RS510 is it RNSMDF2?

Hi and thanks for looking, I've got a question and I not sure I'm getting the help or answers from my dealer so I am hoping someone can help me! I've just picked up my new Golf TDI DSG Pacific with reverse parking sensors and Sat Nav, now here's the thing when they quoted for the Sat Nav they quoted on a RNS510, but upon delivery I have a Sat Nav that starts up with RNS MFD2 I'm not sure, but are these two things the same? Sorry if I sound stupid but I'm not getting a answer out of my dealer (salesman off sick, off on a RDO etc) also no manual was included for the Sat Nav so I can't even learn to use it!! Does anyone have any insights for me? Thanks

does it look like this ?

No it doesn't look like that, I think also that the RNS510 is touch screen and the one I have, no matter how hard I touch the screen, all it does is reflect my finger prints!!

You can download the US RNS 510 manual here.

Thanks, but I am not sure I have the RNS510, I think I may have the RNS MFD2, which I think is different, and that is where the problem is! I am assuming they are different models. Thanks!

mfd2 and rns510 are completely different.

mfd2 = old model and crap
rns510 = new model and much better

if they quoted you for a 510 then definitely demand they install one.

Looks like they got a car without the satnav (RNS510) and becasue they cannot obtain them, as afterproduction, they installed the old model.
Go and create hell. I know they are desperately trying to offload those old units.
Another thing they tend to do is tell you the 510 also incorporates bluetooth. It apparently does not. That is another $1,000 if you go factory.

Thanks Guys, they must have thought I really was silly not to notice, I guess now I'll have to go and rattle some cages, any suggestions on how to get them to do it with out losing my dignity!!!

As them to "Please Explain" then ask politley to speak to Dealer Principal, then ask politley to be directed to VW Australia Customer Service.
First of all, check your purchase order and invoice. Even if it says "Supply SatNav" and the car was built after the release of the RNS510, you can claim the RNS 510, as that was the one described in the Brochure.
