Navigation Directions
« on: 14 June 2012, 22:45 »
I have recently noticed that when i use my navigation on my car the directions don't come up in the instrument panel display. is this normal or have i got a problem with my system?

Also tweeter keeps crackling which i know is not normal but have been told this is a common problem. is this true?

You should get directions on the MFD too, this worked on my CW GTI MK6 with the RNS510, no crackling either. Take it to your dealer.

For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox

I get the Nav directions on mine MFD, I take it you have cycled though the MFD settings to toggle to the navigation pane?

Also I have no tweeter crackling, so I would go back to your dealers.

Have you retro-fitted the RNS510?, if so you have to code it with VCDS for them to work on the MFD.

Recently? As in it used to be there and no longer is?
Either way, yeah like everyone has said its meant to be there.
I much prefer the display on the MFD as it counts you down to junctions etc which can be handy when it is telling you to turn left and there are umpteen roads to turn left at  :smiley:

Well as i have only had my car a month I have just found out that the previous owner retro fitted the system but didnt tell the dealer. They have offered to fix the problem. Also going to be very cheeky and ask them while they are fixing the problem can they throw in the handsfree bluetooth kit! lol

I think you might struggle with that mate cos to fix the nav issue only requires plugging a laptop into the car whereas fitting the bluetooth means taking quite a lot of the trim off including taking the stereo out.

Good luck!
