I believe, so we will see.

[Swallowtail]

The update doesn't change anything with regard to phone integration... it should just work. Not sure what info you have?

Rns510 dvd

I don't think that's the 'official' line. The DVD comes with a single user license so installing it on another would breach the license.

Back of the DVD case: "The parallel use of the software, database and map data stored on this data carrier is authorised for one navigation system only."

Side point here, but when you buy an RNS510 new from VWA via a dealer (i.e. as original fitment in a car), you are also buying a license to the maps. Therefore they must provide you with the DVD - this is your proof of license to the installed maps.

Also the car can be coded to accept the RNS510 by anyone with VAGCOM, not just your dealer. If it takes 2 hours then they are seriously struggling with what is an exceptionally basic task...

As discussed earlier my CC delivered 6/11/2009 fitted with RNS510 arrived without a DVD. Asked the dealer and was told that there is only one DVD at the dealership and they load that into all cars. Seems at odds with the EULA but the dealer may have a DVD with different end user conditions.

Questioned dealer again after advising that other RNS510 2009 cars were delivered with DVD but received the same response.

Thought I would try Volkswagen Australia. First the Customer enquiry line. Asked them if the DVD should be supplied. Answer; "We don't sell cars here. You will have to ask the dealer" . Dead end 1.

Rang VW Australia head office direct and asked if Passat CC MY10 should have the DVD delivered at time of delivery. Wait for it. I was transferred through to roadside assistance. Perhaps they thought I was lost and could not find my way home.

Can't see myself getting much joy on this one. If the DVD sells at approx $1000, I am sure dealers must pay VWAG something for it. Might be a tidy little saving for the dealer if they are reusing the same DVD for each car sold and not supplying the DVD to the customer. Or maybe selling the DVD that maybe should come with each RNS510 through their spare parts divisions to the ebay RNS510 purchasers. Or am I just being paranoid.

Would be grateful if any others received the DVD with their new cars and OEM RNS510.

I could do without the DVD if the dealer was to offer me a free reinstall if required or free upgrades during scheduled servicing as they became available as long as that complied with the EULA conditions of the "dealer DVD".

Also won't read SDHC 32GB card although manual printed 04/09 says that it does. My car is 08/09 manufacture. Phoned service and told that they had never heard of 32GB cards being used in RNS510.

Once again the forums seem to know more than the dealers.

this is the case generally with dealers, they do not know much and as they are the being backed by the "brand" in way of employment most people believe what they say.

To be fair to the dealers they won't know about SDHC working as headunits with the revised firmwares won't have come through yet and the dealers don't pay people to sit around and watch the forums and play with cars.

I'm a 7/09 build MY10 Tiguan with factory RNS510, manual printed 14/4/09 (English 5/09) and agree - says it will take a 32GB SDHC but only 2GB SD. Don't have anything bigger than 2GB to test it tho'.

Dealer gave me my own map DVD and I wouldn't have expected anything less. What you're hearing sounds pretty shonky to me.

As noted above, the DVD cover expressly states its 'authorised for one nav system only' - I'd b asking to see the dealer's DVD cover too! - although the same warning is NOT on the DVD itself. Fine print round the outside only says it can't be loaded into a retrieval system etc etc, which is a different sort of a restriction.

RNS 510 AFTER Firmware update

Hey guys upadted to the new firmware and everything is fine.

But very confused on the following; it is supposed to have upgraded your SD to be able to read up to 32g. Well I put in my 8g with my mp3tunes and no go but it reads my 4g (with mp3tunes) no problem. Is there somewhere that you are supposed to turn this feature on?

Any advise is really appreciated
