VW map update for RNS510

[PeteC]

Hi folks,
How can I update the maps in the RNS510? Where to buy the disc and how to update when I have the disc?
Cheers, Pete

Hi Pete,

go to a dealer for a disc, currently version 6, they used to be really expensive but now they are down to about $50 on special (they were a few months ago anyway and think they still are) , they will load it for you if you ask but all you have to do is insert the disc into the head unit and it will auto load up, takes about 15 mins or so. ....VDUB...

Hi, I live in Pyrmont, Sydney, 2009. Let me know if anybody have one in Sydney and I can visit him.

By the way I just visited VW Barloword on Parramatta Rd.

Hmm. They quoted me $75 for the map update, no CD, they said they will do it through the computer, they dont sell the CD anymore and they said it would take 0.5-1 hour.

I asked them if this would include the RNS510 firmware upgrade too, they said no, that would be another $156 and it would take 2-4 hours!

I said thanks and left.

There are links to the latest firmware and maps in this section of the forum if you're prepared to look for them and DIY. Firmware is about 1 hour, maps are about 20 minutes.

Thanks Ryan, I am looking through the posts now. Originally I posted my question in the Tiguan section and it was moved to here, before I didnt see this part of the Forum. Tons of information here. If someone could help me with the link to the latest V6 maps, I would be very greatful, I found one link to Google Docs, but it has expired.

Cheers. Downloading it now.

np. Press the Eject button when installing the maps to get a progress bar.

Could you please point me in the direction of this thread? I've tried searching, but had no luck.

I also need to update firmware and don't have the map cd. For some reason my rns has just started not playing dvd's, comes up and says wrong region code???

Where did you buy your RNS from If its a Euro one its a different region code to AUS which is region 4 or you are playing a different DVD to usual which is region coded Most arent these days unless it came from overseas

You need to know the version before updating firmware so go to the sticky in the Audio forum

Thanks Hillbilly..

Vehicle was purchased from Barloworld VW (2011 Tiguan) with RNS510 already installed in April its Version is 1T0035680C.

As I said, all our DVD's were working fine, then I tried the other night while waiting for the missus to finish work and none of them would work?? DVD's are genuine, not copies and all are Region 4....

The missus did say the RNS shut itself down the other day while she was driving, but started up again after she turned it back on with no issues at all, I'm now thinking this could be where the problem started.
