Rns maps

[avalasia]

I took delivery of my Tig on Friday and am wondering if i should have received a CD for the maps of the RNS 510?

Also does anyone know how to check what firmware is currently installed on the unit?

My dealer refused to hand over the maps DVD. I had to get VW Australia to kindly force the dealer to send me one in the mail. You can only find out the firmware version and maps version with VAGCOM or if you have access to the "hidden" setup menu. Keep holding the setup button until the third menu appears. About 15 -20 seconds.

I received a CD with mine...

this topic was covered in another thread a few months ago from memory...
and it sounds like there are a couple of locations trying not to give one out - but the consensus was that it should be provided.

I think they may have accidentally left it in my Cd drive - as the cover was left on the passenger seat - with the disc still in.

I know that we include the Nav disc with the delivery of the car. We've also got a disc on stand-by, in case the allocated one for the car doesn't turn up before the car gets handed over to the customer.

i contacted the dealer and was told that he will order a DVD for me with the RNS maps.

I have to admit that so far the VW Liverpool dealer has been great to deal with.

Tig was delivered with Pirelli tyres (i dont know if the dealer has anything to do with that) and a full tank of diesel without any need for negotiation or to have it in the contract.

They also offered me a free extended warranty from 3 yrs / 100 to 6 yrs 175 which was nice. All in all a great buying experiance.

With the Gov tax benefit's closing in December, new auto sales will begin to drop quite drastically.
Dealers will now have to do more to get people to buy car's and keep their margin's up.

Still good on them for giving you all the extra's.

You'll find that this is not uncommon. If you read the fine print, you'll probably see that the extra 3 years is a dealer warranty, not a factory warranty, and is subject to you servicing your vehicle with them for the whole 6 years. There will also be a few exclusions on the dealer warranty.

DJY,

Who were the installers not giving out the map CD?

My installer is in Melbourne.

You can PM me if you want.

Thanks,
Geoff.

There was another thread, I thought in this forum.
I do recall this topic coming up last year though.

An ebay seller (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/RNS510-SAT-NA...item4a9df133c4) is currently selling some (V2) for a very reasonable price.

I purchased one, which has just arrived. Genuine. Arrived very quickly. Seller has nothing to do with me, but some of you might be interested.
