Missing sat nav interface
« on: 05 April 2013, 21:08 »
Hello to everyone !
I am pretty much about to sign on the dotted line tomorrow for a 61 plate golf gti dsg.
Do any of you fellas know why it does not have the large media head unit but rather a standard display ?
I would really appreciate any advice.
Cheers,
Stunty. :smiley:

Hi Charlie,thanks for the quick reply.
Sorry to sound stupid but when you say what spec could you clarify a bit ?
It seems to have everything factory fitted but without this media interface ?
I think before signing I'll query it with the dealership.
P.S. I tee off at 11:30 tomorrow!!

Standard RCD310


Upgrade RCD510 with DAB can have one without DAB too.


Upgrade Sat Nav RNS510


Totally Wrong the RCD210


Cheaper newer sat nav RNS310 or RNS315(has integrated Bluetooth)

The mk6 GTI didn't get sat nav as standard. The standard head unit for the GTI was the RCD310, with the option to upgrade to the RCD510 touch screen unit (without Sat Nav) or the RNS510, with sat nav.

If you Google RCD310, RCD510 and RNS510, you'll be able to see what each unit looks like, which will help you identify which one is in the car you're looking to buy. Link below highlights the technical differences.

If it has the 'standard' display, this suggests it's fitted with the RCD310 unit.
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl
