I sourced one from somewhere other than Auspac Electronics and the installer cant get the unit to interface properly with the CAN-BUS, and the unit will only work when the ignition is on. As it was he said he had all sorts of trouble even finding power to run it at all. Either there is something the installer doesnt know, or Auspac's units have different firmware or connector(s). Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the AVC-90001 is the MK2 version of the WD6050 which makes sense cause the MK3 units havent been out long. The MK2's had known issues with what you have described.

hey guys, I have a golf mk6 and thinking of getting a AVC-9000-1 or RNS510 and putting it in myself..

Do you think this is a good idea or would you have it professionally installed ? I'm still looking for a good price on the units...

Thanks Faisan for your reply for what its worth. Can anyone who has had an AVC-9001 professionally installed in Sydney with no issues give me the name of the installer?
Thanks

The GPS on my unit has stopped working for a few days. I have the AVC9000 model and not the newer WD6050.

Is anyone else having problems with GPS? I have read about how alot of the WD6050 units are having this problem too.

What a coincidence, my AVC9000 also did the same.
Working one day, with Uncle TomTom, and the next, could not receive any sats. Did the usual press of all the buttons, to no avail.
I am assuming it is the antenna that has developed a fault, so have ordered a replacement, which I hope to get in a few days time.
Pulled the antenna apart, and it is a sealed chip, so no way to repair it.
Auspak sell for less than $30, so hopefully the replacement will do the trick.

guys this happened to my unit as well, and noticed yesterday about lunchtime it started working.... might be a particular batch/build-dated units?

I've just purchased from Rob at Auspacks the AVC9000-1 unit.
I already have the older unit AVC9000 which I'll put into my Jetta as it only has the half MFD display and it won't integrate to that.

The new system integrates perfectly with the MFD as the original RCD500 unit in my Passat.

The overall setup is better - fits better, electrical plugs are located differently & the CANbus box in integrated within the unit, touchy feeling stuff is better (buttons nicer), software a bit less clunky, has been 100% bug free so far. (very minor bug in software in older unit which was sorted by Rob). Backup support from Auspacks has been excellent.

Running IGO8 in both units - far superior navigation software I think (have tried TomTom).

One happy customer.
