OK thanks, haven't called service department yet, but will tomorrow morning.

Hearing you can turn tp on sounds great.

Does the v2 of the sat nav card make any difference to the reported sat nav problems?

I am at the dealership now. They are like we give whatever maps come with the car. But I mentioned people got V2 maps that got the car before and after me.
They are checking on it now.

Kennyc: If you are there now, show them the pics of the latest software. If they still refuse, ask them why the folk on this forum are more knowledgeable than their own mechanics!

Thanks guys, just shows the forum community can help each other.
I now have V2 maps but didn't have to resort to showing or mentioning this website. Went and saw the guy who sold me the car and he was very good, helped me out. After-sales support still very good.





Also actually used the maps for the first time today as i went down to moonah links to play golf. The system still cannot say most of street names and can't even say "road"! It is like Roooeeeaadd. Stupid.
But i love how the navigation switches to the screen where the speedo is.
Loving the car more and more!

Glad you got it all sorted kennyc.

I would be interested to see how old the maps are. I bought the latest V7 disc for my RNS510 and the maps are ~January2013. Over one year old on the latest release? Would it be possible to copy the SD card before it gets installed in a radio? I think the radio would brick the card for copying or swapping.

Kennyc:Well done! I quess the message for dealers is - don't mess with the VWW community!!

Have you got TMC working on your car? I installed the VCDS tweak last week on my my13 model. It adds a totally new dimension to the Sat Nav. Screen now shows little triangles where the congestion sites are. Just touch the triangle on the screen and a more complete description of the traffic delay is displayed. It's all updated in (almost) real time - Great stuff!

Pity about the voice pronunciation. I had thought (hoped, really) that V2 would fix the appalling speach impediment of the announcements. How hard can it be for a SAT NAV to correctly pronounce the word "Road"? The worst part (for me) is when the SAT NAV tries to say highway numbers (particularly the number "4", or "40-something" - says something like "frewery" instead).

Wow the TMC sounds great! I come across a fair bit of congestion due to road works etc so the TMC would be really helpful when I'm trying to work out an alternative route.

veew: Do you own, or do you have access to a VCDS cable? If not, and as I said in a previous post, can you get to my place for me to do the tweak for you -where do you live? I'm fairly sure that there are VWW folk that are willing to do tweaks for other members in the various States - not sure where to find details. Failing that, you could ask your dealer to install it as part of the next service (you would argue, of course, that it ought to be provided at no cost - given how easy it is to install).

sucnip: Hi. When you refer to "TP". are your referring to the reports that should appear on the Discovery Media screen when the "Traffic" button is pressed? If so, I've been trying to activate this facility for some time (without success) on my my13 series vehicle. On 15-03-2014 (12:09 PM) I posted a few VCDS shots on the thread titled "Mk7 Golf TSI & TDI - Observations and Questions" and I asked for help in completing the process. I have copied the link below, but my VWW profile is set-up to view the latest thread page first, so I hope that the link works for you

Anyway, I would welcome any advice that you could provide (my suspicion is that I'm entirely on the wrong path). thanks

Hi DV52. Just saw your post. Did you get everything working ok? The TP setting is in the radio settings somewhere and not in the traffic button. One drawback to the traffic reports is that they aren't very good/reliable - at least in Sydney.

Cheers,
David

David: Yes it all went well once I plugged-in your magic number (which was later confirmed by alanzidane in a subsequent post). The information was very useful-thanks.

I had already set-up the requisite radio settings long ago in the irrational hope that somehow the illusive VW Golf fairies would magically install the facility in my car without any further intervention by me (don't know why this didn't happen)!

I've had mixed success with the accuracy of the reports here in Australia's best State. On the whole the reports have been not-too-bad, but I might be in a good period - only time will tell! Thanks again for the information

Incidentally, I updated the detailed procedure that I originally started for the the TMC tweak to include credits for both alanzidane and yourself. I appologise for not getting your prior permission but I hope that this was OK. Getting to the final answer was a collaborative process which confirms the value of community forums such as this. For your reference, the corrrect link for the fully completed TMC tweak is below (the link in my post to you was incorrect):
