RNS510 Maps Version 3

[swado]

my cars due for delivery end of april/eary may, can anybody tell me if i will get v2 or v3 of the maps with the car?

how does it work? are the AU maps loaded on when the car is being built in germany or does the dealer do this ?

i should be entitled to v3 maps if they are the latest when i take delivery of the car yes?

[Swallowtail]

Dealer does it. If it's been released when you pick up the car, yes you should get 3.

There are other ways just give it time.

surely there are other means of obtaining the new maps?? 1200 is out of the question. If it was 200 then ok i could justify it!

I would like to know who actually and has ever paid for an upgrade? A year later it's old and your wallet is 1200 lighter. Just wait till it comes out at least.

After getting no where with my local dealer and VW Australia regarding SDHC problems and the Version 2 map I have lodged a complaint with NSW Fair Trading: Homepage
It's easy to to do, and perhaps if enough of us complain VW will do something...

Finally VW service guy called me in today to get my V3 map updated...so happy after 4 long months wait...
It did fixed my annoying message from before which was "No Route Recommendations for this Destination".
Best thing was it was done for FREE but he wouldn't give me the V3 DVD...

I don't think you can expect both.
Edit: that is if you got the car before v3 is out and they are upgrading you for free.

My dealer has just given me the V3 DVD (I did not get a disk when the car was delivered).

(deleted offer to upgrade for others as this may violate licence)

Mk 6 Golf, you seem to have a problem...

Actually, I don't have a problem. It is hard to recognise sarcasm sometimes, without the oral sounds and visual body language to support said sarcasm. To me, the initial post didn't seem "clear to all and sundry" that the post was in the wrong thread. I'm new to forums in general, not just this one, and am still learning about the versioning of the RNS510 system hence I asked the follow-up question. Oh the joys of non-visual communication, always likely to piss someone off or upset someone when no malice was ever intended. What fun this is.

Anyway, back to topic, I'd love to hear if anyone can help me out with Post Item #10 above. Does anyone out there know the answers to some of these queries, or can shed some more light? Thanks.
