Map Upgrades for RNS-510

**Albioninoz** · 11-03-2016, 08:18 AM

I have only had my 2011 Tiguan for a couple of weeks and am hoping to get some info on map versions. I have a RNS-510 unit with the map version of 8035. Can anyone tell me how old this is? Apparently the most recent version is 8207. If my version is too old then I want to upgrade. I've seen discs for sale at Euro Car Upgrades (jku.com.au) for $49 and Camera data for $35. I was used to a Tom Tom that included cameras so I'm keen to have that on my system. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Ray

Wait for a few weeks as the new one usually comes out around about now. Dont know about the camera data.

The cameras and school zones I find useful, particularly if you are in an unfamiliar area.

Thanks for that. I was wondering when the 2016 map would be released.

I've now been informed there are no more map updates for RNS510 coming and V8 is the last we will see. Which is just lovely... Life goes on but support does not which is pretty ****e given the number of VW RNS510 units out there...

No way! They are still selling new cars with RNS510 units, might give my local dealer a call.

It would be good to see what the dealer says - this info was from an on-line seller or maps (Navigation Australia) who would be in a good position to know this and certainly I don't doubt them but wonder what dealer say... I'm not sure that any 'new' cars still have RNS510 - only those that were built and delivered a while ago and perhaps have been sitting on the dealers lots for a while. Most would probably be registered, given to a salesman and then stuck on the used car lot after 6 months.

The dealer is going to call me back, the 2015 CC (current model) still has the RNS510 to my knowledge.
Still, buying a 6 month old car you would expect ~5 years worth of maps.
First traffic info now this

Agree - but the 2015 CC is old stock, no longer listed on the website and yes, shocking that you can buy a new car (or even a 6 month old one) with RNS510 and never be able to upgrade your maps.
