PASSAT R36 RNS 510 crash and re-boot wyong NSW

[VW Convert]

Not going to help... the New England Highway ends in Newcastle.. the only ways to avoid the F3 and Wyong going to Sydney are through the Putty Road (Singleton to Windsor), or the old Great North Road through Wollombi/Bucketty/Wisemans Ferry.

What better excuse for a drive along the Putty Rd!

Push for a Sat Nav replacement...

I had mine replaced late last year with great sucess, previously mine also crashed out in the area of goulburn - tumbarumba & all of Canberra.

Feel free to use my rego (NBG83K) when talking to your dealer, VW Australia has a massive case file on my car regarding this issue.

Better still... go via the Wollombi Pub and order your self a "Wombat" Its a schooner with half Tooheys New and Half Dr Jurds Jungle juice

I call it the "Bermuda Triangle"

also get
"No routes found for this destination"
when entering
a) Yalgoo from Perth City
b) Northam

but when getting closer <20km from location, unit locks in.


Tues 4 Aug
fixed by Osborne Park Volkswagen
now working OK.

Just got back from a trip to Sydney in my R36 sedan and the exact same thing happened to me in the same area!!! Twice!! On my way into Sydney and then when I drove back out. There must be a dead zone for this specific unit. How Freaky!!

Another one - recent trip to Sydney with two VW's in convoy - 2 x RNS510's (one factory fit, the other retrofit) both crashed at the exact same spot - on the way to Sydney & also on the return journey.

Weird eh?

Folks

May be totally unrelated, but I discovered that my RNS510 crashes and reboots with a nasty "pop" thru the speakers when my 'phone shuts down on low battery. It is linked via the basic VW bluetooth.

Kloster VW in Newcastle are aware of this and can provide the fix. Sure it was discussed on this forum somewhere previously

Volkswagen tells me Version 3 SatNav discs are on their way. I'm told this fixes the Bermuda Triangle.

i'm hoping you're right. Mine died a week ago and died properly. No GPS. No music. Nothing. Local VW dealer has a whole new unit on order. What I heard though was that the fix (a new Whereis disc) isn't due to late 2010.
