RNS/RCD 510

[182_blue]

Steve, the nav disc you got with your 510, does it give the full post code option, or just part (like mine  )? I have been told there is a updated CD that has the full post code option on it, but when asking VW, they said it's £160  . All I need to do is put it in my unit for a sec so it can download the disc on to the hard drive. Sod paying £160 for it though.. 

do you get a partial search on the postcode , as there wasnt a full search available when i last looked (disc version 3) ?, what CD version are you on , also if your on 2 the dealer was supposed to upgrade you to 3 for free (not sure there still doing this though

Just checked mate and it's V3 i've got. So there isn't a full 6 digit postcode option available then?

thats the highest then mate

Oh arse!!!  Pain really, as you still need the road name with the postcode, so it's not that much of an advantage over ones without Postcode software.. Awsome unit, but shame the nav part of it gets out done by my old 3 yeard old basic Tom Tom one  .. You'd think for nearly £2000, it would have it really.. Never mind, i'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it.. 

One other thing.. Can you get a speed display up at all (GPS speed)? Another thing the old Tom Tom has which I haven't found that the 510 does..

Not that I have managed to find.. and still found myself using my tom tom on my way down the A1 last time just to check all the speed camera updates were correct (which they were ).. and obviously the audio on the tom tom helps too. but doesnt the RNS510 look soooooo pretty

Doesn't it just mate.. Would pay the money just for the looks 
Wish the RNS 510 had speed camera alerts too..  The audio on it is good though, although I usually have it turned off...

yeh the dash looks so much better with the nav in, also like the visible speed cameras on the RNS510, shame theres no audible warnings though

Yep, that plus full postcode look-up and I would be an even happier man.

One good thing is while it's still a current unit with the latest generation cars there is at least hope of improved software over the coming months

i considered this for just the audible side http://www.buyinforad.com/index.php?page_id=4&currency=gbp&lang=en&promo_id=xmas  , seem small enough to keep out the way ?

Id do my nut in if my satnav didn't have postcode, its a million times easier. VW taking the piss or something?

also like the visible speed cameras on the RNS510,

  Am I missing something, never seen them? Do you have to activate it or something Shaun?
