Title: Sat Nav update?
Post by: savvasa on 16 July 2010, 11:05

Morning all, I was just wondering, does anyone know if you can get an updated DVD with newer maps on it? My road is pretty new and isn't on current system I've got.

MK5, 2006, GTi.

Cheers

It'd probably be cheaper to buy a standalone sat nav or use your phone if it's capable.

that defeats the point of having that massive screen in the middle of the dash. Ive found a link on Pirate Bay, but im nervy about downloading it and running it on my system.

There's a guy in portugal selling copies for around 50 euros - blagged myself a 2010 map with TMC enabled to for traffic re-routing.

TMC is already enabled, has been on my RNS 510 since new.

TMC is std on RNS 510 but never offered by VW on the MFD2 - the OP has a 2006 GTi.

My GTI is a 2006, does this mean I have the RNS 510? The only reason I ask, is cos all the pics ive seen on Google look different to mine.

Slightly confused...  :laugh:

Most likely you have mfd2, it should say so on power up. Still it's easy to tell. They are quite different beasts. Use the search function. RNS is touch screen, 3d map, sd card, hard disc etc.

Tmc? Is that traffic info? I've got the mfd2 and I get traffic information. I'll post a pic if needed.

Yes, you can get traffic info on the MFD2 if you have a 2008 disc or later.

VW will tell you that it's not available!

TMC are data packets of traffic info rather than the audio traffic announcements, the SatNav is then supposed to automatically embargo that section of road and reroute.

Does TMC actually work for anyone in the UK, I supposedly have if on my mfd2, but it never appears to be able to find a station providing TMC.

Is there a newer version of the maps for MFD2? The CD says I have V3.

As I said in my post above, if you get the latest DVD, it does enable TMC (it usually locks onto the Classic FM TMC channel).

I think you need v8, but please check.
