    V16 Nav Disc for MFD2 - from Whereis

    Note that the latest Navigation Disc V16 for Volkswagen MFD2 units is now available directly from Whereis at a much reduced rate ($265) compared to buying it from VW dealers.

    This disc will NOT work in RNS510 units.

    Not very clear on website, but is that a CD map or a DVD map???

    With that many POI and the listing just saying pre 2008 Golf V, I am thinking this is a DVD map?

    I wonder if they have a cheap CD version as well or have they stopped updating the CD maps?

      No idea... but given that even the DVD discs for the RNS510 only have a few hundred MB of data on them, I don't think it makes any difference. I think it may be CDROM based media.

      Being pre 2008 that means it is definitely only for the MFD2 or earlier VW nav systems, I don't know much about those though... I don't have one of them - can anyone that has one comment on whether the maps disc is DVD or CD?

      EDIT - the graphic of the disc looks to me like it has the CDROM logo on it, not DVD.

        Rang their "helpline" number.

        Just said it would "work" because unit is pre June 2008 as per their listing.

        They could not grasp the concept that a DVD won't actually play in a CD nav.

        It does say DX though, which sort of implies it is the old CD based system.

          LOL... it does look like the compact disc logo though. I don't think it's DVD.

          My previous car (Mazda 6) had a VDO Dayton unit with Whereis supplied disc and that was a CD too. Had no problem fitting all the Aussie data on it. Whilst we are a big country, we don't have many roads... When you think the Euro systems have all of Western Europe on a DVD...

              I bought the CD version recently. There doesn't appear to be a part number. It's just referred to as "Aust V16 DX (CD) Navigation System Update"

              $273.50 including shipping.
