VW map update for RNS510

[Idle]

[I@ Mantis:- If you check the region code in your unit, you may find it has reverted to its factory setting.
Mine (installed by Barloworld prior to delivery) thought it was in China and wouldn't play most legal discs — home burnt ones without region code were fine.
Barloworld at that time (2009) didn't know how to fix it (or didn't want to, said they'd let me know but I heard no more from them) — had to do it myself (easy with VCDS.)

Hmmm, so chances are a simple firmware update won't fix it....

What is the VCDS you speak of? I'm pretty new to the whole VW jargon, ask me anything related to a Subaru and I'm in my comfort zone, but speaking VW is a totally different language to me.

Vcds consists of a cable and program from ross-tech.com It plugs into the connector above the accelerator and lets you set the modules and systems in the car. It also lets you see fault codes and reset them. If you set DVD region to 0 you can play any DVD.
