Thanks. Does anyone know where I can buy one and or the approximate price?

This is the error message I was referring to below.

Question to the wise. I have the factory fitted RNS510 and have copied via SD card my music collection. I converted it to mp3 format prior to doing this. The music plays however, each time I open a folder to play it, it states words to the effect "can't read file". It then proceeds to cycle through each song before it plays normally.

I can stop the car and resume playing from the same folder and this process does not occur. However, the same process occurs again when I go to a new folder. How can I fix this?

I apologise if this has been covered before.

This issue is related to extra files/headers or even the original files or album jpeg that have been dumped into your converted MP3 folder. The RNS will read all of these first and throw up this error before eventually getting to the correct MP3 format songs in your folder.
Either delete this folder and reload new folder again after having stripped these files out on your computer or delete each individually on the RNS510 directly.

Case closed

Thanks very much for your detailed response. I will delete everything off the RNS, clean up the files and reload it. Thanks again!

Another question since you've all been very helpful solving them.

I would like the headlights to stay on when I leave the car, I believe it called 'Coming Home'. I think I have the settings correct but they don't stay on.

I've consulted the manual and it didn't suggest anything other then pulling the high beam 'stick' on for a second and releasing. This works as a one off but doesn't stay fixed. Can anyone explain what I need to do. I've included what I believe to be a relevant photo. Thanks in advance.

Try leaving the headlight switch to 'Auto', this should do the trick.

I concur with 99Reza.

I always leave the headlights on auto, so I don't think that's it. Any other ideas before I go to the dealer?

For the coming home feature, when you are getting out of the car, pull the indicator stalk. This will leave the lights on for a period of time then.

Thanks. Do I need to do this each and every time?

Yup you do... it annoys me and my dad's Golf VI is the same. I think it's silly because if you're driving along and you see a parked car flash its highbeams you think they're warning you of something.
My previous Golf Vs and mum's 07 Passat would do it automatically if the headlight switch was on Auto, don't know why they changed it.

Thanks at least I don't fill silly now after reading the manual and coming to that conclusion. How ridiculous is that! Even ford can manage a better system. Thanks again.

Well I applied Nanolex two days ago to my four 18" wheels, thanks to my wonderful girlfriend. We pulled each wheel off, cleaned them up and applied the Nanolex to the entire wheel before putting the wheel back on. It took us 3 hours to do it but hopefully it will be a great result. How's that for detailing dedication?

I know, I know but it feels good to be looking after the car.
