What difference, if any, should I see in my MFD having installed an RNS510?

Thanks for the response, appreciated. I had not done the first bit... BUT:

My equivalent screen above under 19 - CAN Gateway, Long Coding, (as well as mate's who has an R) looks very different to the above screen (screen shot here: https://skitch.com/javab0y/8dine/img-0219.jpg)

Any ideas?
I did get the needle dance and the emergency contact button number change happening though!

EDIT: Found it, I didn't have to do the above Step 1. Just had to go into 19 and then go Into "Installation List" and then Select 37 Navigation and that's it!
So happy.

BIIIIGGG Thanks again Erkin.

Unfortunately still no luck at my end.
I spoke to my dealer, who basically said there was nothing further they could do.

I've made enquiries with Quattro Motors here in Perth, however they have advised that I will need to have the coding before I head in. Not 100% on the coding side of things.

That said, glad you managed to get things at your end up and running!

Sorry to hear & thanks! Very happy. Can imagine how annoyed you must be - bugged me too, for the few hours it was not going.
I suggest finding a VAG unit and trying this: Just had to go into 19 and then go Into "Installation List" and then Select 37 Navigation - that's what did it for me.

Hawker.....have you accessed the navigation gateway via VCDS cable yet? Do you have access to a VCDS (RossTech). Cable?

On a related note... I want to sell my RCD that was removed, anyone tell me where to find the security PIN code? I assume I need this? It is not in the stuff that the dealership gave me (that I can see anyway). Will the dealer give it to me if I called and asked, I suspect that they will want money - but I will try tomorrow.

EDIT: Called up dealer, Lennock in Canberra and they said they have to put the RCD back in, plug in cable to get the code, and then put back the RNS? ...and of course charge me for it. Is that for real? Surely there is an easier way.

That's what I have been told too by others, but that's what the dealer said over the phone. I will have to rock up there and try my luck?

I doubt very much that it will be that easy: I know the Canberra dealers are a lot more "special" compared to other states for some reason...

FJ Steve, I haven't yet had the opportunity to have a fiddle using VCDS. Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a cable, and haven't yet taken the plunge to get one for myself.
I have contacted a local VW mechanic however, and they've said they can have a look at the coding as long as I'm aware of what needs to be changed to get things working. That's where it's a little tricky.

As far as the security code is concerned. I was at my dealer this week while they had another go with the coding and replaced a part. I asked for the old RCD510 code and the Service Manager just jumped on his computer and had the code for me in about 30 seconds. Totally painless and free!
Fingers crossed your dealer gets their act together and organises that code for you.

Whereabouts are you atm? I'm in the CBD (finish work at 5pm) and might be able to spare a couple of minutes. Got an appointment later so can't be too long.
