RNS510 issues

yeah, i had teh dummy thing too, drove me nuts. mostly resolved with v6 or v7 maps. it happened on v5 maps that were delivered with the car. it still does it occasionally but not enough to drive me insane.

I've had my Alltrack since January last year and haven't experienced any of these issues. Apart from the slow system start up when the car has been turned off for more than 15 minutes.

I'd suggest asking VW for a firmware update at the next service since they're still under warranty.

Mine also had the Dummy thing until the map base was updated. It now only seems to say Dummy when it gets confused (maybe talking to itself?)
Frankly, the navigation is so poor I've reverted to using my android phone. It's far easier to programme and more reliable in its directions.
My greatest frustration is the alpha keyboard. I'm amazed that is doesn't have an option in the setup for a QWERTY keyboard, really confusing when I'm used to spending several hours per day at a computer keyboard.

unfortunately cannot do this afaik, new mk7 nav can set abcd or qwerty keyboard. there was evidence of one rns510 in hongkong with qwerty but no one knows how to do this.

I had a problem with mine where the radio mute when reversing would not recover on going forward.
But only when cold. B nuisance. However, after car serviced, all OK. Service dept claimed found nothing wrong.
