[whoistheg]

Just saw this link on ebay

Looks legit

VW RNS 510 MFD3 Latest Sat Nav DVD disc V4 2011 AU & NZ | eBay

So are the V4 maps out now? Very soon ?

i wouldn't trust that one!

according to whereismaps themselves, the next one for vw/audi/skoda is going to be when they release their v18 maps.
"Please note: There is no Version 17 map update available for purchase. The next update available will be Version 18 in late 2011/early 2012."

their current v16 maps is the current vw v3 map.

The part number is old and the copyright is not current.

Pass on that one son.

Link? Anything? Ta

Bit confusing with our VW versions being 3 (and maybe 4) whilst WhereisMaps talking versions 16,17 and 18. Some other car makes are getting version 17 released to them, whilst VW / Audi have to wait for a v18.

Sure would be nice if that ebay disk was legit - driving from VIC to ACT was interesting with a number of road changes leaving my sat nav telling me to drive through a field at times

Yeah, the same thing happens driving to QLD from Sydney...

Damn road upgrades!!

Our V3 maps is equivalent to V16.

So a little bit of Back to the Future, with our RNS510 thinking it's back in 2009!

Actually what their website says is that the after market head units by Bosch and Blaupunkt wont have updates available - "Buy map updates for selected Volkswagen models which have a Bosch (or Blaupunkt) system." - it makes no mention of OEM disks for OEM headunits like the RNS510. I've emailed them to ask for an update on RNS510s - will post any reply.

Kinda looks Authentic... the Part Number on it though for the 2nd one doesn't turn up anything, according to this page, the first 9 digits remain the same and the last one is the iteration : RNS-510 FAQ and Part Number Listing [Archive] - VWnavi.com ie, v2 = C, v3 = D, so it's feasible the H revision of this could be v17.

Also, the Copyright on the edge of the disc says 2010.

If this was Mythbusters, I'd be calling this one a "Plausible".

I'll give a VW parts department a call and see if I can get some more info.

It's legit

7L6 051 859 H - Confirmed it with a VW parts department, it's V4. $530 from VW.

[Corey_R]

So which whereis version does it contain I wonder?

[Pepe]

Wasn't V3 like 16 from 2009? 2010 I would assume would be 17?

[sVWatt]

would make sense.
I've emailed my VW dealer to ask if they know what version it is.
If it's legit - it's crazy that VW dont let anyone know it's available.

As per my other post, I called a dealer today and confirmed 7L6 051 859 H is indeed V4 of the maps.
