Title: RNS 510 Sat Nav on the fritz!
Post by: BlinGTIes on 09 May 2016, 21:03

Hi all,

Has anyone else had problems with their sat nav?  For some reason mine thinks I'm near Luton even though I'm in Milton Keynes. I tried resetting to factory settings and that's not done anything, on top of that I can't enter destinations either!  Just totally useless now.

Anyone else had the same problem? If so, how did you fix it. It's still under VW warranty so may take it in. I didn't do anything to the unit out of the ordinary so I'm perplexed as to why it's just gone mad.

Have you tried a soft reset? This can be done by simultaneously holding down the left and right track change buttons and the I or star button. Keep them held until the screen switches off and then you can release.

Might be worth a try?

Hi SeaBrook, yes I did twice. Still no luck. Booked in for VW to take a look and do a diagnostic, have to wait three weeks though. Just very odd that it's happened with no obvious reason why!

Might be the aerial connection. How many satellites do you get?
