Re: Sat nav v.10 update

I think VW should put you back to the position you were previously in, after all, they have sold you a faulty product. Have a look at the link below and scroll down to "Your rights when buying digital content": https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/consumer-rights-refunds-exchange#dig...

Re: Sat nav v.10 update

WAZ1 do you have an earlier version SD as I understand you can downgrade as well as upgrade.

Re: RNS 315 maps update

Have a look at linked thread on the B7 forum. It seems there may be problems with the v10 update but I didn't find any with v9.

Re: Sat nav v.10 update

WAZ1 Did you install the v10 software or run it from the SD card? Also have you checked to ensure that the system is using v10? You can do this by holding down the 'Setup' button for about 10 secs then use the menu presented to get to various details about the RNS 315 including map version.

Re: Sat nav v.10 update

I have a couple of saved destinations on mine. Will delete them and see if it then behaves properly. Will report back the results. At the moment I'm running from the SD card as I don't know if the system would allow me to revert back to v9 for which I also have the SD - anyone know if it is possible...

Re: Sat nav updates

It would seem that v10 for the RNS315 is now out - see ebay for suppliers. Copied from an ebay supplier: If you don't know which model you have: RNS310 or RNS 315. - Press "Setup" and hold ~10sec., choose "Versions" *RNS310, have 3 information lines *RNS315, have 5 information li...

Re: RNS315 and the 'Pips'

This problem has now been explained. On Radio 4, generally at 08:00, there is a need to split the DAB broadcast so that Yesterday in Parliament can run in parallel with Today. They have chosen to make this split at the time of the 6th pip so that it is lost. Although Yesterday in Parliament doesn't ...

Re: Error airbag

I have previously had the airbag warning come up. It seems that once it is triggered it does not clear even if the cause self corrects. I cleared the fault code using VCDS and it has not re-appeared.

You should find a switch in the glove box to disable/enable the passenger airbag that is operated with the car key.

RNS 315 Security Code?

Does the RNS 315 unit as fitted to my 2012 Passat have a security code that I will need to reset if the battery is disconnected. If so where can it be found (I bought the vehicle new)?

Brake Pad Wear

I have just had the 100,000 mile service carried out on my 2012 Passat 140 diesel Sport saloon. The brake pad wear is reported as 65% worn on fronts and 30% on the rear. These are the original pads - not bad after 100,000 miles I think! What are others getting?
