Title: How about a sticky thread for build week change notifications etc?
Post by: JellyCat on 08 November 2009, 20:49
Just a thought, it seems that a few of the guys are able to find out and upload build week notices etc regarding changes to car spec's etc.
May I suggest a sticky thread as a central archive for these? Would be good place to find out changes to car spec etc.
Or (sorry of this is a daft question!) is there already a internet site you can go to view these? (Guessing it's an email to dealers).

Hmmm... if we're on build week 45 now then there should be an RNS510 firmware update disk floating about somewhere in the next few days  :cool:

That video was posted on September 8th - so it must be on V2660.  Its a beta version, and the official version if it is due out for Week 45 and is V1200.
There is a thread about it on VWnavi, and someone has it - but I don't think this could be a video of it as its only been out for a couple of days.
Hopefully it will be uploaded soon  :smiley:

slight tangent but the VW bluetooth voice control has been impressively accurate :)

Yeah looks good but I think it would drive you mad after a bit.
My dad has this on his focus and with road noise etc, it is always asking you to repeat yourself. 10 minutes to carry out a task that only takes 2 seconds by hand.

When I was in the USA my hostess had this on her car.  Every time she said "dial [whoever]" she added "please".  Every time, it screwed up because it thought "please" was part of the identification.  Even I figured it out the third time she did it.

It was her car.
